    Can I just add my dismay to this situation also.....

    And mine as well, IF it will help any. I have a whole room full of nothing but craft supplies to list but am not touching them until the category situation gets straightened out

    I have needle felting accessories to list. But if they are going into HOME AND GARDEN!!!! there is no way that I shall list until the correct category is provided (see category request).

    What exactly do they think Needle Felting is? Felting for tiling a roof? Felting underlay for carpets?

    The mind boggles.

    Are you prepared to propose a reorganised set of categories yourself? In your shoes I'm sure I'd not take that on without first an assurance that your proposals will be given serious consideration, and perhaps even public discussion. But it sounds to me, very much a non-expert in this area, as if something like that is really needed.

    John, I would happily propose a set of categories for discussion but not without assurance that eBid are going to consider changes. I can't believe that they made these changes without any consultation. It is obvious that they didn't ask anyone with any knowledge of needlecraft. The categories were far better before this reorganisation. There are two areas where I have specialist knowledge - stamps and crafts - in both those who know(and it is not just me!) are mostly ignored.

    Judging by the other thread, where Gazza replied, it seems the present changes are far from the end of it. Which begs the question, if the eventual scheme is going to be an improvement, why throw in this half-baked scheme along the way? It's hard to believe that with the present changes being so inept, the eventual scheme will be well thought out.

    I suspect, John, that you have the advantage over Gazza in that you have met me so you have a more reliable idea of who it is that is saying what I'm saying.

    Well, before tongues start wagging, let me hasten to add that I think I met you one time about 10 years ago!

    My regard for your capability is almost entirely formed from your public postings here. So Gazza should be able to make up his own mind about you equally well.

    ... and keeping with the French theme, in my best Maurice Chevalier accent:

    H: We met at nine
    M: We met at eight
    H: I was on time
    M: No, you were late
    H: Ah, yes, I remember it well...
