Possible re-configuration of Movies & DVD Category

[lofty100e]

Hi, When the movies and DVD section is selected you then have to browse past all the Blu Ray options before arriving at the normal DVD selections. I am sure I am not the only person who has been caught out by the clunkiness of this category and placed my listing in Blu Ray in error.

I am guessing that it was programmed at the time Blu Ray was introduced and everyone assumed that Blu Ray woud blow the normal DVD format out of the water. In the same way that VHS took out Beta Max. However this has not happened as far as I know (whenever I browse through the shops and online the DVD seems to take precedence in positioning); this suggests that it is probably the dominant seller.

Would it be possible to have two clickable links when you enter the Movied/DVD category (one to take you to Blu Ray categores and the other to the DVD lists?

A little confused here as I can't see a problem.

If I click 'Buy' from this page and the click Movies/DVD section the Blu Rays are first because the list is in alphabetical order and I just read left to right until I come across DVD's.

Am I guessing that your problem arrives when listing?

That is correct, when you press the sell button and Moves/DVDs you are presented with a very long vertical pick list to scroll down. And as the site is being readied for easier handling on all devices this modification would make sense.

If the list wasn't in alphabetical order it would be chaotic, a seller would never be able to find the category they want to sell in.

deanosaur: I have no problem with things being in alpha order, just askin for a link so that folks can access the correct format quicker.

I agree with your initial suggestion. Collapsible lists would benefit most selling categories. It irks me wading through the long lists, Heaven only knows what it is like for those that list a lot.

Ah... collapsible lists makes sense. So not just DVD and Blu-Ray but also HD DVD, Laserdisc, Other, Reels & VHS.

Not quite how I read the initial post

Not just there. If, for example, I wanted to list a music magazine I would have to scroll through all the book and comic categories before I even hit the start of the magazine categories.

It would be better, in that example, to initially only be presented with a choice of books, comics, and magazines. Selecting one of those opens up the more specific categories.

Oh how wonderful that would be!

I know that you will know this...... but for the benefit of others who may not....

In that example of a magazine - on the drop down list just hit M on the keyboard and it will take you directly to Magazines, saves scrolling. Same on the DVD example - on the drop down just hit D

That is in no way a solution, more of a 'make do'.
