Ebay drops sport specific subcategories for trading cards?!?!
Ebay changed its categories from the convenient specific sport subcategories to product oriented today without any advance notice. What a disasterous decision and implementation.

I can no longer sort by era, which now makes the T206 saved search useless.
I was rather enjoying the lack of 10,000 extra modern cards when I ran that search...

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. Last edited by nat; 05-11-2021 at 07:51 PM. |

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.

They've also decided to, "...retire the PowerSeller program..."
Guess that made sense to someone at eBay.

I just spoke with eBay to complain. I did find the sports sub-categories on the left side and they seem to have individual years, but not the different eras.

Complete nonsensical mess. If this is the new ebay, I'm done with them.

Glad to have jumped on here and saw this thread. I too thought it was just me. Impossible to look at different sports.
It really is not usable any longer. I hope it's a programming error that can be repaired.

Also, the Filter for Lot versus Single etc. is gone. What's next? Eliminating the Auction versus BIN option?

I agree slot of the recent changes haven't benefited the average eBay user.

Just tried using the available filters. Beyond a nightmare, wtf. If anyone figures out a workaround please post it, until then EBAY is worthless.
