Ebay Listing issue – item categories

[russellmattin]

Has anyone noticed a recent change in `suggested categories` when listing new items...eg 

Item title…..

5 x BARBARA STREISAND VINYL LP RECORD ALBUMS 1970s

Change category…..

Suggested

Coins > Coins > World > Latin America/Caribbean

Coins > Coins > World > Asia

Crafts > Needlecrafts & Yarn > Crocheting & Knitting > Other Crocheting & Knitting

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH …A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. THESE SUGGESTIONS WERE WORKING VERY WILL UNTIL AROUND END OF MARCH AND WERE PROBABLY 98% ACCURATE BEFORE…NOW THEY ARE ABOUT 2% ACCURATE.  Whatever has been changed needs to be undone, if its using AI then just scrap it!

yes this has been going on for weeks now , i worry that if the correct categories are not being suggested , when a customer searches does it make the same mistake and take them somewhere else

Yep, something has gone wrong somewhere....there's a posting in seller central from somebody trying to list a book about braking systems and was suggested 'Canadian Stamps' !

(I wonder if it's an unwanted side-effect from all the huge changes happenning associated with the BPF , S.D.  and etc..... the AI has got too much on it's plate and keeps dropping *bleep*..... if you'll pardon my mixed metaphors 😆)

Edit....Oh for heavens sake.... I only wanted to say 'dropping small round objects used in sports like tennis' 😠 !! get a sense of proportion ebay.....
