Ebay drops sport specific subcategories for trading cards?!?!

[markf31]

Seems the majority of filter criteria that was previously available is now gone as well.

Maybe if enough people contact eBay and ask them to bring back the era filter they'll do it? Without it, eBay is about 1000% less useful.

Edit: looking over it now, I'll take that back. It makes it simply unusable.

Wow, I thought I had accidentally did something. Now, you still get modern T206 mixed in with vintage, even when you pick the years. & there's no memory of what you selected.

Bad move by Ebay..

Another instance of eBay not "leaving well enough alone."

They *probably* figure this will lead to more sales. Average customer will see things they ordinarily wouldn't have and, as a result, make impulse purchases. I guess it makes sense on a basic level, though I doubt many Net54 members would spontaneously begin collecting Topps 206, for example.

They're messing with more categories than just sports cards. I have hundreds of 45 RPM records listed on eBay. Earlier today, I was prompted to enter item specifics that will soon be required. Luckily, I learned how to bulk edit, so I could update all the listings at once.

Absolutely horrible. All my searches are dominated by football cards now.

Like looking for your clothing size at a Ross Store...

I cannot remember ONE instance where eBay made a change that I liked over the years. Not ONE. Everything they do is for the worse.
