I think this is the end of vintage cards being listed on ebay. Nearly every day or so I'd browse through the pre-1930s section and inevitably I would pick up a card I just liked even if it weren't of one of the players I normally collect. That is now impossible. Why then would anyone list a valuable card on ebay knowing that a large part of your targeted audience will miss it?

What a piece of crap!
Anyone knows if this type of 'simplification measure' was taken on other collectibles categories? I saw this today under the ebay system announcements board... Maybe golf cart owners are pissed off right now.

There is some one at eBay that has a death wish for eBay.

I just got off of the phone with an ebay customer rep. I complained about the search feature, and the fact that it will take more time to list items. The 400+ items that I have listed are pretty much worthless with the category search function taken away. I can't see how these changes will benefit anyone.

We have to remember that in the scheme of things, baseball cards is a very minimal category. Compared to electronics and music and books. AMAZONBAY!!!!

I have 2 listings up for Pawtucket Red Sox cards. Now they are just Cards-Baseball---No Minor Lg or anything!---just lumped into the mix!
What a crock!

I sold a '53 Topps lot of (16) w/a Spahn (granted they were in Fair shape) for $16! Normally, they would have sold for atleast $30. I will not be honoring this sale and will take a neg. if need be. I have changed all my other auctions starting price and would recommend others do so before a bid comes in.
Normally, at this time of the night, I would browse a couple of my favorite categories, place a few bids, win a card or two. Now, not going to happen, not just b/c I'm STEAMED but mostly b/c the cards just aren't accessible and I hate wading thru modern junk. BTW--this is all intentional. They want to kill auctions and small/midlevel sellers, this will help them do so very quickley. I will not be listing anymore the way/volume I had been planning on. |
