What is inappropriate? It looks like a good auction.

He's making it harder to find than if he listed it appropriately, such
as:

Business & Industrial > Electronic Components > Passive Components
My ebay searches always look in all categories, so I never would have seen the
"bozo" cause. I may have posted a bid if the beer was included. That isn't
fit to drink, but is good in which to cook a roast.

Thanks

Sometimes you run into excessive hits of unrelated items and you need
to limit the search to the desired category.

Furthermore, it makes life exceedingly difficult for those of us
searching for a limited subset of an item. For example, searching for
"transistor" will get you a zillion transistor radios and such consumer
items with the word transistor in it, which happened to be very common
back in the days when that word was a selling point to differentiate the
items from the old tube equipment. When I'm searching for components,
I'm not going to include those consumer categories for this very reason,
because I don't want to see hundreds of transistor radios!

The only way I can see to eliminate all those 'transistor radios' from
the wide open, categoryless search is to exclude all those brand names,
such as Sony, Zenith, Panasonic, etc. And even then, you will still get
dozens of them that you missed. And then you have the problem that
Motorola made both components and consumer electronics with the Motorola
name, so you will miss all the components with 'Motorola' if you exclude
it.

So sellers, give us a break will you? Put your components in
components, _not_ in consumer electronics, etc.!! Or else expect the
consequences to be exclusion from searches, and zero bids.

One other point. What would _you_ expect to find in this categeory?
"Consumer Electronics > Gadgets & Other Electronics > Other Gadgets"
I would expect to find things such as handheld GPS units and similar.
Not components!

Sometimes? More like most of the time!

And it gets worse and worse, all the time!
