Thank you eBay for eliminating antique photograph categories.
Please vote to bring back :
* Daguerreotype
* Ambrotype
* Tintype
* CDV
* Cabinet Card
* Albumen Photos
* Sepia tone
Etc...
Now, all you see is a jumbled mess!

it is this way for SO many items.
eBay knows and I honestly do not think they will do anything.
Many categories are a huge jumble .... there is 1 post on here with over 900 responses.
You should be able to find it on here.
Unless someone tags them it is very seldom eBay looks through these posts.
Dont be surprised if what you are asking does not happen.
Sorry..... many sellers and buyers have negatively been affected this week with this change and 4th quarter sales will surely tank.

I think that is what Item Specifics are intended for.
Unfortunately, eBay doesn't provide reliable filters for those item specifics.

Some of those old category items listed can still be browsed by going to the Photographic Images category, performing a search and then using the Production Technique filter:
Or the Format Filter:
Or the Image Color filter:
If you do not see those filters in your category or search results, you should be able to search using one of those terms as a keyword to find those items as well.
Yes, it is not as easy as using the categories you are familiar with, but you should still be able to find the items you are interested in and avoid the ones you are not by using a suitable combination of keywords, category, and filter options -- most likely more than one combination will get you useful results.

Hopefully the sellers will use key words in their titles. Personally, in most cases, I have been doing key word searches forever anyway.
