WTH did eBay do to their categories?

It looks like they've implemented a new search-based category system. It is horribly, horridly broken and useless. Can't just click on "Errors" or "Commemmoratives" any more, and there's no easy way to search for them since neither term is in their pop-up windows. Whoever thought this was an improvement should lose their job.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I was able to use the regular search, setting the category as "Coins and Paper Money" then did searches for "error" "commem" and "commemerative" and they all turned up a large number.

    I somehow got opted into a test of their new Search functions, I found the tiny link to opt out and it all went back to normal. It was so bad I actually found the relevant message board and ranted against it. All I can say is pray that they don't get implemented.

    Oh, PS: If the title abbreviation is really that offensive, I'll edit it out.

    Since it's useless and broken, we know it will get implemented.

    Personally I am less than impressed with EBays latest implementations! If there was some other venue that was available I'd bail in a second!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    It doesn't offend me, but I think we all should remember the RYNs (Really YNs) here.

    I got opted into that as well, and just as quickly opted OUT. Found it unintuitive and frustrating.

    If it ain't broke, beat the crap out of it.
