Issue Finding A Certain Item Category
I have an old BAYONET. I checked completed auctions and most similar items were listed under:
Collectibles & Art - Original Period Items - United States - Edged Weapons
but I cannot get to this category after numerous attempts.
Anyone have an idea?

Can you show me an example of a listing in that category?
Collectibles & Art is like an "Umbrella" grouping, not a category. It can't be selected.
Instead, select the category shown in the 2nd part after "Collectibles & Art"
Examples:
Collectibles & Art > Art>
or
Collectibles & Art > Collectibles
So it will be Collectibles then likely
Militaria
or
Knives, Swords & Blades
But I realize that isn't exactly the category you are looking for - thus I want to see the listing.

OP9 months agoThanks for your reply.
A previously sold item - 326834151002 took a similar Category path:
Collectibles & Art
Original Period Items
United States
Edged Weapons
I have tried this route but cannot follow this path for some reason. After I enter Collectibles & Art, Original Period Items does not show up.
I am just trying to find out where I am going wrong.

It is a bit confusing, but working backwards, the full path appears to be:
Collectibles & Art
Collectibles
Militaria
WW II (1939-1945)
Original Period Items
United States
Edged Weapons

OP9 months agoAgain, thanks for your help. I do not normally sell this sort of item so I am not as familiar with this process.
Ended up with: Edged Weapons

That looks good.
When there is a long path for the category, sometimes you have to click the 3 dots ⋯ to see what's hidden behind them.
Here you can see the 3 steps that were compressed and hidden with the 3 dots ⋯
Hope this helps in the future.
