Use the Report button.   There is one on every listing.  Don't expect ebay to do anything though, at least anything that you would notice.

Items listed in the wrong category?

We have been reporting wrong category listings for 2 years via the report button. Yet thousands of items like car seats, car parts, baby carriages, plastic toys, couches, computer laptops, that have nothing to do with Gemstones, mineral, fossils, and lapidary equipment are dumped into the Lapidary category each week. Ebay has not cleaned this up despite all of us buyers and sellers reporting this abuse for years. If dealers are being suspended (?) they just seem to re-register with a different name and zero sales and continue dumping items into the wrong category.  I reported about 20 items this morning, mostly car parts and car seats, and they are still there in the lapidary and equipment tools category with more coming behind the reported items. Good luck.

Apparently eBay has recently been automatically changing categories for some items.  In some cases changing items from "NO Fee Gallery Plus" to Categories with a $1.00 Fee. An item of mine was automatically charged a $1.00 Gallery Plus Fee today, when I checked my Glass Vase was moved to a Barware Glasses Category automatically by eBay. I've see other recent reports of eBay Category Changes and new Gallery Plus Fees from other sellers.

Give it a few days and the category will probably change itself.

I don't know. I had reported some and I don't think Ebay is doing anything about it.
