Ty Beanies Categories - outdated, perhaps?

[CarnoustieCats]

There are still over 2,500 'Tys' for sale on eBid

- my daughter has a few hundred of them, but so do many more sellers... can they not just be left for the sellers who have them please?

It's no that they shouldn't be there but the categories are outdated. What is a retired beanie for example? Does anyone care?

[CarnoustieCats]

I thought you wanted the wholeTy Beanie category removed!... I suppose nowadays all of them are 'retired' ..

Heidi has hers listed as Ty Beanie ... followed by Babies / Boppers / Buddies / Pinkys / Punkies etc...

As long as 'Ty Beanie' has a category the rest could be subdivided as each seller wants in their own shops.

Yes, I know, but I would still like the main categories to be sensible!

[madelaine]

Please? I'm bored with asking... if it is any comfort to management I will not bother with this again... but I will not bother with ANY category suggestion. There are several others where I have specialist knowledge which need to be changed to benefit both sellers and buyers but they are being ignored.

Specifics please. Merge what into what etc?

Gazza... it's not my auction site... but under Dolls & Bears there is a cat..

Beanie Babies with subcats as follows
Accessories (1)
Current (6)
New (90)
Oddities (1)
Rare (30)
Retired (850)

I would like this changed to have just 3 cats - bears, teenies & others

So you mean create

Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies : Bears
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies : Teenies
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies : Other

and move anything already in

Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies :Accessories (1)
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies :Current (6)
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies :New (90)
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies :Oddities (1)
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies :Rare (30)
Dolls & Bears : Beanies & Beanbag : Beanie Babies :Retired (850)

into the newly created categories and remove the old ones?

That's it, please! You could put them all in "other" and let us do the work (I think that is reasonable - do others agree?)
