Listed items do not show up in searches

[van-tt]

So I listed a few items on eBay.ca. its my first time on here and now when I try to search them in the ebay search bar and narrow it down with filters, I can't find them.

I have waited more than 24 hours. I’m selling from Canada on eBay.ca without shipping to US. It seems that I have no item for sale!

Thanks in advance

I searched under your ID  and saw two listings for a pair of shoes and for vitamins.

So there are some listings.

The algorithms do give a tiny boost to new sellers and to new listings but you also have a LOT of competition and recent sales are one criterion, which as a newbie, you don't have.

With FREE SHIPPING?

Eeek!

Have you signed up for a Solutions for Small Business number? Do that now!

And have you seen the cost of shipping in Canada?

Anything that has to go by parcel rate is going to be expensive. Starting at $10 locally and soaring after that.

I'm not saying that Free Shipping is bad, I use it myself including for US sales, but I also am able to use LetterMail (and have  an endless supply of discount postage for reasons).

But it can eat into your profits.

Remember that Free Shipping means that the cost of shipping is included in the asking price.

Which is cheaper? A $40 pair of shoes with $20 shipping ? A $60 pair with Free Shipping?

And there is no correct answer.

I searched for your Reekboks and they came up but the multivitamins didn't.  You've revised that listing 4 times since you listed it and each time it is revised it has to be indexed again so that could why it isn't coming up right now.

You should buy a couple of items on ebay to try to see how things work and to get a little bit of feedback.
