Selecting the correct category
I am wandering what is the correct category for newer brand new metal signs? I see listings using both Home and Garden and Collectibles for most and also seen some in ebay motors for the ones that depict car related art.
Home and Garden is taken from Store Subscription fixed price listing.
Collectibles is taken from Additional Fixed Price Free Insertions in Select Categories.
Since I have over 1000 items listed, using Home and Garden I will have to pay listing fees but if I list using collectibles its free since I have 10,000 free listings.
I just want to do the right thing so I don't get red flagged.

I don't think of a new or new reproduction sign as a Collectible, but whatever you choose is entirely up to you. I would choose the category you feel most buyers would search in, as some buyers may search within individual categories, instead of running an "all categories" search.
What chaps my hide is when sellers call reproduction signs "Vintage." It really mucks up searches.

Your probably looking for Collectables/advertising/reproduction signs.
Remember to " keep em low and go with the flow". Most true collectors want authentic and a certain period.

OP2 years agoNot all the signs I have are advertising. Some are comedy and some are cartoon like bugs bunny playing pool. Some are sports related.
