Why can't I find the item I'm selling when I search for it on ebay?

[franch]

This is the item - if I do a search for, say, 'Rothan', or 'kids bike', my item doesn't come up. Why?

It takes them a few days to list it in different searches.

A few days? Really? But I listed the item 2 days ago and there are only 3 days left on the auction - how are any buyers going to find it in time??

Even if I look for it by browsing - ie going into the 'bikes' category then selecting 'unisex kids bikes' etc - it doesn't appear ...

also, if you go to your ebay page, you are showing as having no active listings!

This is weird!

Ah - you were right hercules! It comes up in searches and on my page now. Got 23 watchers so people seem to have found it ok. Phew. Thanks herc & JB
