Once you have an item number, you can use it to search eBay's website for that specific item. It can be done anywhere the main search bar is visible, or by going to 'Advanced search' and choosing the option 'Sort by item number'.

To find it, search using keywords in your listing, and apply filters to narrow your results. If you can't find your listing after 24 hours, go to Selling - opens in new window or tab and check whether it's active, in draft, or has any other status. The listing needs to be active to be pulled into our search results.
