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

[markf31]

It seems, as was mentioned earlier in the thread here, that they have now included an option in the filters for specific sports, so that's nice the option is there.

But as others are mentioning, the lack of being able to filter by era is still a bad decision. Being able to filter by "season" only is such a pain especially for sets like T206 that span multiple "seasons". And there are other card sets where PSA and SGC dont agree regarding the years or "seasons" that the set was issued through.

It's is ONLY available on the website, NOT on the apps.. iOS at least.

Try specifying the category as Trading Card Singles first. For Android, once I specified the Trading Card Singles category in the search filter, the Sport drop down option was available. For Android its right under the Country/Region of Manufacture filter option.

Ebay's new slogan should be - "Ebay: Where The Workaround Isn't The Exception, It's The Rule"

or:

"Ebay: If It Takes 3 Steps To Get Somewhere, Let Us Know And We'll Make It 6"

EBay is just a Dinosaur company now, where the head doesn’t know what the tail is doing. This boils down to over paid employees who have to act like their working to earn their checks. The fact that we are even talking about them is what they like. EBays strategy is If they are talking about you good or bad, that’s good. When they stop talking about you is when you need to worry. Their motto has always been “The only thing constant, is change”.

I went from power seller to part time buyer to now a lurker on eBay (Feebay). Unless something is pointed out to me, I rarely logon. Too bad there is not another rival “auction” site.

Whats the secret to get a live person on the line to express my disgust with the changes?

This completely ruins ebay for me. My main search every day was to go to the Baseball Card category, click on Auctions Only and Pre-War Era, and look through everything. That option is gone now. Instead, I have to click on 50 or 60 different "Year" filters to replicate that process. That's just not worth the effort. I can't believe no one else has come along and started a competing auction site.
