eBay Mess

[prestigecollectibles]

There are so many posts that I hope I am not repeating but it looks like when you are in the Ebay baseball card category you can choose the years you want to view on the left side. If you check "Choose More" you can pick any and all years that you want to view.

what you have posted is a whole lot more complicated than clicking on one subcategory that matches your interest....that's the point. Until the avg. consumer gets use to this more sophisticated way to search for cards, cards with actual value are going be less visible as they are now thrown into a pool of 80s-90s garbage...

Also, listing hundreds of items a day will require the seller to specify more info and take more time to sell each single item. Lastly, it is very difficult to sell mixed lots as you are now constricted to choosing one attribute for each item even though the cards might be different years. For example, if you have a lot of PFG commons from 1953-59 you will need to choose one year for the whole group, whereas the old system would allow you to place that group in the "Lot of 50s" subcat. Make sense?

Robert, that's the method I used when I re-saved my Ebay searches yesterday. The most glaring problem with that new method, though, is that at the very bottom of that list of years is the option "not specified" and there are currently 10,000 cards in the not specified category. I'm probably not going to add those 10,000 cards to my browsing list, but what am I potentially missing out on by doing so. Hobson's Ebay.

In addition msot T206's are listed without a year so its a huge problem. The only way i can look at what i want is t206 psa or t206 sgc, etc.

the old system allowed you to search by category AND attribute...
