Can't change category when relisting an item anymore?

I was attempting to relist an item, but wanted to change the category or add a new category. I find that there is no longer an option to change or add categories.  Is this something new or is it just something weird with my particular category or computer? Do I have to just start over with a new listing to change the category on an item?

Use the bulk editor. Or select "sell similar." Or just punch "change" next the category option.

Yes, I can do 'sell similar', which is a new listing not a relist. But there is no 'change category' to click anymore when doing a simple relist.  Not on the listing I want to relist in a new category, anyway.  Just asking if the 'change category' option was gone for good, only gone in 'books-nonfiction' or just a momentary glitch.

Hmmm. . . .  Even when selecting 'sell similar', it STILL does not give me the option of changing the category!  What the heck!

dhbooksds, everything in your screen capture below 'subtitle' down to 'condition' is missing in my relist screen.  As I said, this may just be a new oddity in 'books-nonfiction'. I haven't been able to list in two categories if one was books-nonfiction for a while.  Can list in two categories if one is Books-Antiquarian & Collectible, but not if one is Nonfiction. Go figure.

Is the book in question in the ebay catalog? If so I wonder it that has something to do with this problem. I see that some books are improperly categorized as fiction that should not be, and if one selects that item from the catalog it automatically assigns it to fiction. As I recall I could not change the incorrect category to the correct one, so listed the item without using the catalog. May or may not be related.
