Hi Valory,
What type of item are you selling? Have you checked the banned list?
You will also need to remove your website link from your Me Page as this is not allowed.

Are you sure you actually started the listing and didn't just preview it or save it to your My Defaults area?

You need to have clicked on the Start Listing button to make the listing live.

Another possibility is that if you inadvertently listed it twice, it could have been zapped by the eBid bots; although from what I have read you would have been informed of that as you would an illegal listing.

hello folks i'm new to e-bids and am very confused? ....

The good thing is that 4 of your listings are now visible to USA buyers.

Google is your best friend when it comes down to attracting customers.

So your Titles Are Critical.

HOT! NWT,PINK HELLO KITTY,X-LARGE TOTE/BAG!SZ.13X20,PERFECT TO CARRY ANYWHERE!

Use good key words with spaces as necessary and leave out punctuation, exclamation marks, ete etc.

And avoid using all Capitals in titles, Google doesn't like it very much

Take this one for example:

NWT!LOT OF 2PAIRS WOMEN'S/JUNIOR'S DENIM LEGGINGS!SZ.XSMALL/J 1-9!!

Change it to:

NWT 2 pairs of Womens/Juniors denim Leggings. Size extra small/Junior Size 1-9

Some tips for you:

This is your Me Page:

REFUNDS ARE ACCEPTED UPON THE ITEM ARRIVING NOT AS DESCRIBED OR DEFECTIVE ,THNX FOR CHECKING HOLLYWOOD TRENDZ OUT AND BIDDING FROM ME VALORY77! ENJOY AND GOD BLESS FOLKS!

I find it very difficult to read this as it is all in capital letters, consider changing it to:

Hello folks. Welcome to ebid! A faster auction site than any other. I'm a stay at home mom of a 4 year old boy whom I love so much and is a gift from Jesus. I love Jesus as well.

I'm an online seller with my own store being hollywood trendz and I also sell here on eBid. I ship free except to Canada, I put my sellers experience first, have been selling online for a few years, so I'm old school.

I'm a complete hippy at heart and love to put others first. Take a look at my store as I sell most everything, but top stuff is clothing, accessories and jewelry. That's where my real passion is. I cater to all styles, sizes and people.

Refunds are accepted upon the item arriving not as described or defective. Thanks for checking out my store and bidding from me valory77. Enjoy and God bless folks!

You need to make sure to invite your customers to purchase from you here on eBid and not from your own website.

This is your first listing title:
NWT! AUTHENTIC COACH LEOPARD PRINT WRSTLET!GORGEOUS FOR ANYWHERE!SZ.5X7.5!

Google do not like all capital letters and/or exclamations, when your listing is uploaded to Google Shopping, eBid automatically changes your listings to lower case and it can look a bit odd at times, consider changing your titles as so:

Wristlet authentic Coach leopard print size 5inch x 7.5inch NWT

This is your description:

HEY FOLKS,UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS FABULOUS,NWT,GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC COACHOCELOT LEOPARD PRINT WRISTLET!!THIS IS PERFECT FOR ANY OCCASION WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO CARRY OR AHVE A NEED FOR YOUR LARGE TOTE BAGS/PURSES!

GRAB THIS FABULOUS WRISTLET,S.5 X 7.5 IN SIZE AS A GIFT IDEA OR FOR YOURSELF! #F49581,FREE SHIPPING ALSO!!!!!THNX FOR LOOKING AND GOD BLESS!

Again, I find it very difficult to read this as it is all in capital letters and italic, consider editing to make it look more like this:

Up for auction is this fabulous, NWT, guaranteed authentic Coach ocelot leopard print wristlet size 5 inch X 7.5 inch. This is perfect for any occasion when you don't want to carry or have a need for your large tote bags or purses. Accomodates credit cards, driver's licenses, passports, make-up touch-up's, etc.

Retails for $78.00/$69.99

Grab as a gift idea or for yourself.
FREE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Thanks for looking and God Bless!

For me, the edits look much more professional and makes me believe you are a serious and thoughtful seller. Hope these tips help

One other suggestion: personally I would lose the abbreviations, as if people do not know what they mean they could be alienated and go else where (to someone else who spells out exactly what is on offer).

NWT - does mean new with tags or not want trade? I suspect it is the first but if someone does not know it is totally unhelpful.

SZ - I presume that is size abbreviated but again it is not clear.

Lose the superlatives in the title keep it factual and use them in the description if you need to.

I am not trying to put you down with this just explaining it from my perspective.

Good Luck.
