Default 96 850 R Auto Estate on eBay.

Well, here's my Volvo 850 R now on eBay.

I have no reserve and no buy it now, I'm not interested in any offers and the car will remain on the auction until the end.

Right, the car got removed tonight half way through the auction due to the damn title. No warning to amend it or anything, just straight off removed. Absolutely fuming!

They removed it because I referred to other models in the title.
I wrote.. 'like V70 S70 C70 S60'.

They could have given me a warning or even removed that bit themselves rather than just straight up removing it, hugely irritating!

It might have done you a favour, as the car has now had more air time on ebay. I often see cars fetch more the second time round

In my experience it's usually the other way round, best price the first time.
I've had plenty of people ask why I removed it for goodness sake, can't blame them i suppose.

It's currently got 100 less watchers than it did the first time and it's over £500 less than it was, I'm left in a rather nervous state haha

That was not on for EBay to do that, they should have told you to change the title...

Good luck with the sale, what a great looking car!

That's called keyword stuffing or search spamming and it's against the rules because it pollutes search results. You did it because you want more eyeballs on your car, however the vast majority of those eyeballs will have no interest in your car. People like me loathe it because if I'm searching for, for example, an S60, I'm not interested in seeing an 850, it's a waste of my time scrolling past you and everyone else that does it.

It's a good rule, there for a reason. I wish more sites would enforce it.
