I'm finding some of the same frustrations. My time is limited and very precious to me so I get thoroughly annoyed when I want to browse a particular category, lets say furniture and behold, I find plants, babies, blankets, magazines, signs, vases, and well you get the idea. Maybe I am just cranky but I do think I have a point otherwise there would be no CATEGORIES! Its not like these items don't fit someplace else. I go out of my way not to buy from vendors that push their items this way. This really is too bad for the vendors that do not take advantage. Where are those Etsy police?
Well, let me now apologize for subjecting you to my rant and please know that the picture should not suggest that I am really to that point, I just thought it was cute. OK, me and my purse are off now, to the nice websites that catergorize their items correctly and don't waste my time ......

Dear Cheryl, you're right ...
Unfortunately we are victims of a system as the sole and ultimate goal has to sell anything, no matter what ...

I share your frustration, Cheryl. I have given up ebay entirely. But there is, unfortunately, alot of drek on etsy and it takes time to sift through it all. It is even harder when these are tagged inappropriately...but that is the seller's doing. I think monitoring that must be monumental for admins.

I agree, I try to tag right so customers can find my work :) I love the picture, some days I could shoot my computer hee hee.

Very pleasant photograph: -)) translated how you feel and you have right Ebay are negligent and complicated. Me disturbs that people grab ideas and they sell then for usurious prices. Are frequently much too expensive. Very unfortunate for the newcomers who not yet know this.
