2 hours after submitting 20+ listings, still not showing up in searches...

I really don't understand how ebay rationalizes this. If I am paying their ridiculous (and likely increasing as I type) fees, then how is it okay to withhold my items from being seen by potential customers for more than 2 hours?
They show in "my ebay" as "active" and the clock has been ticking on them since they were submitted. There should be a prorated refund for the amount of time that's been taken multiplied by the amount of items it's affected.

Just started appearing about an hour ago, albeit with three hours missing.

I understand your position. But consider the following:
If a 1 day auction, then 21 out of 24 hours = 87.5% of potential viewable time;
If a 3 day auction, then 69 out of 72 hours = 95.8% of potential viewable time;
If a 7 day auction, then 165 out of 168 hours = 98.2% of potential viewable time; and
If a 10 day auction, then 237 out of 240 hours = 98.8% of potential viewable time.
Yes, you should get what you pay for, e.g., 100% of potential viewable time. On the other hand, like what Cards4Charity said, I don't think those missing three (3) hours will affect the final sale price.

Perfect. So I stand by my wanting 12.5% of my fees back for those listings.
The important thing to me is that if I am (as a low-end seller) going to be paying $0.35+ to list, plus FVFs on 20+ items that I've priced with buy-it-now's to move quickly, I should at the very least get the full 3 days from the point that ebay decides to have the items show in searches.
Petty? Maybe. But with ebay constantly making it harder for the seller, I expect to receive what I am paying for.

I remember back in the 1998 - 2000 time frame this was going on.
