When I go into manage ads it says my advert is live, but cannot find it when using the search tool?

there is an ad from previous owner still on for the same car, was thinking that maybe could be the problem.

anyone know what it could be?

We have just launched a new classified system featuring two levels of advert, standard adverts and premium adverts.

Premium adverts cost £7 and feature 9 pictures and placement at the top of the listings.

Standard adverts are free, but are placed after all the premium and dealer adverts in the listings. This will include any ordering you do to the adverts, for example price where the standard adverts will appear out of order.

In addition to the two categories, we also still have some old adverts on the site which were submitted before new system went live on the 3rd of July. These adverts are being treated as premium advert until they expire (which will be within 30 days).

All of this means that if you have recently submitted a standard advert then it is likely to appear several pages back in the listings, especially in a busy category which still contains a lot of old system adverts. As the old adverts expire this will balance out, but in the mean time your advert can be easily found by using either the advanced search or filter tools. Alternatively, you can upgrade your advert for just £7 which will allow you to add 6 more pictures and will bump your advert right to the top of the list.

Hope that helps clear things up.

Though I would add, as someone who has been a member of the site for 9 months you should get free premium adverts and you can update for free. Drop us a mail at support at pistonheads.com if this isnt the case thumbup
