I am new to ebay and am trying to sell an item on there. I have finished my ad with photos, etc., as 'buy it now' and set a time for the ad to start, but can't find a submit button for it to appear? Sorry if this sounds a bit dim, but as I say, I'm new to ebay. TIA.

Normally you would'nt set a time for the listing to start, so maybe thats the problem. Go back and undo the timer thing and see if that works. You usually get a 'preview' button or a 'list now' button, although its years since I've sold anything on ebay so this may have changed.

I stopped selling on ebay years ago - it's a nightmare for occasional sellers.

have you specified paypal as a payment option?

If you have scheduled a time in the future you wont see it until it goes live, but it will be saved in 'drafts' if you think you have lost it.

Thank you all - your answers weren't on there when I requested for it to be deleted! My Granddaughter came down and said to switch off the start time, then it worked! So, thank you Auntypoll for saying in the same! 😏

barry1010 - ok thank you, may as well keep it on here then! (My brother's name is Barry too, just saying!). 😖  

Glad you're sorted - you could award AuntyPoll 'best answer' by ticking the box in her post, if you wanted to

Are you my brother?  😲  Or maybe my sister?

Was just going to say the same thing as I sell a lot on EBay, but glad you got it sorted in the end Smudge : )

barry10101 - Thank you for suggesting that! I have just 'ticked' Auntypoll for the best answer! Btw, I'll be your sister! 😏

Smowball - thank you, it was a bit of a trial to say the least, trying to post my add, but I got there in the end! 

Thanks again all.  

Good luck with your first sale, Sis
