What category are antique clocks under? I used to be able to find them but no longer.
Hard to research anything anymore. For example, if you use the drop down under category and choose for example, Collectibles, Holiday and Seasonal then put in the search what you are looking for it goes back to All Categories. Useless. It was even better when you could choose what holiday. Also you used to be able to see what category an item is listed in at the top of the page of a listing. Not there anymore. Research is getting almost impossible for an older dealer like me who wasn't born with a computer in my crib even though I have been selling since 2002.

OP1 year agoI see clocks are under decorative collectibles. Didn't think of that.
Not sure what breadcrumb links are but it used to say at the top "...collectibles, decorative collectibles, clocks. Don't see that anywhere on the listing.
Thank you very much. These did help. Not sure what I was doing before but when I put in antique clock what I needed came up.

Yes, those category links that used to be at the top are referred to sometimes as "breadcrumbs" because they allow you to see where you are coming from like a trail of breadcrumbs you have left behind you, and they can be used to go up the category chain easily one step at a time.
Now those breadcrumb category links are at the bottom of the page, which is much less convenient.

OP1 year agoI don't see it at the bottom of the listing. After the listing itself there are some feedbacks them "you may also like" which goes on forever. When you get to the bottom of those it immediately jumps up to somewhere in the middle of that. At least I guess it is somewhere in the middle. Maybe it is a bunch of different listings. Not useful.

Mentor1 year agoTry searching by keyword first, then change the category on the search results page using the category tree on the left side of the search results if you are using a desktop browser.

The category breadcrumb links that used to appear at the top of a listing also are at the bottom, if you can scroll past all the sponsored listings. You can also see the category by using the "sell similar" link.
Use the "Comment?" / "Feedback?" / "?" link in the lower right of most pages to provide feedback to eBay page developers about the changes.
