Listing in two categories


Reach more buyers and generate more interest in your item by listing in two categories. For example, you could list a vintage table from Japan in both the Asian Antiques category and the Antique Furniture category.

Fees

Listing in two categories increases your insertion fee and the fees for most listing upgrades (for example, Bold or Gallery).

Fees for Scheduled Listings, Motors Home Page Featured, and Final Value Fees remain the same whether you list in one category or two. 

For specific fee information, see the listing upgrade fees section of Fees page.

Restrictions on eBay.com

Sellers can list in any two categories except the following:

  • Real estate: Listing in two categories isn't available.

  • Multiple item listings with variations: When listing with variations, you might want to consider listing in one category only. Currently most categories permit variations within:

    • Clothing, Shoes & Accesories

    • Baby

    • Sports

    Listing with variations depend on variation details and item specifics that might not be available in a second category. If you select a second category that does not allow listings with variations, you won't be able to create variations in the listing.

  • Business & Industrial-Capital Equipment: Listing in two categories is not available.

Note: Always list your item in appropriate categories. eBay investigates complaints and will move your item if necessary.

eBay Motor items

You can get exposure for vehicle parts and accessories on both eBay.com and eBay Motors with one listing.

For example you can list:

  • A car stereo in the Parts & Accessories category of Motors as a primary category and the Consumer Electronics category on eBay.com as a second category

  • An item on eBay.com in any category and choose Parts & Accessories on eBay Motors as a second category

  • An item on eBay Motors in the Parts & Accessories category as a primary category and choose a second category on eBay.com

  • A car stereo in the Consumer Electronics category on eBay.com as a primary category and the Parts & Accessories category on eBay Motors as a second category

  • An item in two different Parts & Accessories categories on eBay Motors
