ebay searches?

i hope i'm posting this in the right place...
when listing an item on ebay, how long should it take for your item to show up in the searches? i'm thinking 7 hours is quite a long time...no?

HI don't worry. It's perfectly normal for it not to appear until the next day. I emailed ebay once about this and they came back to say that it should be within 24 hours so just keep on checking.

thanks so much! i was getting really freaked out because after all the fees you have to pay, it's awful if it never shows up in searches. i seriously applaud all of those ebay savvy people out there... i find it to be such a nightmare

Lots of complaints lately about listings taking longer and longer to come up. I've been extremeley lucky. I listed a bunch of books and they all showed up within 3 or so hours. Maybe it's the time of day you do it. I list books mid afternoon usually for stay at home Mom's to bid on them. Purses I list between 9pm-12m. Seems like it always takes longer then to show up.

whew! it finally popped up. it was a bag that i listed at around 4pm. i recall another bag i listed a year or two ago and it was up in the searches within 2 hours! this time it took about 7-8 hours!

I heard that high-end stuff like LV, Chanel, takes a long time to show up.

hope you get a good sale after all the waiting

I agree, it seems to take much longer for listings to show up these days.
