Does anyone know why an auction wouldn't appear on a search page.

My dad is trying to sell his old Volvo 740GL. You can search for it by item number 180311588584 but if you search by "Volvo 740" it doesn't find it. At all.

Even if you go to

cars>volvos it's not there

Ebay have still taken the £25 of course....

Why the hell would that happen?

sometimes it can take a couple of hours to show on a search, give it time it will come up!

Aha! That's be why then. Cheers I was getting worried!!!!

Yup, often happens with cars, you will know when its on because the counter will start to go up.

... And the stupid questions will start rolling in!

it's there now.

Yey! thanks everyone. For once I got a "you know about computers and stuff, how the hell has this happened" type e-mail and couldn't answer (till I posted here anyway!!!!).....

Right - now lets all go there & ask daft questions!

Its easy to find if you search 'volvo 740 estate' but not there if you just put in 'volvo 740'

Strange but true...
