What is going on?

Unread post by Rhothgar »

Don't know if anyone has noticed but there is only 1 Xantia for sale on Ebay today!

Is someone buying them up? It's unbelievable.

Must be a browser glitch.

This is strange. I typed Citroen Xantia and only 1 comes up.

I type Citroen Xantia HDi and a fair few more came up! Must be a fault from Ebay's side because Citroen Xantia has less keywords than Citroen Xantia HDi so should actually bring up all the TD's too!

Ebay's OK. Maybe you're not specifying a category. Just typing "Citroen Xantia" brings up spares/accessories as well . Specify Cars Motorcycles.

I just found 29 Xantias in CARS..

I never put in Citroen into the same search, as people dont always know how to spell Citroen ! So these can get missed out..

I'm specifying category otherwise 108,000 parts come up.

Why don't Ebay ban sellers that list the same battery 50 times? It is against the duplicate listing policy.

Try "Citroen Xantia" only. I honestly got only 1 result earlier today just before I posted.

By typing Citroen Xantia, on the main search page , and selecting Cars/Motorcycles and vehicles in the drop down "category", there are 27 Citroen Xantia cars offered, so Ebay is working just as it should.

Rothgar, you are not alone. I had this happen to me couple of months ago. Never did find out quite why. Think I then logged out, and back into ebay, and no problem, the Xantiae were all there!

Try putting Z antia in :roll:

(remove the space as FCF converts it to Xantia)
