Someone at the top needs to know we, as sellers, are extremely frustrated and angry about the changes being made, already made. I have seen a decline in sales, assumingly because buyers cannot find what they are looking for, as well as an obvious decline in adding listings to my store. What used to take under a minute to list a card now takes several minutes. I have over 1800 cards listed! Am I suppose to go in and individually revise each one to upgrade the item specifics? This is utter and complete debauchery! I cannot even counter an offer now! Seriously considering closing my store and moving to a different platform. So frustrating!! Why change what works!! I just don't get it...

It's other categories as well. It's being done in collectables, CD's and others. Very detailed and multiple item specifics that I have no answers for or time to change.

Yep . Any card singles you sell is automatically considered used. Even if it's a PSA 10 Gem Mint. Everyone who sells alot of cards their sells are way down. I can't even get in to my listings to adjust prices and quantities. It sucks‼️

No If you're selling Factory Sealed Boxes there is a category for them and you select new factory sealed. Used is for raw single cards not in packs

A buyer who only wants baseball cards used to be able to select the baseball card category. Now has to input more information to get a selection of only baseball cards to browse. I can't imagine how making it harder for a buyer to get where he/she/they want/s is going to increase sales.

I can hardly wait for eBay to dump all postage stamps into a generic "Stamps" category.

Left out that some use to do it by category new listings and just see what was new they might be interested it.

I agree this is costing sellers and ebay itself with this stuff.

Funny, I did bulk edits on all my non-sports cards and it only took a couple of minutes. You can always enter something generic if you don't want to make specific entries per item. No big deal. Contrary to what eBay says, few buyers look for things by any item specific. Also, you only need to do the required ones right now.
