Did you really expect it to.

It's like me waiting for pigs to fly by my window

Apart from moving to the otherside, I totally agree with you, love to stitch. Sadly, eBid used an expert to design the categories. I don't have to ask whether the expert in question was male or female!

Did they really? I wonder if it was the same one who designed glass categories shown on the "Browse x,xxx,xxx items on Ebid and decided to ignore all the popular ones and only show 3.

BTW. Today Glass is showing -297 Items for sale on ebid

I'm sure it was the same "expert".

Sadly, eBid management just don't seem to care

Sorry to interrupt your thread but my question is related. There used to be a long list of "All Categories" with every available sub-category shown. Is this still available and if so where please?

Years ago I asked on the Forum why I couldn't use "Recently Used Categories" when listing in the Art Deco Glass sub-cat. Can't remember the answer, but I still can't (200-odd listings later). Linking that to my query about the lack of sub-categories on the public facing Home Page, I think there might be something very wrong in "Pottery, Porcelain and Glass" and its sub-cats. as well as your problem with "Crafts / Handmade Items".

I wonder if sales are reduced by effectively 'hiding' valid sub-cats. within other sub-cats., rather than showing them properly as distinct sub-cats. on their own, and making it look like there are no such items for sale on ebid. It's like not showing "Wedgewood" pottery in the list of sub-cats., because it's only shown in the next level as a sub-cat. of "Royal Doulton".

The first level sub cats are all here https://www.ebid.net/uk/buy/

You then click on each one to get lower level categories

Any thoughts of best cat for a hanging Pot Pourri container? Seems not to fit anywhere.

Sorry, ignore this. I have now found a p-pourri section that I didn't see on Ninja!!
