Overview   Click here to view upcoming category structure

Thanks to all of you who took the time to respond to the proposed Collectibles category changes. Thousands of emails were received and reviewed and the vast majority of responses were supportive of the proposed changes. Hundreds of suggestions were taken into consideration in creating these revisions to the original proposal.

Based on your input more categories will be added to Advertising, and Airlines will move from Advertising to Transportation. Modifications made since the original posting of this proposal are highlighted in yellow.

The revised category structure is scheduled to roll out in April 2001. However, ongoing input is always welcome, as changes to the Collectibles categories will continue on a monthly basis. Your input is needed to make these monthly changes effective. Please send your input on this group of categories to advertising@eBay.com.

Category numbers for existing categories are shown in brackets next to the category name. To view a list of all current categories with category numbers, click here.

Thank you for your continued support of eBay. Your efforts help make eBay Collectibles the best area it can be.
