Here is a comment I made to EBAY online in their customer support section
“Under the category DVD’s and movies there are dedicated sub categories for discontinued formats like Laserdisc and VHS. But EBAY has made it confusing when listing a DVD or BLU-RAY disc. For example EBAY has a sub category called “ DVD,HD DVD & Blu-ray”. BLU-RAY is a separate format that is not compatible with DVD players and the discontinued HD-DVD format. BLU-RAY should have its separate category on EBAY to lesson consumer confusion. Also HD DVD is a dead format like Laserdisc and it should have its separate category. When EBAY created the “DVD, HD-DVD & Blu-ray” category it can lead to some consumers being confused when searching for movies. DVD, HD DVD & BLU-RAY are 3 separate formats that are not compatible with each other.
So please add a dedicated BLU-RAY subcategory under moves. BLU-RAY one the format war and it is a growing format that should have its own category. The dead Laserdisc and VHS format have their own category on EBAY, it would make so much business since for EBAY to also have a BLU-RAY category. You would get more people interested in listing and buying BLU-RAY’s with a dedicated category. Thanks for your time. “


**Update**
When listing a BLU-RAY on EBAY always use the automated UPC bar code method so that your item will be listed as a dedicated BLU-RAY disc. If you use the manual method without the barcode your listing will be grouped into one big category of “DVD, HD-DVD, & BLU-RAY”. It would be nice if one could manually list a BLU-RAY movie with the option of having a dedicated BLU-RAY category. The automated UPC barcode method allows the dedicated BLU-RAY category.

When one lists a item it still say “DVD, HD DVD & Blu-ray”. Also when one clicks on BLU-RAY it says “DVD, HD-DVD & Blu-ray”.

But when you click on it only blu rays are listed, so the end result is the same.

Ok I see now that when searching to purchase movies that under DVD, HD DVD & Blu ray there is a option to click on Blu-ray only. When listing a movie it bundles it into one category called “DVD, HD-DVD & Blu-ray.” With the option for a separate BLU-RAY categories later on in the auction.

** Perhaps this thread should be closed. There is another way to list BLU-RAY movies after the first screen **

See this link for what originally caused the confusion.

lol nice end to that discussion

There appears to be another problem with the way EBAY groups all 3 formats in one main category. To get the listing under the dedicated BLU-RAY category the UPC barcode needs to be used. When I tried to manually list a item on EBAY I did not see a option for BLU-RAY only. I had to use a automated barcode so that the category would be BLU-RAY only. The manual option would be nice in case one does not want to use the barcode.

Another thing I noticed about EBAY is that they do not offer Region A, B, and C information when listing a BLU-RAY movie. They still only have Region 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 which only applies to the DVD format. EBAY needs to update the BLU-RAY category and remove regions 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 and add region A,B, and C.

Ebay has better things to do, like fu*king up its search engine which had nothing wrong with it in the first place. Now I have to do an Advanced Search to get items that are worldwide. Thanks ebay, you morons!
