Glass Chatroom Board

Mahnin'All: Well, Ebay has finally done what many have long suspected they would do, sooner or later. They have found a way to get rid of sellers of antique & collectible items. They have just started eliminating those types of categories. As of last night, most of the specific categories for antique glass, china & pottery are GONE!!! As an example, the category of "Carnival Glass-Pre-1940" no longer exists. All the 14,000 plus listings in that category are now absorbed into just "Glassware". As an example, I had three items listed: an old Fenton Carnival Compote, an old Northwood Carnival Plate & a Dugan Art Glass Vase. They were now listed as, "Glassware- Cookware- Bowls" !!!

Most of the other specific sub-categories of antique glass & china ( like Opalescent Glass, Custard Glass, Stretch Glass, Ruby Stain Glass etc). & countless others, are all gone now too! Ebay has found a way to get out of the antique business. They just eliminated the categories! So, they're all done getting any money from me. I just ended all my listings & I will not sell there anymore. There's talk about this all over the internet this morning, on various group & club sites & pages.
