Waiting time on new listings...
 

I have a new account which I created using my work internet, a new prepaid CC (which I had no option to register a name for). But PP acc was created about 4 days ago, all verified. Ebay acc created about a week ago.

Spent all night last night creating templates, and listing.
Added listings this morning, has been almost 12 hours and still showing up as selling 0 items. My items are simply not showing up publicly! I have also created a store a few hours after listing my items.

How long do I have to wait? I'm really anxious. My items are the lowest risks you can imagine, and are not vero.

I only have 2 things which I'm afraid of:
1. when I put in my acc details (new acc details) for customers to pay via bd, I put the new acc numbers in but my old name by mistake. I have then come back and changed it though.
2. I have an official website, but my "shop" is ebay only, there is no link from my listings to my site except for the ebay shop's blog and fb page..

Do you think this explains the delay in my items showing up?

Please help, sooo anxious and pissed!
:tears:

If you change listing information than eBay counts it as new item thus wait time will be longer. No need to worry.

I did I did.... stupid spelling errors.. but isnt 12 hours abit rich?

I really need to keep this account in good stead as it links to my official business site.. geesh I am only selling handmade dresses and stuff :fight:

Does it sound like I had done anything wrong at all in my process? besides the entering wrong name for checkout acc details...
thanks for your time.

One of my listening and a few other sellers that I read about on ebay forums,took up to 24 hours before it showed up. It's nothing you did wrong, just how eBay is. :(

how does it work then.. if you pay for a 7 day listing and get 6? *inserts rude words* :violin:
I just remember why I hate them sooooo much

yes exactly you get much less listing time, this usually only happens when items are your first ever listings

*sigh* well now its almost 24 hours... still nothing...
let's hope it will show up next hour and a bit

they are taking 24hour to view the items. It happened to me on all items! :S yes you pay for 7 days and get 6 days!

Non sense... but we have to abide by the laws :( Goodluck with your listings Nadia and happy selling :)

Regards,

it is now past 24hrs... I'm not sure what to do now... I'll just give it a few more hours and see.

Also when i previewed listings my pics showed up ok but now when I review the listings (in my ebay) the photos only have question marks. I host pics with picasa web do you know what the story is with that?

Stay calm, just let it be. Work on your other accounts in the meantime. If you don't have other accounts, make more. There is nothing you can do, just wait. Don't panic.

Well guys... it has been 1 and a half day since my first listing and more and 24 hrs since my last one (I listed 5 items, all low risk)

Shall I just face it that I have stuffed it? :(

If you keep revising . Ebay will keep counting it as new

I have stoped revising or listing as of 26 hours ago....

Does it mean I have stuffed it somehow? :s

It doesnt mean anything. If it's been over 24 hours and your listings are still going, you're likely going to be fine, even if they don't show up yet. Again, my advice is just let it be, let it sit. If the account is dead, it's dead anyways. It can only get better as long as it's still up and running.

Some wait times are NEAR 24 hours before they show up in the listings...it's crazy I KNOW!

I was selling soft for 1 day, got 3 bids. Obviously this is because it didn't show up in eBay till last few hours/minutes.

thanks, 2 days now :/ guess they are slack. I'll search around for a shoppingcart for my site in the meantime I guess..

Hey all, thought Id give you an update.
Well eb never got back to me so I contacted them. All was fine with my acc. The problem was that for some reason I created a store on US eb instead of AUS eb. There is a sort of like a glitch in their navigation system.
So I had to close the store down as AUS user is obviously not allowed a US store. They couldnt tell me how and why the system let me open it in the first place.
What I have learnt though, is that AUS sellers need 5+FB before you can open a store, with US sellers, they can do so immediately.

Another thing, if I hadnt contacted them, my issues would never have been fixed...

LOL Nice! I'm glad to hear that everything is ok with you!! And thank you for that information. Good luck at what you do! :)

Yeah sometimes you can't be afraid to contact ebay. Its not like they are going to go threw the phone and shoot you.
