Hello, a couple questions:
1. I am getting ready to list a vintage beer coaster from Germany. It is printed with an advertisement for a boxing match between Albert Westphal and Ernest Zech on September 29, 1963 in Hamburg.
I realize there's a category for Collectibles>Breweriana, Beer>Coasters, but I am thinking this item might be more interesting to someone who collects boxing-related memorabilia.
Is there anyone who sells sports memorabilia that could suggest what category this would fit best in within the "Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop" category?
2. Larger question: does it matter? In other words, would a potential buyer find it in either category, whether they collect coaters, boxing items, or both? My instinct is to get it into the right category but maybe with keywords it doesn't matter?

1st; overall probably doesn't matter (if both charge the same Final Value Fee) as 95% of people search by 'using words in the search' vs. perusing 'categories...but
You CAN list in 2 categories, cost as an 'extra' listing (1 more free, or .10 or .35 depending on if you have a store and which type).

Gotcha, thank you. I had a hunch keyword searches really take precedence over categories since there is so much overlap. I appreciate your response.
