It's another case of the eBay shuffle!

Looks like they rolled out new categories and subcategories overnight. All I know is, some of my auctions are no longer in the category I originally placed them. They have been moved into crazy subcategories where they will no doubt receive minimal exposure.

I suggest you all check whether your items remain in the same category they were in when you went to bed last night.

And apparently the shuffle has put search to sleep. Tried finding "chenille" under collectible textiles - none (at 430am and just a couple of minutes ago). Tried a couple of other searches too, just in case they'd put all the chenille under Metalware or something.

sadie,

Did you try searching for "the captain and chenille"?

A few of mine have changed. Could someone please go here and try to click into a subcategory?http://pages.ebay.com/catindex/collectibles.html

I'm getting "page not found" for every one I tried...
Hard for bidders to get in the front door, and search is sooo reliable. Hope it's a temporary glitch.
Thanks!

Could someone explain the logic of moving Boy Scouts and Masonic stuff to something called "Historical Memorabilia"? I supose Fraternal Organizations made too much sense.

Some of these changes are bizarre. Most of the new or shuffled categories I saw are actually new subcategories moved to, or in newly created amorphous catch all categories. It was difficult enough to find anything as it was. Getting title and description search up to date is even more important now.

I HATE the look of the mess and trying where to list now. Weren't aware they were going to take it upon theirselve to move our already started auctions. Guess its time to go inspect.

You can always change them back into a more appropriate category.

C'mon!

We all knew they were gonna screw up something Thursday night.

They even warned us with words like "enhanced" and "upgrade"!

Afterall, they ARE a Mickey Mouse operation! [ edited by ecom on Apr 14, 2001 01:41 PM ]
