Do crafts fall into the Home & Garden category?

Hello :)

I was lucky enough to get the £10 voucher for the Home and Garden category today and I want to use it to buy some craft supplies I have my eye on.

When you hover over Home & Garden on the main Ebay page, crafts appears to be a subcategory, but I wondered if it really was before I do a buy it now for an item I can't afford really at full price.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    When I look at items the voucher IS valid on, there is a "voucher" bit listed below the "add to basket" button which tells me how much the item is less the £10 voucher (as if I couldn't work that out myself!!), but when I look at fabrics, the "voucher" bit isn't there. Is it there for the item you're looking at?

    ETA - Sorry took a while to get picture onto photobucket. It looks like this when I look at items:

    "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" - William Morris
    Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

    I got a voucher too :-)
    I went into the Home and Garden category today and bought a random item, if your item falls in that category you should be ok but I was not able to tell until I had checked out and committed to buy.
    At the worst you can cancel the transaction?

    Crafts are a section all of their own.

    The subcategories of Home and garden are:

    Bath
    Bedding
    Celebrations & Occasions
    Cleaning, Laundry & Vacuuming
    Clocks
    Conservatory, Patio & Barbecue
    Cooking & Kitchen Fittings
    Curtains & Blinds
    DIY Materials
    DIY Tools
    Fireplaces & Accessories
    Food & Drink
    Furniture
    Garden & Plants
    Heating/ Cooling/ Air
    Home Decor
    Lighting
    Luggage & Travel Accessories
    Major Appliances
    Metaphysical & New Age
    Rugs & Carpets
    Security & Home Automation
    Stationery & School Equipment
    Storage Solutions
    Tableware
    Other Home & Garden

    If you look at the top of the item you are buying you will see what category it's listed under in the following format (example for a hosepipe)

    Home & Garden > Garden & Plants > Hand Tools & Equipment > Watering Equipment > Hoses & Hose Reels
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    It should be £10 not 10%
    everyone that done the survey should get £10

    I didn't complete any surveys for ebay - was not invited to. But I have received two 10% off vouchers now.
