I checked some random sellers (again), and yes, categories are still all over the place.

My categories all line up fine

do you have a store?

Besides being awful in functionality, and I told them so in their feedback (twice) I was so annoyed with it.

 

Anyone else noticed that all the store category links from say your listing pages only go to the main store page and do not show the category anymore?  This is the most annoying thing for me.  You see these links when you have the store template put the categories down the left side of the product page or when you embed them yourself (as I do). ie "Click here to see other items in this category."

 

I spoke to CS about it and they don't even understand the problem. (not surprising).

 

 

Nope,  mine still show the categories

Try this, look at an item on ANY random store on eBay that shows their "categories" down the left hand side.  Now click on one of those categories.  You'll be taken to the store home page (not the category you picked).

None of my categories show on listing pages 😞 These are essential for a shop like mine, and buyers can only access them through the home page in a stupid hamburger style menu that doesn't function like hamburger menus are supposed to, which means lots of clicking back - if they know they need to navigate back in order to access the things they want. Forward navigation is intuitive, backward navigation is, well, backwards. 

 

"See other items" works fine, store navigation / experience - 0/10. 

my categories are only alphabetical (correct) when I click on 'shop by category' when entering store....after that, customers have buckley's chance of finding anything. I think this might be the new way and the categories on the left-hand side (in blue) will disappear

works fine for me
