Wow,

I just tried to make a bid and sure enough, you must bid $16.99. Any bets that this item does not get a single bid?

I have an auction that was listed Thursday , revised Friday and it shows intermittently in a search. No big surprise considering the last few weeks. but the really strange this is that sometimes it shows the original title and sometimes it show the new title. Would someone care to explain that?

I just checked the auction you referenced. They revised their minimum bid. I would be willing to bet that Bug DiJour has something to do with revised auctions.

Here we go again. Oh Brother!

He originally listed it at $16.99, then revised it to $7.99. The revision took at the top, but not at the bottom. The other possibility (and this is scarey) is that he revised it to put a 16.99 reserve on it, and the wording did not show up at the top, but the reserve amount has been revealed at the bottom. Regardless of what happened, there's a major glitch in the Ebay system.

I think Sparkz is right, the revision took at the top, but not at the bottom. You can place a $7.99 bid.

Variations in number of listings displayed in Search June 14, 2006 | 09:14:43 AM PDT

I found this while reporting another of my auctions that is not showing correctly. Went to the System Announcements page and it is not showing.

I got news for them, search is not the only function screwed up! Revisions are causing some flakey problems too.
