Listed items not showing up in search - new to gun broker...

in General Discussion
I just started selling on Gun Broker and I noticed that my listings are not showing up on search.    My current listing # 873903766 is for a case of 12 gauge shotgun shells.  When I created the listing, I made sure and selected the shotgun shell category then the 12 gauge option.  When I try to search for my item using the shotgun shell - 12 guage - ending soonest, my listing does not show up.  The only way I can see my listing in search is my searching for the brand - Fiocchi.  Am I doing something wrong.  I am new to gun broker but have sold on ebay for a long time and never had this issue there.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    I just did a search using Fiocchi 2 3/4 12 gauge and found it easily (second listing):

    It shows up for me just looking at 12 ga ammo. You just have to go past 2 whole pages of featured listings.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    We're not supposed to be involved in auction support issues in these forums, but you seem like a nice fellow and you are polite- guys who come in with attitudes are run out fast. Are you doing your search with a laptop or desktop? or are you using a "mobile device" AKA a phone?  There are endless auction issues involving phones.

    Mark, I'm sure the issue is the featured listings. There are almost two whole pages of featured listing 12 ga ammo. At the moment, his listing is atop page 3 because there are that many ahead of his in the time order, once you get past the time ordered featured listings.

    Thanks for the responses - here are some screenshots to show were my listing is not showing up.  This is the search process I usually use to find items to purchase.
    1.  select shotgun shells

    Step 3, scroll past all those listings with the blue star in the corner.

    Thanks.  I thought this might be it but was not sure.

    Everyone's search method is different, but yours is one I never use. I always begin in Browse Categories, which is how I found your listing.

    Thanks again everyone.  So basically all the "featured listings" are put ahead of the standard listings.  Featured listings are posted in order first then the non-featured by my search method.

    yes, and I would imagine if you want yours among those, you can pay the extra fee to get that blue star (white star in a blue field... whatever).

    There was a day long long ago I could type in 37 Winchester, one shot, and get all the 37 Winchesters and any related parts without all the other garbage. Easy peasy It ain't going to happen now.
