    Default Postcards as a Main Category

    I would like to see postcards as a main category.

    Deltiology is a very popular worldwide hobby.
    eBid could become renowned for its postcard content and adding as a top cat would be one step in that direction.

    Stamps have a top cat, so should postcards.
    eBid UK stats...
    It has the largest category count in Collectables, 263,253 at this point, surely that would warrant it being a top cat?.
    It makes up more than 50% of the Collectable category.
    There are only 2 top cats with more listings.(one being stamps)

    Please give this some serious thought.

    I suggested this a while ago and was told "this is not going to happen"

    & Yarnalong for craft patterns
    and
    Lotzabitz -anything that doesn't belong in one of the other shops.

    Agree wholeheartedly! - even though I'm biased toward Postcards!

    Postcards continue to be ever popular and on the increase as a Collectible item(s)

    Even though I don't sell postcards I must agree. When you see the number of items in some other main categories, it seems ridiculous that a category with over 200,000 items listed is not a main category.

    I suspect that it would please sellers of other collectables too. Scrolling through all those postcard categories is a pain when listing Transport memorabilia, for example

    I agree it should be a main category. In addition it should appear as a ghost category under Collectables
