I listed this camera on Saturday but it doesn't seem turn up when I do a general search for Nikon D300 cameras.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? confused

Maybe it is God punishing you for having such an awful Advert layout... my eyes.

I searched for it but couldn't find it either. Maybe worth attempting to contact eBay and get them to refund so you can put it up again?

No idea, but I am happies to buy the NIKON D300 CAMERA from you. As long as you can confirm how long you have owning the cameras and promise me the condition is excellent. I am happy to pay what monies you want plus £100 for shippings to Italy. Please be replying urgently, as I need the cameras in the couple of days before I leave Italy.

You revised it so there may be a delay for that. Also, it's ironic that when selling a DSLR the picture of the camera itself is really crappy biggrin

Hmm, sounds fishy. Why would the Italians buy a camera?

SCAM!

Because I am pregnants and my husband Mario will be taking photographs of the births. I know that NIKON D300 CAMERA is best for this.

Strange, I can't find it either. Probably some new hairbrained policy Ebay have introduced. "In order to make your search experience safer, all listings will now be invisible to everyone but you."

Oh, glad it's not just me, then. I posted up 3 items last night, but only 2 of them showed up immediately, and the 3rd arrived mid-morning today. They do say things can take 24hrs to show, so I think it may be a system error with Eblag.

Couldn't agree more, horrible isn't it. Unfortunately I am using a Mac and it seems that eBay hates Macs hence the (crappy) template. Really should have loaded a better picture but can't take photos at the moment.

No clue about e-bay, but does filling out the first three fields in the 'item - specifics' area make any difference ?

Maybe eBay can't see it because the camera has no lens?

Sorry pal just you I use a mac and have no issues with listing on ebay!

I suspect the embedded HTML will have something to do with the listing not showing, to be honest I'm not upset about it either I get sick of people embedding HTML in listings to get round paying fees and create a "unique" look. It looks cr** and everyone else has to pay for the pictures they use!
Nice looking camera though!

It seems that ebay has recently changed how it works, making Mac listings go 'strange'.
I agree about the unique look, it is horrible but in my defense it did look much better on my screen before it was loaded up. I wouldn't mind paying for photos if the fees weren't quite so high. They were massively hiked recently.

It is a great camera, just ironic the listing looks so pants.

Sorry that is a truly dire listing & I'm sure you can make the pictures even bigger so they take longer than forever to load! A 1.5Mb picture in the middle of a listing would ensure I wouldn't bother waiting for it to load.
