Most people won't pay that much for a used jacket, no matter how used. If you want to make that much cash though, I suggest more, bigger and better pictures of the jacket.

it usually takes stuff like 1/2 hr to load ont the server. and i dont think ull get that much for it. USUALLY if u start it pretty low, more ppl will start bidding on it and will get up to or exceed the amount u r expecting to get for it

Exactly, I forgot to mention that. From experience, starting out at $1 with a reserve or no reserve is much better.

Ooooh man sorry I didn't see your original question.

Yah man I've sold sooo many things on ebay, and it defnitely takes more than one hour to have your item show up when you search like that. Give it a couple more hours.

it can take quite a long time for it to load up and people to see it. I rememeber the 1st time I sold something on ebay and it didn't show up right away I was so pissed and didn't know what the hell was going on. Give it a few hours

If I were you I would start it alot lower. Just because you start it low doesnt mean thats where itll end, and youll have a whole lot more people interested. I would also upload a better pic of it that you took yourself. As far as the search goes it worked fine for me..If you need more specific help on how to upload a better pic, etc feel free to pm me...

and yes, you need actual pictures and much bigger ones for people to spend that kind of $$ on a jacket. It's worth the extra .50 to put more than 1 pic
