I have a pushchair on ebay. It was bought BIN first but ive had to relist it. But nw it isnt showing up in the search.
When i type 'stokke xplory' in there are only 3 items coming up, and none of them are mines

Any idea?

It sometimes takes hours for it show up, how long ago did you list it?

jimblejambles · 28/08/2008 12:37

Have you only just listed it?

Sometimes it can take a couple of hours for them to appear in the listings.

missjennipenni · 28/08/2008 12:38

Its not showing up on Fat Fingers either, so its not because of a spelling mistake

LazyLinePainterJane · 28/08/2008 12:40

hollyandnoah · 28/08/2008 12:41

is it listed under pushchairs specifically? in baby catogory or is it listed in another catogory? you can have a look by going to your listing and looking at top of page what catogory it is under

hollyandnoah · 28/08/2008 17:02

Listed in category: Baby > Pushchairs & Prams > Pushchairs & Prams

That's what it says up top. Strange thing is, someone just bidded on it. and i have 14 watchers...

mumsnetters maybe?

bubblagirl · 28/08/2008 17:02

are you sure it confirmed listing when re listing it maybe it didnt confirm it and there for not listed

what does it say on the my e bay selling or sold maybe that was last listing look in my seeling and see whats in there it will have l;ist of what has been sold etc and maybe hasnt relisted for whatever reason

bubblagirl · 28/08/2008 17:03

oh right was going to ask if that is the actual listing i'll see if i can find it

bubblagirl · 28/08/2008 17:15

the only thing i can see is the catogory seems to be baby pushchair and prams and then pushchair and prams again double catogorised under same thing there is only 1 pushchair and prams catogory and it says 2 up there not sure if that has relevance or not but i cant find it either but obviously some people have

bubblagirl · 28/08/2008 17:20

hollyandnoah · 28/08/2008 17:21

hollyandnoah · 28/08/2008 17:40
