Reply to "How long does a new listing take to show up?"

Hi Joan - When you click POST, the listing should show up immediately on your "my ebay" page. You should be able to view the listing by either clicking the link there, or searching by item number.

There is a delay however before it will show up in search results (so others can see it using search terms) because it has to be indexed by ebay's servers. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to hours. ebay says "normal" time for this can often be 12 to 24 hours. I have heard horror stories of days to never. Personally I've experienced wait times of 10 minutes to 5 hours. These long delays have been a source of frustration to many sellers for a long time now.
