Newbie Ebay Question... my listing doesn't show up in the search!

[Phokus]

Err, wtf? Ok so i listed an ebay item and when i go to search for the model number (which i included in the title), it doesn't appear. This is my very first ebay sale...

Anyone know whats up with that?

If you just listed the item then you probbaly wont see it. Sometimes it can take a while (24hrs maybe) for your listing to actually be displayed.

Dude don't worry. It will show. What's the length of your auction?

6 hours? Wow that sucks!

If your auction is 5 days you will be fine man. For real. In the first few hours, you wouldn't get too many views anyway. You'll get the brunt of your views and watchers when there is less than 24 hours left in the auction.

That's been my experience so far. Good luck.
