I just had an item deleted because it was miscategorized. It was a domain name which I put in "Specialty Services>Web & Computer Services>Domain Names" as I always do. In the title I mentioned I was giving the buyer a bike and other items (if they wanted it/them) so this time I paid extra and put it in another category, "Sporting Goods>Cycling>Bicycles".
So, I've got the domain name in the correct category and I'm giving Ebay a little money to gain exposure in another appropriate category which gives buyers a chance to see something they're interested in which they might not ordinarily see, this is a win-win-win situation.
How can an item be miscategorized when it's in the right category and in another category that has an appropriate connection to the title? If I was just selling the domain name or if I was selling the domain name and giving away furniture then putting it in "Sporting Goods>Cycling>Bicycles" would definitely be a miscategorization, I would totally understand Ebay deleting it.
But this, I don't get it.
