SOME LISTED ITEMS DO NOT SHOW UP IN SEARCHES

[ambros_51]

i have  listed  some items  and  when i type  in the search bar  using the keyword  of  the  item  all kinds  show  up  with the  same keyword  except my items , what gives !

When I typed in output transformer eBay automatically defaulted the category to Vintage Transformers.  Yours is under vintage tubes so it wouldn't be seen under the eBay default category.  I don't know which category makes more 'sense' but they are showing one specific category with  those search words, you might want to change the category on yours

EBay tells us that it can take up to 24 hours for a new listing to 'index' and become visible.

If the seller is new or occasional or if the item is high value/high fraud, it can take every second of that time.

It has been my observation (and anecdote is not data) that if I repeat the same Search several times that I see different items.  Maybe (WAG, here) maybe the algorithm is set to drop items that were not Viewed or Watched (or bought) on previous Searches. Maybe.
