Listed but Not Search-able

happy942 · Jul 23rd, 2008, 01:40 AM

So, I listed an LV bag earlier today. I got a confirmation email from eBay with the listing number, etc. and I am able to click on the link to take me to the listing. This thing is, my listing does not show up in any keyword searches (including on the actual eBay site and through the Mozilla Firefox eBay search toolbar). It does, however, show up if I search the listing number.

Also, I tried to revise my search and I got the restriction error message, but I can still see the original listing.

What's going on here? I appreciate any input!

I asked the same question last week :)

Rest assured-- I was worried too:
This was my thread: Listed purse not searchable on eBay

Many helpful tPF members chimed in and let me know that sometimes it takes several hours for eBay to index the listing, especially for brand name handbags.

it can take 24 hours to show on a search, as for revising, if you're getting the message, you won't be able to revise but the original listing will stil run
its a joke

Thanks girls. I see that it's coming up now, but it's frustrating that I can't revise it anymore.
