I listed several items this morning and one this afternoon. None are appearing when I search. They are showing in My Ebay Active Listings. Seems like a long delay.

Tried to access eBay early this evening and got the
'eBay is unavailable' message'.
Maybe they are having problems (more than usual).
This morning some of my Gallery pics were not showing up and after a few minutes they were back.
Tonight is also the weekly 'Let's see how we can mess more with the Sellers minds' night!!
There is always a delay from the time an item is first listed to when it's added to eBays search tools. Note also that eBay re-index's the listings each time a revision is made, and things like our little scrolling gallery displays or those maps showing where you have sold items before/etc are usually added right after items are posted. Adding things like that involves a revision and makes the listings go back through the index process, and items are not searchable when they having yet been indexed.
You will still see them in your 'view sellers other items' list during re-indexing but not during that initial indexing process when items are first posted.
