My Best eBay Search...

The frustration with eBay’s needless and high-handed “improvements” continues. My top search is simple. I search for “Vintage Halloween” in all categories with the box to search descriptions checked. This yields ~17,000 listings, most of them garbage. However, with 200-500 items listed in that search daily, I am finding it manageable, although I know things are escaping my review. I have a number of more targeted searches like Vintage Halloween Dennison, Vintage Halloween Decorations, etc. that I run through, although, again, this isn’t optimal from a time perspective - at least for me. Bottom line - as a collector of vintage Halloween, eBay has made it harder to use their site. As a seller, I wouldn’t use eBay for any vintage holiday goods at the moment.
