Item not showing

Hi, another query!

My mate listed an item around lunchtime. It's still not showing when we do a search (the spelling is correct).

We have an auction reference number and can look at it via that, but that's not much help for potential customers to see it!!


Any ideas?


TIA,
Mumxx

    thanks, it's item 150055254302.

    All appears to be spelt correctly so maybe it's just a delay as you suggest

    When you put the auction number in it shows up but if I try search for "Stingray Cruiser Bike" (copied directly out of auction title) yours isn't listed. Maybe it has to be pre approved before listing as you are a new seller?

    Did you put a scheduled time for the auction. Many do in error then wonder why the item isn' showing:confused:


    AL1 If your friends Username is No1 Soapqueen it's now on line ;)
