We’re updating some of our categories and item specifics to make your listings easier to find.
Starting October 12th, you’ll see updates to the following categories.
Collectibles & Art
Jewelry
Musical Instruments
Parts & Accessories
Sporting Goods
As these updates go into effect, you may see temporary impacts to your listing experience or to the visibility of listings in the affected categories.
This is a result of listings transitioning to the updated item specifics and category structures. Your affected listings should return to normal within 48 hours, though you may see irregularities on some listings for up to a week. We recommend checking your item specifics and categories in affected listings after these updates are complete.

I've just discovered that all my listings have been transferred from 'Australian Pottery > Other Australian Pottery to 'Pottery/glass > Cookware/Dinnerware/Serveware > Bowls. And that is irrespective of what the item actually is.
Now in the process of changing all to Pottery/Glass > Other Pottery/Glass.
With a bit of luck that may result in some sales again.
But what an absolute joke by eBay!!!!!
And a nightmare for all sellers, who will most likely have to do the same as I am, in whatever category they had listed in.
