Category changes - again.....starting in June
Category and Classification Updates
We've made category updates to provide a more intuitive buying, selling, and search experience on eBay. Category updates including new additions, removals, merging and the renaming of categories.
If you have a listing in an affected category, we'll automatically move your listing to the most relevant category. The updated categories include:

eek!
This isn't as bad as it sounds. Currently they get three tries to reach the lowest price you'll accept and this just speeds up the process, and also makes sure they don't miss out by using up their three offers by time they reach your bottom price. The only downside is that some buyers might make exceptionally low offers and you'd prefer them not to buy at all, but if they make really low offers they probably won't want to pay your lowest price anyway.
It doesn't actually say sellers will be forced to use that feature if they have best offer on their listings. It only says they'll have access to it. Presumably that means sellers have a choice.

All of mine are books. I am really looking forward to having time to change anything that needs changing before eBay's bots put them in the wrong place.
