LOL Ralphie , took me a minute to figure out what the heck you were talking about and how you knew about my secret life.
This auction was listed under my DH id, may favorite back-up snipe id.
Ain't it amazing the deals you can find when people can't spell?
ps, don't need no dead cats for my glass viles. I'm using them to bottle other types of bodily fluids

Well, at least they are consistant. almost 9 hours again!
In the mean time, 5 auctions in the same category were searchable within 1 hour of their launch time. I must have seriously pizzd off the ebay queen last week with my comment about her Spamming the community.
And btw Sparkz, those 5 auctions were launched by individuals such as myself. They were not dealers.

Ltray...Since the others launched auctions for junk, Ebay didn't spend time with them and got them going immediately. However, since your auctions are for quality merchandise, they need time to pass copies of the listing around to all the Ebay employees in San Jose and Utah to give them an inside track in case any of them are interested in buying your items. The VIP preview process takes about 9 hours.

Sparky probably had the right idea. The auction had over 1100 hits in the first 24 hours. Or make that 15 hours since it took 9 hours to get indexed into the search. I think all those wanna-be-Jimmy-Buffets in CA had to check it out before it made it to the main search. Then bright and early Sunday morning they pulled the auction because they knew between the lot of them that they could not afford to have it shipped to CA. Skwr the panty-wad that did not like my title.
I listed it the second time Sunday morning with the new improved, politically correct title and it was finally re-indexed at MIDNIGHT (thank you ebay!), the midnight shift is obvious sleeping off their margaritas because we've only had 100 hits in the last 7 hours.
I hope the pissy ole cuss who reported it gets fleas in their bloomers along with a good case of athlete's feet and dandruff. It will give them something to do besides ruin a perfectly good auction. My original title didn't say anything that wasn't true. I'd like to wrap Cheryl's shiny gold collar around their necks and beat 'em with a wooden spoon. Better yet, beat'em with a wooden boat oar and then toss 'em over board to the sharks.
