Item listed and gone missing?

I listed 3 records last night, all new listings, but only 2 of them have appeared in my listings. I can't find the 3rd one anywhere but it's not shown as unlisted or scheduled or as a draft. To make things more confusing if I type in the title of the record - The Finest - it comes up as listed last night at the correct time of 7:59 pm but it's not there. i've not come across this situation before and wondered if anyone had and could perhaps advise me what to do.

 

Many thanks.

Did you by any chance go back and revise the listing in any way?

That can lead to a delay.

The most likely explanation is that is is simply 'in a queue' to go live on the site.  It can take 24 hours (or more) for listings to be visible.

As soon as you list, you are told your listing is live but not all items listed together appear at the same time.

For now, do nothing.

Check again tomorrow morning and your missing listing will probably be there.

Is shows up when I look at your active listings - the third on the list when I order it by "newest first".

This has been occurring for a few days now (maybe since Friday?).  It is affecting both Desktop (Chrome) and Mobile phone app (Iphone) for me

 

The listings are visible in the eBay search function but not in sellers "active listings page".  It shows the correct number of listings in the overview page (on desktop) - but when you click directly on the active listings page they are missing.

 

They do slowly repopulate but does take a day - one listing is now coming up to second day not showing

Thanks for that information. I hadn't realised that there were queues sometimes as this has never happened to me before. I did in fact make a deliberate minor punctuation change to the listing this morning and relisted it in the hope that it might then appear but so far no luck. I will do as you suggest and give it 24 hours and if it's still not appeared I suppose I'll have to try to end the listing if I can and the start again from scratch. I hope it doesn't come to that.
Cheers.
