    Question Why are kilts not a category on ebay?

    Hi folks, this is something I have been wondering about for a little while. One would think with the popularity of the ultimate gartment, ebay would allow you to search kilts as a separate clothing category. Surely this would allow us to narrow down searches somewhat? Or perhaps I am missing a trick with how I am searching, so if anyone can suggest how I can refine my hunts, I'd appreciate it!

    When you put "kilt" or "kilts" in their search you get anything that has the word included in the description.

    I don't know if an email to Ebay asking for a separate category would get anywhere as even if they did the sellers determine the category and could still well put kilt for kilt related items just as they do in their descriptions.

    Searching for 'kilt' can result in lots of unwanted items, so you might consider more specific arguments, such as
    including the waist measurement [kilt 32],
    kiltmaker [utilikilt -or- alpha kilt],
    tartan [kilt stewart]

    You can also eliminate items from the search by preceding them with a hyphen [ - ], for example, kilt -skirt -apron -pin -koozie -belt -buckle -rowdy [and so on ...]

    Ebay auto suggest has:
    scottish kilts
    mens kilts
    irish kilts

    It will still return anything with kilt, like kilt hose, kilt jacket, etc. I see that as a benefit, however, not a hindrance. I need to put together an outfit, I'm always on the lookout.....
