Not enough country categories listings?????????????

[JanetB]

great comments, but i must say that 'Delcamp have ,i think, the best listing model there is to date for philately, and other categories, pity ebid could'nt emulate theres??? If ebid dont get onto fixing this then im afraid the philately section here will fade into obscurity, I'm sure most sellers in the stamps, have given it there best shot, some have been here longer than i, patience is wearing 'thin' and we all try to build this place up too.
We need More parent category space to add more of our own categorys, mine are all full up, i haveto have three countries in one cat' and this way is all filling fast and ive only got 2300 listings.
Whats happenin in the office? come on Gazza get ya 'shift' together

Why not list the categories here that Delcamp have?

[wilber11]

too hard, think ill go back to DELCAMP! just as free and easy to list there

Too hard? And you want admin to take you seriously?
Look at my efforts, and I have no idea about stamps let alone sell any

Oh well, I tried. Good luck with your endeavor anyway.

yes you have a great shop, but we only get 30 parent cat's to fill in, do you think there should be more?

Pardon?
I thought we were discussing the eBid main category site.

[JanetB]

This selection of parent categories have there own associated Sub-categories eg; mint, used, s/sheet, m/sheet, airmail, covers, postage due's, and some specific eras (1840-1900) (1900-1940) (1940-now) (WWll & occupation) etcetc: & Some Sub-Cat's have there own associated Sub-cat's.

I knew you could do it Well done

[madelaine]

I have never said that either the dark side or the other site mentioned are perfect.

First the word "topic" should be "thematic" - it's a translation from the French, I suspect in the second case, and is simply the wrong word.

But I go back to what I've said before. It needs redrawing not tinkering. I'll go on requesting specific changes as I need them but I am already registered on D****** and may start putting listing effort in there instead of here.

P.S. and in the end the correct way to get a category system with a category for every territory and postal administration is to lift it from a current standard catalogue. Any other method results in gaps. IMO, this takes too much time to be done when eBid have not undertaken to use the work done.

That is my last word on the subject (for the moment!)

[JanetB]

I have never said that either the dark side or the other site mentioned are perfect.

Sorry Madelaine, I was being flippant/sarcastic/humorous about the 'perfect' statement (some people believe 'they' are the 'biz') - nothing against you m'dear - sorry

And while I'm here, I'll just leave well alone concerning stamps. I have no expertise whatsoever.
