eBay help!

I just listed my first items on ebay and I think I messed up. The items are up but when I search for them they don't come up and when I'm on my seller profile the don't show up either. Please help!

I listed them three hours ago and I didn't put a delayed start time on any of them.

 

If they are up, they have to be on your sellers page. And that happens within seconds. Unless you give us something to go on, no one can help you - eBay name, item you listed, or something.

 

They might have sold. One time when I started listing coins (before I knew anything), i listed 3 Morgans for auction. I put a buy it now price for 45 and someone bought it within minutes. I couldn't believe it. But now that I know what I know, it's understandable. Silver was 35-40 an ozt. And two of them were at least xf, problem free. What a deal. If you listed it correctly, this is my guess. It's pretty easy to list now, but it's always better to have a veteran right there with you when questions arise

 

First things first. What is your Seller name, and what are the coins?

 

Check your "sold" page. If any of them were Buy It Now listings, and were good deals, someone may have already bought them. Also check email, I always have an email tab open throughout the day when selling, as ebay will send emails for sold listings and payments.

Other than this, not much I can say. We don't have any information to go off of.

 

Seller name is sullysullinburg also I don't think they sold because when I'm signed in I can see them on my dashboard.

 

Sorry to say, something went wrong. Don't know when you like to end auctions, my preference is Sunday night about 10 p.m. You have plenty of time to get 5-day auctions up, on Tuesday night, to end Sunday, April 26.

Yeah I know that I just need to know how to fix it.
Here's a photo of the items.

 

Call ebay. We cant fix it.

 

Their not open till 8 and I have school.

 

Call after school.

 

Just list the items again, 5-day auctions, with consideration of when you want the auctions to end. That's the only answer. I've had auctions fail to list, maybe a dozen in ten years. Move on.

Down the line, if you find you have two of each listing, you can delete one set very easily.

Did you list them with your phone? Try listing them with a connected desktop. I would guess that one little stutter in the wireless signal and the whole thing's

 

Do not relist the items. If you are new to selling on eBay, with a new (or new-ish) account, eBay will vet the items before they will appear in search results. This can take 12-24 hours.
Using the 'edit' function or removing and relisting them only lengthens the process.
Just leave it alone. They will appear eventually.

 

Thanks for the help guys. 4 out of the 6 are up and the other ones will probably come up soon!

 

It might have been (and still be) a good idea to get at least a few buying feedback under your belt before trying to sell. Even with the buyer protection policies in place, it is possible that some interested parties may balk at bidding because of your lack of even a minimal history. Not that a few meaningless positives should make a difference, but it wouldn't hurt. I know you are in this with the hopes of making some money, so you're not going to want to give anyone a reason to avoid your listings, and unfortunately, having zero feedback can do just that.

 

Good advice. Maybe buy some shipping supplies, etc.

 

Okay, Sully... there's something else you might want (ahem, NEED) to do now while just starting out. Again, I fully understand and respect that you're only looking for the profit here, but you need set personal boundaries as to what is and is not acceptable to you. Ask yourself if you really want to be viewed as being no different from the schmoes who sell salted rolls, crack dreck (problem coins) to sell raw as problem free, offer worthlessly doubled or damaged coins as rare and valuable errors/varieties, fakes as genuine, etc, etc (I'm sure you get the idea), or if you'd prefer to be held, even if only by yourself, to a higher standard. A good reputation is not easy to get while a bad one can be earned at the snap of a finger. Cutting corners now to make a few extra bucks isn't worth it in the long run if you actually care about this hobby.

Now please understand I am not saying this to be mean, but "1000 wheat cents in a 1960's Ball jar" that have NOT been searched for "errors or key dates"? These wouldn't happen to be the same coins you recently wrote of in another thread, would they? I could be wrong, of course, but I'm having ahard time buying that you just purchased the coins this way (in the jar) and didn't bother looking through it, especially considering your stated desire to "flip" them. Could it be that they were placed into this, ahem, old jar, along with the unsearched claims, as a way to hopefully put more money into your pocket? If so, now is the time to make your decision. If you want to be that type of seller, well, you'll be in not so good company, but is your choice. I just wouldn't expect a lot of future help from the board. However, if you don't want to be viewed in a negative light, perhaps you should reconsider the listing any any like it down the road. You're new, so no one is going to think bad of you over a mistake made now as long as you care enough about your rep to correct it.

Either way, good luck to you.

 

And as a side issue, wait until you try to ship a glass jar containing pounds of pennies (even for $14 postage, which is a deal-killer) without the glass breaking, and what you DO, and how you refund, if it does break.
