Ebay adds a category that doesn't exist to my listing

[iamonourside]

I have a collectible lamp listed in category "Collectibles > Lamps, Lighting > Lamps".

In the listing, however, the category is shown as "Collectibles>Collectible Lighting & Lamps>
Martz Lamp".

The word "Martz" is added to the category. I looked it up, Martz lamps are ceramic lamps with incised decoration, specifically produced by Marshall Studios in the 1950s. The name may have become generalized to mid century ceramic lamps with incised decoration by any maker, but my lamp is not even ceramic, and neither are the lava lamps also shown in this "category".

I've double checked that there is NO reference to Martz in my listing. That is, I did not accidentally show it as maker, style, or type in item specifics.

Please, does anyone know what is going on?

It might have something to do with this.

@eunster1313 , thank you very much. The announced changes do not include this lamps category.

Collectible Lighting & Lamps
The link under that says lamps.

It goes to the Martz lamp.

Seems some one fixed some thing that was not broke:  again....

So if you listed under lamps it was auto put under Martz...
