I put an item up for sale on ebay, but its not showing up in the listing. In my ebay it says it is selling, but i cant find it in the listing. Is this normal or is something messed up?

24 hours maximum for recent listings to show up in a search. Dont worry about it...

Ok this is a joke. Ebay has suspended my account for no apparent reason. ANd they wont respond to my emails when i asked them why, all i get is automated responses.

Can i make a new account, or will it not let me since my name is in their system already?

I put some stuff up on ebay too, and I couldnt find it when I searched for it. It just takes a few minutes.

You must have done something, or your account was hacked. They dont just suspend your account.... I have had mine hacked a couple times.

How would someone do that? And what did you do about it?

The first time I was just checking my eBay because I had just had some auctions end, and there were 5 new auctions selling Apple G5 computers... I reported it to eBay and they suspended my account for quite a while, couple months at least. After that it was cool for a while, but they said someone had gotten into my account again, but didnt do anything; they just knew someone else had logged in. No problems thus far though...

What automated responses are you getting? Whenever you send a message to eBay you automatically get an email saying that your question will be answered within 24 hours, or something like that, is this the response you get?

I was sent an email notifying me of the suspension of my account. I then replied to it asking for someone to explain what made them suspend it, and recieved a response that contained all the rules, etc. That didnt tell me what i needed to know, so i responded through the alert that was sent through my ebay, with no response as of yet.

What exactly were you trying to sell? If someone reported it for a listing violation of some kind that might have causedan account suspension....

I've been an eBay member since Feb/03 without any problems.....weird.

I believe you are not supposed to respond to a suspension notice. Try sending them a message the normal way, not by replying to anything, but just create a new message and see what kind of luck you get.
