Why is my item taking so long to appear?

A couple of days ago, I listed a pair of World War 2 German CAG binoculars. When I clicked submit, there was no problem, no flag warning and the page stated that 'your item is active'. Great, The problem is that the bins are not appearing either in the category for militaria>Field Gear (category I chose). If I go into my overview page they are there but if I go onto the page that buyers would see if they look at my items, it isn't there. I know that some things can go in to a vetting queue but the strange thing is I told a friend this morning and he did an experiment and listed exactly the same item, word for word, as me. He submitted the listing and within minutes, the item was visible along with lots of other similar listings from sellers under the same category. Why isn't my listing showing when his identical listing was visible within minutes. As soon as his listing was visible, he cancelled the listing. Can anyone help here please?

Do you have a listing number? 

I can't find the listing either. You haven't set it to list on another day have you? If not cancel it and list again.

No, it doesn't appear to be listed. Get a call back from CS. They cut you off at 10pm. Or just relist.

I can see it at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256893619486

 

However, if I look at all your items, it's not in the list, and if I search for "CAG SWAROVSKI 6X30 DIENSTGLAS", it's not included in the results.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I cancelled the listing earlier and relisted and changed the category but the same thing has happened. I've now cancelled that listing and won't be relisting the item.

That's weird. If you feel like trying again at some point. Click on one of the others for sale and click the sell one like this option and see if it works that way. 

Love that celery vase by the way. Not sure i need one but I do love celery...

Apparently when listing military items, it can take up to 24 hours for them to show. On another thread it says the items have to be indexed first, approved…

That can happen whatever you list.

Yes but specifically military. I have never had a doll take 24 hours to appear
