Some listings are not showing up in Search. They do appear if you check "my ebay", "Search by Item Number" or "Text only Format". They do NOT appear in "Search by Title" or "Search by Seller". See "Technical Issues" in the ebay Discussion boards for more information. Two threads are running - "Yes, now I have had three auctions disappear", and "Listed Items Not Showing Up". You can't sell your items if no one knows they are there. Ebay posted a System Announcement on May 11 that ..."All issues related to searching by title and description have been resolved." Not true as this is still a huge problem. And there is no new ebay System Announcement addressing this issue as of this morning.

I had that same problem a few weeks ago. Went in to Ebay's chat board and so did about 20 others.
I wrote to Ebay already knowing what the answer would be, but I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.
They wrote back after 3 days and said it sometimes takes 6 hours to show up in Search. They didn't tell me how many hours it takes the item to show itself again after disappearing the first time.
