Categories not showing on listings

[taystea]

Anyone have any suggestions as to why the categories an item is listed in is not showing when I view an item. Sometimes I look at how others have an item listed to help me with how to list mine. This just recently disappeared. Thanks.

Anything they can think of to keep ya on the site longer

 I'm trying to get some answers on WHY?

@mam98031 

So did they tell you why?   Was it because " Plenty of buyers never even look at the category"?

You are assuming it is a bug or something.  I'm confident they are testing the placement.

No they did not.

Thanks for the info. Another stupid eBay change that wastes a sellers time. I use the search feature every time I have an item to list to determine the best category to list the item in. I look at the current items and the sold items. I use the category that had the most sales to list my item in. Being on top, I could see it immediately and move on to the next listing. Now, having to scroll down to the bottom of each listing, adds time to preparing a listing.  Time is money, doesn't eBay know that? How can we get them to put it back on top? Does eBay ever listen to sellers' frustration?

I sure hope they can back this change out soon, but in the meantime I use the method below to get around it.  Here is a copy/paste of what I posted in a similar discussion a few days ago. 

When you are viewing the posted item, go to the lower left of the main picture and click on the:  Have one to sell?  Sell now

The screen that comes up will have the category to view.  This method sucks though, as it litters your drafts folder with a copy of the item each time you do this!
