Hi, gang---

I'm not one to write too often about ebay, BUT....if you use ebay UK to find vintage British bits, you're in for something that will have you saying a big loud "Thanks"...

NOT!

Some turkey of a marketing whiz who doesn't know about how people actually SEARCH for parts has reorganized the CYCLING category and gotten rid of the VINTAGE PARTS sub-category. You can click on your FAVORITES Vintage Parts link, but it doesn't take you to anything resembling where you used to go.

Even when I click on a particular current or old auction listing categorized under VINTAGE PARTS and then click on the blue underlined category tree above the auction banner, it takes me to a totally useless menu with an appearing and disappearing screen with no VINTAGE PARTS sub-cat as an option. Welcome to the Brave New World of UK ebay's take on "Where's Waldo?"

Please someone tell me I'm wrong or haven't given the system enough of a chance...
