Within Crafts a number of categories have been expanded and reorganised:

Crafts > Beads
    - Moved from Jewellery & Watches and reorganised

Crafts > Jewellery Making
    - New category

Within the categories listed below in bold the Item Specifics feature has become firmly established and all sub-categories will be removed.

We will no longer ask sellers to input multiple sub-categories and repeat the same information in the Item Specifics fields. Sellers will simply choose the main category, e.g. Baby Clothing and then Item Specifics, such as Size and Colour.

In addition, buyers will not be presented with both Matching Categories and a series of drop-down boxes (a ‘Finder’). Instead the more complete and flexible ‘Finders’ will be the only refinement choice. Besides making the page clearer, the ‘Finders’ allow buyers simultaneously to search by multiple criteria such as size and colour.

Clothes, Shoes & Accessories > Men’s Accessories

Clothes, Shoes & Accessories > Women’s Clothing

DVD, Film & TV > Other Film Formats

Home & Garden > Bedding

Music > Other Music Formats

Sporting Goods > Skiing > Skis

Toys & Games > Model Kits

Once the changes have taken place you will be able to see the new and changed category IDs on the All Categories Page.

We would like to thank all the members who took the time to contribute the thousands of ideas and suggestions that have helped to shape these changes.
