My items don't show in searches - what can I do?
Dec 8, 2012 04:53 AM

I listed 10 postcards 1-2 days ago and they don't appear in searches. I know that it takes some time for items to be indexed... but aren't 2 days more than enough for that? Thanks.

All 10 are properly indexed and searchable, and appear in searches.

How are you searching that you can't find them?

I see them, too. For instance, your Venice card shows up when I search on 

 

postcard venice probably

 

Perhaps the problem is due to your location. The listing says that you ship worldwide, but there might be complications when a buyer in Croatia is searching on the US site?

User location doesn't matter. Listings aren't hidden from any User.

Thanks to all.

I am glad that you are able to find them, but it still doesn't show to me.

Of course, I can see them in My eBay, and when I click on my profile too, but when I put e.g. "venice snow" or any other key word into search, nothing appears. Well, it's not a big deal after all - it's important that buyers can see them.
