    How can anyone find you if they need the item number to do so?

    Ok look up m&s ladies coat size 16/18 and you will get 1 item not mine

    The word 'size' isn't in your item description, so searching for 'm&s ladies coat size 16/18' won't show it.

    If you search 'm&s ladies coat 16/18' it shows up.

    To be fair, the word 'size' isn't in the other item decription either altough 'Sz' is. The fuzzy logic matching may be influenced by the fact the other seller is registered as a Business Seller and Top Seller whereas you are just a private seller.

    Excuse me i was asked for the item number , i gave this information so others could check their own items not to get something out of it myself.
    I have visited martin's site often, don't post very much but i pride myself in doing thing's for others how someone could think that i would post to get people to view my items rather than think has this person got a point.
    I have tried all the search combinations and my items are not showing

    You just think if you list an item your item should come up with any of the title even if someone just puts in coats i would expect all items to come up mine is not doing that i have done full title searc h and partial searches.
    Please excuse my passing on points of concern to others as thats what i thought this was here for to warn others of problems, not everyone is out for themselves.

    OP is looking in search himself and it is not showing up.

    This is not the impression I got from the OP. I took from the OP that the item was logged in their own area of ebay but that s/he couldn't find it when using specific terms when conducting a general search.

    The OP is not using the exact title of his/her item to look up and this is why s/he can't find it.

    this is why I made the suggestion I did and rather than requiring trading standards the OP needs to look at the wording of his/her listing before searching.
    If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!

    One of the members has told you they found it though. And I just did. So what are you doing?
