I understand your anger. But.....category change/Item Specific changes aren't new. eBay's been doing them for a while now. I'm guessing this may be the first time your categories were effected. I've been through this before. It's no fun correcting the incorrect categories and filling in the required item specifics. But.....I've done it, and I will do it this time as well. And collectors are resourceful. They will figure out how to find your stuff using keywords and item specific filters. ebay has NO desire to destroy the collectibles marketplace. And this will NOT destroy it, just as the previous changes did not destroy those categories.
I know it can be hard to see it right now, but this isn't the end of antique pottery and glass or anything else.
I respectfully disagree. This buyer and seller since 1999 for vintage items, is very resourceful and my buying in certain categories have grounded to a halt. Most notably Christmas category. Explained in other post, not going to go into details.
I agree if you are searching for items with an obvious key word, hey, eBay is business as usual. Problem is many sellers do not know what they have nor have the skills to describe accurately. Not blaming them, no one can know everything.
The previous tools, in my humble opinion were more conducive to listing vintage items.
As a result, I have been looking elsewhere to buy.
That's my experience at least. For those that think all is well, that's fine to. It seems there is a lot of concern as evidence by the 28000+ views on their pinned thread regarding this issue.
