    Just posted a new auction on eBay, didn't show for 6 hours! I asked eBay about this...they state it takes up to 6 hours for the auction to get indexed.

    WARNING: IF YOU POST A 1 DAY AUCTION - YOU LOSE 6 HOURS

    eBay has to index millions of products on an hourly basis, so it's understandable in a way. Doesn't mean acceptable. From my past experience, eBay didn't take that long in the past. It was more like minutes. Maybe they are trying to cut cost!

    LOL...The responses here are AMAZING! 90% of the people that buy traffic from our company freak out if the cPanel has not been received in 15 minutes. But, if eBay, which is already raping you in fee's, SCREWS you out of 25% of your listing time, no biggie.

    At least they should START THE CLOCK when the item is actually listed.

    ebay is having lots of problems with its search results. They tried a new 'top matches' that wasn't very good. I think they know they have a problem.

    You mean give it a rest? All I did was post a warning for those that didn't know. Stock Market Sherpa is stupid. All those questions are basic you can google answers to, or just ask anyone at a brokerage company...for free

    Post a simple warning and it really brings out rude people. Last time I checked, these forums were made to talk about things right? If I'd known that trying to warn others would cause morons to come out, I would have saved my time and trouble.

    We have over 300 clients that use our traffic daily. We also operate a company with gross sales over $300k a month. You?

    "A simple warning"

    Okay, thanks. I feel better now.

    That 6 hours was a real killer, huh?


    Wow, over $300,000 a month, huh? Name the "company," dipshit.

    You're just a moron who can't wait 6 hours, so you pout by starting a lame thread so others can hear your whining over nothing.
