Cant find item when searching

curlytoast

I listed a dress last night on ebay. Before i clicked the button to complete my listing, there was a box saying attention. It basically said my listing might not be searchable using keywords for a period of time, only by item number and in 'my ebay'.
So basically when ppl are searching they will not be able to see my item.
Well i clicked to submit anyway, thought my listing would be searchable by now but its not. I searched the help box, but to no avail.
Ive emailed ebay , but does anyone know the reason for this, im potentially losing out on customers bidding.All my other items i listed last night are fine.

Is it an expensive make? Items that are prone to counterfeits seem to take longer to show up... presumably someone checks them for warning signs...?

yeah its designer, but it is genuine with tags etc. So my item will definately by searchable soon then?

Should be, but I haven't listed a lot of designer gear lately so I can't give you the benefit of my experience :rotfl:

Yeah can take upto 2 days for a listing to become viewable. They should allow for this in the number of days listing.

I have come to the conclusion that the reason everyones listing dont show up is because of what fay has said, i am sure all listings are checked for wording and context
