When did ebay remove this catagory???

It's so annoying having to sift through all the Bini crap, hundreds of "mini blade fuse" etc. This can't be a good move for ebay!!

I am having to add more and more to my search line to get anything like a decent list of bits to look through. for example,

"mini -BMW -fuse -camera -led" Anyone else as peed off as me?

I noticed that yesterday! Makes it loads harder now to find what you actually want without getting some useless bits.
Ebay, I feel a complaint coming on! hahaha

When you go through ebay motors, browse parts and then click 'classic car parts'. it takes you to 'other car parts' now instead of classic. you can still select austin and mini from manufacturers, but it doesn't show you all the same items as before.
how did you find 'classic car parts'?

I clicked on motors, then on the drop down there is Parts & Accessories then Classic car parts, then i clicked on other manufacturers and there are all of the listings like Austin, Hillman etc.

Right i can now see what you are on about. By clicking on Classic car parts even though the link shows it as classic the search box shows it as other car parts. I must say i never noticed that before as i normally then go to search by individual manufacturer. Another Ebay update that is rubbish then.

Must look more closely next time although there is more dross to look through. Apologies for that then.

Go on Ebay Motors, then browse parts, then classic car parts.

You end up in the same place. They do appear to have got rid of the category. Lord knows why.

Just another excuse not to use ebay. Mind you this may lead to bargains as there will be less exposure for items that have a poor title descriprion!!
