    Default What happened to eBay's categories?!

    I can't go to a specific system anymore, but can only use a search/filter function. And I can no longer search something in a specific system's directory. All my searches search the ENTIRE games directory!


    DAMN YOU eBay!!!!!!!!

    It's all messed up!

    My saved searches aren't category specific anymore either!

    I know it friggin blows. They have had an announcement on that search page for a couple weeks saying they were going to change it. It sucks now. All my bookmarks are messed up too.

    This is stupid. It's one big giant mess. This is how they sorted games back in 1998.

    Yeah, I seen this last night....It's pretty crappy and I'm SUPER pissed over it. I don't know if they think this is a better way or what because if they do they need to fire the trained monkeys they have working for them and hire something a little more intelligent.

    Bummer. They really screwed up.

    Though, really. I can get used to it.

    Actually, I used to just hit "Search" right away anyway without putting any term in the box. Now I just have to get used to choosing from a pull-down list.

    Calm down, guys. It's not the end of the world as we know it. I feel fine.

    Makes selling a little easier (everything goes in one category now), but I have a feeling it's going to hurt sales too...

    And yes, I'm severely pissed off that none of my searches are effective anymore. I had finally got them tweaked from THE LAST FRIGGIN CHANGE.
