Ebay's search is goofy.
A search Alfa Romeo changes the search to the 'Alfa Romeo' category.
A search Alfa Romeo Spider changes the search to the 'Alfa Romeo > Spider' category.
The OP listed an Alfa Romeo Spider but put it in the 'Alfa Romeo > Other' category instead of the 'Alfa Romeo > Spider' category.
IMHO The OP needs to put his item in the correct subcategory, or he will lose out on exposure.
I just hate it that Ebay does the above. Most people (even experienced sellers like me) don't know they are looking at only one subcategory.
I sell vintage James Avery jewelry. Always used to put it in the vintage jewelry category until I noticed a search on "James Avery" when straight to "fine jewelry". When I noticed that, I started putting my vintage items in this new category, just so they'd show up. Today, when you search on James Avery, the auto return shows 9,412 in Fine Jewelry. In reality, there are 10,148 James Avery items out there. Over 700 James Avery items automatically don't get exposure.
Like I said, Ebay's search is goofy.
