I know, I've worked with a lot of them too. Very friendly. It's the usual drill, applicable to most races, I find - a small group make the noise that creates the stereotype, while the majority get on with their lives, and everyone, and couldn't give a hoot(ennanny) about.. piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was searching for bronze Hulk lots and all-of-a-sudden, I lost the ability to filter by age. Everything was combined into "comics books and memorabilia" with the only sub-category being comics. Is this happening to anyone else? This cannot be the new normal... Oh yeah, this is not an error. Check out the category changes PDF https://ir.ebaystatic.com/pictures/aw/pics/catchanges/2021/May/NTF-update/US_Category_Changes_May2021_NFT-update.pdf Purple text is retired categories.

lonetree Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 For quite some time, eBay has been asking sellers to add "Item Specifics". I think they are planing to do away with the sub-categories and rely on these "Item Specifics". Of course, today, when trying to post a new book, there is nowhere to add the "Item Specifics. Hopefully it is just a bug during the transition: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've been wrestling through this all morning, as I post some new listings. It appears to lump every single comic listing on ebay into a single category, and the "item specifics" will do little to assist. It's clearly designed by someone who has no understanding of the comic marketplace. It would be interesting to reach out with input and advice, but there really isn't a place on ebay that this can be done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to post a new book, the Item Specific information was not available. That is why I believe it is in a transition at the moment.

Ride the Tiger Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Jeez if I just listed some auctions with no reserve i'm ending them immediately for fear not many people are gonna find them. Warlord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 This is terrible. "War comics" in GA typically has around 7k listings. Now "war comics" in all of comics has 4400, most of which seem to be Star Wars. I'm really glad I don't rely on ebay for income. goldust40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingDonut Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 You are required to add a "Condition" on every listing. These are the only options: Brand new: The book is new, unread, and unused in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. See the seller's listing for full details. Like new: The book looks new but has been read. The cover has no visible wear, and the dust jacket (if applicable) is included for hard covers. It has no missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no underlining/highlighting of text or writing in the margins. It may have very minimal identifying marks on the inside cover as well as very minimal wear and tear. See the seller's listing for full details and a description of any imperfections. Very good: The book does not look new and has been read but is in excellent condition. There is no obvious damage to the cover the dust jacket (if applicable) is included for hard covers. There are no missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no underlining/highlighting of text or writing in the margins. It may have very minimal identifying marks on the inside cover as well as very minimal wear and tear. See the seller's listing for full details and a description of any imperfections. Good: The book has been read but is in good condition. It has very minimal damage to the cover, including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. The dust jacket for hard covers may not be included. The binding has minimal wear. The majority of pages are undamaged with minimal creasing or tearing, minimal pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. There are no missing pages. See the seller's listing for full details and a description of any imperfections. Acceptable: The book has obvious wear. It may have some damage to the cover, but its integrity is intact. The binding may be slightly damaged, but its integrity is still intact. There may be possible writing in the margins and underlining and highlighting of text, but there are no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. See the seller's listing for full details and a description of any imperfections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Those are the same grade descriptions as books, like hardcovers and paperbacks, not comics. The eBay insufficiently_thoughtful_persons have no clue about comics, or in-depth knowledge about any collectible. goldust40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly as a eBay seller this is just less steps I have to click on. I have only used the "search function" on eBay since 1999. All those sub-clicks are a waste of time anyway.
