No more pre-30 section on eBay???

Post  glenv on Tue Sep 22, 2009 2:07 pm

Did eBay really get rid of all sections based on years? Is that just a mistake that they are going to fix, or do they just not want us to find anything... Is there a new way to search on pre-30 cards? What is eBay thinking???

Flat out bad decision.

Really will hurt the pre-war eBay sales.

Sellers will begin to disappear even more.

imo it's not going to affect the people i want to buy from the most...the mom and pop seller who found a dozen t/e cards that's been stashed away for 40 years. they'll find their way to ebay. i'm tired of looking at overgraded psa3s or ripped up hal chase sgc As (the grading fees is equal to card's value) at 300% market price. prolly less competition in bigger auction houses where people are looking to flip on ebay.

FeeBay's categories never affected me because because I have never done a search by category. Over the years I've developed specialized searches that help find those hidden gems that others tend to miss. The last place I am going to look for a bargain is in the proper category an item is supposed to be in.

I don't make a habit of checking ebay much anymore, but I finally did and found it really annoying that the categories had been taken away. One thing it will definately do for me is take away my purchases of cards other than T206 Cycle 460s and T202s because I bought many of my cards by seeing the auction and thinking they were cool and had to have it. Now I pretty much have to search for them and won't be stumbling across them.

Ebay just continues to shot itself in the foot, how many feet do they have?

eBay now has an "Era" section, which includes a "Pre WWII (Pre-1942)" selection. Finally, a step in the right direction...
