How do I get my store's categories and other things to show up on an item's listing?

[standard-bearer]

So if i goto another seller's listing I can see their stores categories with a search bar all their categories etc. Mine doesn't have that, something i'm missing?

Thanks in advance

Yours has that, too. I see Diecast and Video Games. I can't speak to why you can't see it, though... sorry.

When you list your item, you can choose your Store category on the listing template.  Lets me choose up to 2.

You can set your Store to show e-Bay categories or your categories under Store settings.  Pick one or the other.  Good luck!

You're talking about the area to the left of the item description @standard-bearer? That's part of the store listing frame. eBay got rid of listing frame edit functionality when rolling out the store changes last year.

Yea thats what I mean, so other people are grandfathered in and i'm just SOL? Because I can see it on other people's listings.

I think it will eventually disappear from others' listings once eBay starts getting rid of old store code. Personally I like it and hope eBay doesn't get rid of it. I'd much rather see them add that functionality back in.

From this week's ebay for business podcast transcript:

Sellers can still update the listing frame using a direct link to the old store listing frame page, which although it does seem to have disappeared from the site, it does exist. However, it's too long to provide on the air. You know, those eBay URLs that go on for like a paragraph. So we'll put a link in the episode, 174 transcript, but a link to this page is also included at the bottom of the Managed Store's Help page, which is available in Help somewhere. And I'll put a link to that as well.

Brian: The Product Team didn't include it in the store tab as targeted to be deprecated by the end of 2021. But that deprecation has moved to the end of Q1 of this year.

Griff: Exactly. And the Product Team in charge of Stores is working on a new and upgraded version of this editing feature for listing frames as part of the new store experience. And it will be released sometime in Q1. It will be automatically set up for sellers. So you'll see it more easily at that point. And once we have more information about the new management feature for listing frames, that experience and it's been released we'll of course talk about it here on the podcast. So I hope that's good news.

Well that seems promising at least! Thanks
