I'm so tired of seeing valid listings buried among hundreds of junk and trinket postings on eBay. I wish eBah could come up with subcategories for collectibles and enforce them.

Care in point ~ I list Civil War collectibles. Those of us who do, find our tiems being buried more and more amid Rebel wrist watches, Save the Union bumper stickers and HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of other non-period items.

Another reason bids are down overall. People get worn out from looking for stuff of interest amid all the garbage.

Yup, they need a sub for authentic items of the era.

My partner collects Korea/Vietnam era and Civil War militaria.

She never does a category search. She ALWAYS does a keyword search. I do the same for stuff in my own area of interest.

I wouldn't worry too much.

In general, I'm opposed to the proliferation of categories. Too many as it it- with relevant items spread across multiple categories.

That said- I can see the advantage to restricting VINTAGE Collectible stuff in a particular field to its own category- separate from the related field that has new merchandise related to that field.

It is getting harder and harder to browse categories due to all the new stuff.
