my car was due to finish in about 3 hours after returning from town its no longer listed.
no email from ebay or anything anyone got any ideas why its dissapeared

Did you refer to a non related manufacturer in your advert? ie "Like a Lotus " or something like that. If you did then they tend to remove such adds as they may infringe copyright. But they usualy notify you.

they only remove it if someone reports it, which is VERY annoying indeed, since the ads usually says 'not wesfield' or 'similar to caterham'. Both of which are entirely true, but ebay are too thick to know...

Yep i had the same problem when i sold my Dutton , there for 6 days one day to go and ebay removed it without telling me , if the word (NOT) is in the item title then they remove it and class it as spaming.

Same thing happened with my Indy because I said something along the lines of 'similar to Caterham and Westfield', as you say bloody annoying! I did at least get an email about it though...
