I am a new seller, my item does not show in search

First of all, I wish my heartfelt wishes and regards to the esteemed sellers.

I have started listing in textbook category in used international export permitted books.

When I cross check in google or from other browsers ebay.com I don't find my item.

In shipping category it says ask the seller to calculate shipping price for my item.

Frankly speaking, I am confused about shipping options for used books maximum 700gm (one book)  to 3.5 kg (5 books.)

I have excluded Asia for shipping destinations.

Can anybody benevolently help me out of this situation ?

 

Thanks and regards

    This situation is quite normal, so there is no need to worry.

    If you are checking from Asia (including your own location), your item will not appear because you have excluded Asia from your shipping destinations. Also, new listings usually take some time to appear on Google and in search results.

    Regarding shipping, “ask the seller to calculate shipping price” means that no fixed international shipping rate has been added yet. For used books, you should select either calculated shipping or eBay International Shipping and enter the correct weight of the book(s).

    You can set shipping according to weight slabs (for example, up to 700 grams for one book and up to 3.5 kg for multiple books) based on your courier or postal service rates.

    Once shipping is properly set and some time has passed, your listings should work fine.

    Hope this clarifies your confusion.
    Best regards
