Thread: Listing Item with multiple store categories

  1. #1

    Default Listing Item with multiple store categories

    Is it possible to list an item in multiple store categories? For example, I have a category for all biplanes nd a category for later era planes, and am planning to add one for seaplanes.

    Sooo...I have swordfishes in stock, which are WWI manufacture biplanes, which rose to fame in WWII by crippling the bismarck, and are seaplanes.

    So the swordfish wold fit into three of my categories....

    If the plane is NOT in one of those categories I might miss a hit from someone looking for seaplanes specifically, or looking for WWI airplanes, or looking for random wwii era planes and seeing the swordfish there...

    So I double listed this particular aircraft, one in WWII airplanes and the other in WWI biplanes, and will have to add a third to get coverage in the seaplane category!

    So can I just add the plane to multiple categories? If so is it easy? Sorry my eyesight's horrid and navigating new systems is difficult for me!

    Pardon the "duplicate" listings I need them for coverage in my store categories!

    Thanks!

    It doesn't matter whether we pardon them or not - eBid will likely delete them as duplicate listings break eBid's listing rules.

    It is not currently possible to list items with identical titles at all - they will be unceremoniously deleted, wasting a load of your time, OP.
    However, I sympathise with your problem because I have it too. I want to put some knitting pattern books into two categories in my shop. Typically, I only have one of the item (2nd hand) so I can't list two items with (very slightly) different titles to get round the problem. When I have two, I just change the title a bit (it takes ingenuity but it can be done).
