For sellers of photography, eBay does require that vintage images must be
over ten years old.  I don't know if this also holds for vintage:cameras.

Thus I am not permitted to sell my stereo views under a stereo related
category.  I am sure this hurts the visibility of my auctions, because I
believe buyers for art (and stereo cards) do browse the category.  I
imagine many are unaware of contemporary work being done in the stereocard
format, and the eBay policy will keep them unaware.

Dalia suggested that only power sellers complain to eBay about such unfair
restrictions.  I'm not yet a power seller... will they not listen to me?

Dr. T, will you have trouble selling those "vintage" bogen slide bars under
a vintage:cameras:stereo category?
