The page at Home > My eBay > Manage My Store > Store Categories seems to have issues. Maybe a CSS or Stylesheet problem? The links on the page work but not the buttons and the page is formatted strangely. Tried it on different browsers (FF and Chrome) with same result.

I don't have a store so can't look.
You might be able to see if something is failing to load using the network tab of the web developer tools in Chrome or Firefox (CTRL-SHIFT-Q in Firefox) If you open that tool and monitor a load of that store management page by reloading it via F5, it should show you pages that return a 404 not found status on the left. Look for things like https://ir.ebaystatic.com/rs/v/10341xh50yz21mhhydueu4m5wad.js or files that end in .css failing to load. 304 status indicates a cached file - that would be a good time to do a full page reload via CTRL-F5 to force a reload from the server, and see if anything changes on the page. That exercise might reveal why the page is failing.
This is the type of problem that clearing cache (and cookies for good measure) can sometimes fix in cases where ebay swapped out some scripts or stylesheets, and your browser is still pulling the stale, cached versions. (My goto "try an older browser" is probably not a workaround for this type of thing.)
Another possibility would be to try a Seller Hub path instead of the My eBay path to that functionality if it exists. Start here and see if there are store management features you can access from the menu bar at top, or the shortcuts, or seller tools panels: https://www.ebay.com/sh/ovw

It all works perfectly until I want to create new categories to match my evolving product offerings...figures!
At least I know it’s nothing on my end.

You may see this issue with other pages. I have noticed it with the FileExchange pages.
It appears that eBay has added 'Advertising Preferences' to each of these pages. Something there is causing the style sheet to malfunction.
I have reported it, but there may be a wait for this to be addressed.
The Add categories button, may be part of this, but I do not know. It is not working from SellerHub, either.

Surely these trivial inconveniences to sellers are a thing of the past...

If you scroll down, you can see the rest, but the Add categories button is not working.
I have reported this.

Day 2 and still broken I see. With the weekend coming, this is going to impact sales and on a good sales weekends also with the holiday and bad weather.. normally translates into decent sales.
Will eBay refund our store subscription fee for the month since w are apparently paying for something that does not work.. or "significantly not as described?"
Get on this ebay. FIX IT NOW

I'm on the phone with an eBay seller support person, and she was able to replicate the error on her end. She was unable to add categories/sub-categories. She's escalating this issue to the technical team, but gave me no timeline as to when the problem would be resolved. Hopefully it will be done soon, since I have a lot of category editing to do.
