I have an item that is appropriate for listing in 2 categories, can i do this?

I have an item that fits 2 categories equally well. Can I list in more than 1 category and if so, how do I do this? I didn’t see any option for listing in more than 1 category. Thanks in advance for any help I can get, I’m just learning Bonanza after moving from eBay.

Tom mentioned subcategories, but I don’t see how to create them. Can anyone shed a light on this for me please? Thanks in advance

You can only list a particular item in ONE main category. BTW, these match the main categories that eBay uses… it make importing items from eBay easier if you import from eBay.

However, in your Bonanza Booth, you can create your own CUSTOM categories and place that item into that custom category. This would allow buyers to easily sort and view your items by the kinds of items you have. This is very helpful, especially if you have lots of items. For example, the main category might be “DVD” but in your custom booth category, you could create something like “Movies for Kids” and have the item placed into that custom booth category.

Items can be placed into these custom booth categories (and sub-categories if you want them) either MANUALLY or AUTOMATICALLY. If you do it manually, use the Batch Editor to select the “Select custom booth category” and place the item(s) into that category. You must CREATE the custom booth categories prior to placing them (see help page link below).

You can add/edit the names of these categories any time you want to. If you use the manual method, you can only choose ONE custom booth category.

If you want the item to appear in more than one custom booth category, you must use AUTOMATIC placement. Automatic placement is done through the use of the listing’s title. Here’s the information you [URL removed]

Thanks for the info. I looked at the batch editor last night but it was late and a little confusing to me. I will give this a try as you suggested. Thanks again..
