I don't know how much I will use those categories for listing because I only sell jewelry but I can see the value in it for other vintage sellers.; ▶ Reply to This

I think it will really help people to more easily find clothing by era. Before it was all sort of a mish mash of stuff from every era and hard to search through if you did not have the time to dedicate to your search. If everyone starts using these dating categories I think it can only help sales in the long run.; ▶ Reply to This

There's a tag for "book" which thrills me no end (I'm easy to please he heh), and buckles., but alas, no "button" one. I'll ask about that.
One thing that still puzzles me: When you click 'vintage' you get the 'commercial/handmade" drop-down. If it's vintage you didn't make it (unless you're-ahem-vintage yourself). You would think that, yes? But if you click on 'handmade' in the vintage drop-down, it gives you the regular, modern handmade tags. It's pretty much useless for vintage anything. I guess I'll write about both of those things, can't hurt.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, it may curb the willy-nilly listing of new/new-ish clothing ad vintage if people actually have to think about it first. Yes, I can be hopelessly optimistic, and curmudgeony at the same time :-); ▶ Reply to This
