Arrrgh! Does anyone else get this????

Anyway, does anyone know how to make your item show up under the 8mm section under the Film Format/DVD Movies section when you're listing an item? I believe there's a specific category number involved, yet, when listing an item, it does not give you the option to say where it is placed, and winds up under 'Not Specified' format.

LOL... well, there has to be a category number specific to 8MM under Film Formats, under Film, under DVD/Movies. The three Peggys I encountered last night seemed clueless, and the last one transferred my call to someone at PayPal, after a 20 minute wait. Geez!

Are you having problems getting to the right category. There is only:

DVDs & Movies > DVDs & Movies > Film

with sub-category you choose in your auction: super 8mm whcih you have to type yourself. The default is 16mm

Larry, yes, that's what I see when I set up the listing.... but the formats are separated under Film: 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, and 'Not Specified'... and my listing, and a majority of the listings are there, under the 'not specified' category under 'Film'.... so, how do the 600+ listings manage to be under 8mm? There has to be separating sub-codes under 'Film' for other sellers to be able to choose the format.

If they are from another Ebay site such as UK, they have seperate catagories.

Be sure to use 8MM or s8mm in your title also. If you do not use those or use a space between the 8 & mm, your item will end up in the Not Specified category.

Wayne! Thank you so much.... I only had 'Super 8' in the title, so I revised them, and now it shows under 8mm. Thanks, man!
