item doesn't appear?
 

hi guys, i just listed a new item but after 4 hours it hasn't appeared. when i search for the item no., it is found, it hasn't been taken down; but when i search for any key words, even the exact title for the item, nothing is found. what is going on?

Google search: site:aspkin.com item doesn't appear in search
See how I did that? The magic of Google. It's awesome, I tell you.
;)

I have had it take up to 12 hours for some items to appear in the regular search.
My items either show up in 5 minutes or between 6-12 hours.
This is on my 1 year old PowerSeller account that is in wonderful standing.

after many days, 10 out of 13 items simply do not appear...

there have been problems with the ebay search engine, but they said they solved it on 22 nd ...

i usually sell 5 - 10 qty / day but now it's like 1 ...

Just because your items are not selling does not mean that they are not in the search.
You are aware of the mystical "Rolling Blackout" that eBay says does not exist on their site... Right?

well...if i search for the item no, it comes up - the counter shows pretty much no one has been on the page, they've been up for days


but if i search for any or all the keywords, nothing.


i pay the listing fees and it can't be searched for, how can they get away with it...

it could take days to come in keyword search

FYI, read the thread started by smile that states there has been a malfunction in the search engine at old ebay. Maybe the Op's items are affected?
