E-Bay Related Question

Brandman316 · 05-11-2006, 08:33 PM

Hey guys, I just posted something on EBay for sale and am wondering how long it takes for it to show up on the search results and can be seen by other. I put my add up about and hour and a half ago and it still is not showing up in any search results. Should I be worried or does it usually take this long?

MattJ · 05-11-2006, 08:34 PM

It goes up immeditaly for me. Sign in and goto "my ebay" and look for your selling items. it should be listed there if its up. if not, it might not of went up for whatever reason.

Brandman316 · 05-11-2006, 08:36 PM

See thats the thing, under My Ebay it shows it as active and gives me how long the auction will last for, but I cant find it when i go to the Ebay website and search for it.

MattJ · 05-11-2006, 08:38 PM

mabye servers are busy...

id say check back tomarrow morning and if its not up, then its probably not going to be up.

what are you selling? give me a title to search for and be specific.

Brandman316 · 05-11-2006, 08:42 PM

I am selling my stock anthracite rims/ with my tires. The exact title of my ad is

4 Anthracite 17" Mustang Gt Bullit Rims and Tires

Ive search Anthracite, bullit, Mustang Gt rims... everything and nothing is showing up.

Thanks for the help.

dsg_gt2004 · 05-11-2006, 08:51 PM

i think it usually takes a day..i dunno though man

i searched for your ad and didnt see it(saw a set from NC, but not from FL)

MattJ · 05-11-2006, 08:52 PM

not showing up for me either.

Brandman316 · 05-11-2006, 08:54 PM

Damn.. alright ill check back with it tomorrow morning. Im assuming if it is not up by then, then something is def. wrong.

mcmmotorsports · 05-12-2006, 03:59 AM

Yes, it takes a few hours for it to show when you search for it. eBay even says this once you submit your listing.

whitethunder46 · 05-12-2006, 04:10 AM

yea I had that problem when listing my old head unit. Just be patient

Brandman316 · 05-12-2006, 08:18 AM

Ok so i just checked ebay and my listing is still not up?? Does it take THIS long??? I entered my ad last night at 9 p.m. and it still isn't up. Would it really take longer than 14 hours for them to post my ad?? I can see if it took a few hours, but 14 hours and still nothing up?? Im starting to think there is a problem.

FritoBandito · 05-12-2006, 10:05 AM

go into you listing on myebay, and check the hit counter. If you aren't getting any lookers, it aint on there.

Brandman316 · 05-12-2006, 10:09 AM

Counter says 2 people, and has said that when I first put it up. Im assuming the two people are myself from my comp and when i tried to find it from my other comp.

Rabbit · 05-12-2006, 10:28 AM

You might want to email eBay and ask them about it. Include your item number and take a vacation or something, they aren't that quick to respond.

mcmmotorsports · 05-12-2006, 10:44 AM

Not to question you or anything, but I looked at your username on eBay Brandman316 and it shows NO items for sale. Did you remember to submit the item listing? It should show if I search via your username.

What is the item #?

Brandman316 · 05-12-2006, 10:52 AM

Item number: 300000013893

I sent Ebay an email questioning this. Even when I put "bullit" in when I search it doesn't show up..... What is going on??!!

Rabbit · 05-12-2006, 10:56 AM

That number seems awfully high. Items listed only a couple of hours ago are item #160000190712????

Rabbit · 05-12-2006, 10:57 AM

Nevermind, your item is listed now.

FritoBandito · 05-12-2006, 11:29 AM

Rabbit beat me to the post.......:wallbash:

You titled it "17 Inch Bullit Rims and Tires for Mustang GT

Brandman316 · 05-12-2006, 11:45 AM

Good... what did u guys search

Rabbit · 05-12-2006, 12:00 PM

I didn't find it just searching for: "Bullit Rims" "17 Inch Bullit" or anything, only way I found it was searching the item number.

Brandman316 · 05-12-2006, 12:03 PM

See thats what Im scared about. Why is it that when I put in Bullit, Anthracite, GT Rims, my ad doesn't come up. Ive changed the title a couple of times and that hasn't helped. It seems like my ad is up but is not getting any hits cause it isn't in any search results.

Your title is: "17 Inch Bullit Rims and Tires for Mustang GT"

I have to include ONLY the words you have listed in my search. Example: If I searh for Mustang Bullit rims or 17 inch rims your search will show up.

If I include some other word in my search that is NOT listed in your title, your auction will not show up. EX: 17 inch anthracite rims.... your auction will NOT show up. Or If I typed in Cobra bullit rims.

My suggestion is take out the word for and add Cobra, Saleen. Use as many words/letters as possible.

My suggestion: Cobra, Mustang GT, Saleen 17 anthracite inch bullit rims tires.

This will greatly widen your hits on ur counter. I've only listed a few auctions but have had great great success with it. Sold my old projector headlights used for 195 bux BEFORE shipping (bought them for 200 with shipping) and sold my old head unit for 180 before shipping (bought for 220 w/ shipping)

Hoped this helps!

Brandman316 · 05-12-2006, 02:27 PM

I have a bid on it now so I dont think I can change the title. I tried but the edit link isn't showing up. Anyway after I sent an email to ebay i could find it in the search results so everything seems to be working right! Thanks for the help.
