Is anyone else having a problem with the new listing form regarding the category list? I choose a category and on the next page a list of subcategories should be available, but I get the entire list of every category and subcategory in order with no first letter scroll down to speed the process. Anyone else??

Well, I am no help,but I have NO categories in any box!!!!!!!! And I can't get anyone to tell me what is wrong. They say pull down the first box, but there is NOTHING in it.
Who knows???

I have some friends having the same problem. If you are on Web TV you will have to put on you auction at Ebay with no pictures.
After your auction starts go to auction watches OLD SERVICES. Then add your photos to the auction.

Thanks for your replies. I have heard from eBay that this problem for WebTV users is because we have no hard drives and the WebTV memory isn't big enough to load the categories as they are now appearing. The solution eBay offered is to go to the page that lists the categories with their numbers and then list by category number to avoid having to scroll the whole list. However to find the category number you do have to scroll the whole list anyway. I guess if you sell in certain categories a lot it would be worthwhile to make list those numbers you frequently use.
Auctionwatch was blindsided by eBay's form change and was going to work on updating their form so WebTV users could still list from the Auctionwatch eBay form. It doesn't look like that is going to happen though.
WebTV users can't use the picture service on eBay either.
So for WebTV users it looks like we will have to load pictures on Auctionwatch but load auctions on the longer and more troublesome eBay form. Just more time and work is all, no biggy.
I love WebTV. It is so much faster than a PC for internet and it is so much more elegantly designed for user friendliness. But I guess we're being phased out of easy auctions unless they plan to expand memory. They've said they are for a long time but have never had a time frame for it.
