eBay Frustration

Hi Everyone,
Well, eBay appears to be dug in on the wisdom of their focus on moving to what they call a “product-based category structure.” I called last week before a quick trip to SoCal and Disneyland. Although very polite, the rep offered zero encouragement that the status quo ante would be seen again.
I have modified my searches for vintage Halloween enough to get down to ~18,000 items, with 200-500 being added every day. I can’t imagine too many collectors going through such an arduous process, so this may be a boon for other sites or general antiques shows. The drawback for sites like Etsy or Ruby Lane is that these have only fixed-price listings with the sellers there generally having an exalted view of the worth of their offerings. I wish there was an auction-based site alternative to the “new and improved” eBay.
I know I’ll be adding items to my For sale page over the next few weeks. Many of you have written to say they will be anticipating my annual auction like never before. Although I truly appreciate that, I just wish eBay would reinstate the categories as they existed prior to May 11th.
