Classifieds - category confusion.

[hornetrider]

Hi Guys

I am advertising a BMW M135i in the classifieds. When making the advert yesterday I vaguely scrolled down the options and saw M135i so just clicked on that. The advert is now live.

I went to search today and couldn't find it. I then noticed I'd searched on the 1 series category while selecting minimum engine size, petrol etc in order to only get M135is. Looking at the breadcrumbs on the ad I see it's actually been placed in it's own category of M135is. I realise in a sense this is a problem of my own making but it's a funny one, no?

Is it possible to list the car in two categories as I'm fairly sure this is an error anyone can make given the bazillions of categories in the PH fieds these days.

Cheers!

Hi hornetrider,

Thanks for the feedback. This is not currently available, but I will make a note of it and this may be implemented in the future.

For someone searching for cars like yours, there is the option to select multiple models for a make, so hopefully this will be used.

Thanks,
Dom

This then will surely lose the opportunist buyer?

One who say, is looking for a 130, but then sees an M135 and thinks "hmm, I could have one of those.."

Because the M135 won't show up in his searches for a 130?

For example on Autotrader - if you search a given marque and engine capacity, (e.g. BMW 1 series and 3L +) you will not only get 130's but 135's too?

Or am I misunderstanding the OP?

No you're spot on Tony. Because it doesn't fall under the 1 series category, the M135i is in a category all of it's own.

I've got round this by adding another advert into the 1 series category.
