There have been a few posts recently regarding ending listings on the US board. Both by eBay and by sellers.
For the eBay variation because because the listing does not show in ended listings there is no SKU info available if seller uses for placing the item so they can remove from inventory. For seller ended it should go into your inactive folder.
Today went to end a listing and search took multiple tries with random results in locating or not being able to locating. Attach is one discussion I was able to track down. (There were other reports.)
Play close attention if this situation happens to you.
In testing just now by ending a particular listing it is not "currently" showing in my inactive listings. UNLESS there is some kind of major lag for this to process.
Token disclaimer: As per always and most things eBay your results "may vary".
