eBay is kinda slimy.....they take a big cut on sales and charge a lot for listings. Its not the eBay it was when I joined 10 years ago. I feel old saying that.

They're saving money on having real-time capable systems by using less systems at higher load, so it goes through and "re-indexes" every couple hours. The listing is generated right away, but you won't see it until the servers re-generate the listing pages and search index.
