A week ago eBay moved Boating and Boating related categories to eBay Motors. Except for a one-time blurb on the Announcement Board no other notice has been given to buyers or sellers.
I have sent numerous e-mails asking for some kind of help to let the buyers know about this major change. Most buyers do not check the Annoucement Board as a prerequisite to shopping on eBay. All I ask is to put a promo on the eBay Home Page about the change and put Boating in the list of Categories on eBay's Home Page(cars are there now). Most people looking for Boating Accessories are not going to go to eBay Motors automatically. It's an automotive site. I would not go to my local Ford dealer to look for a Boat Prop or a Life Jacket.
Sellers of Boating stuff need some help to re-direct folks from eBay to eBay Motors. To date, eBay's automated answers to my many e-mails indicate you just don't give a damn!

I was quite content with the way the categories were, had no problem finding anything. Now I have to make stabs in the dark, and usually never find what I was looking for unless I click on "related" link. The category pages are in total disaray. Just poorly designed.
