Some people think it's easy to choose the right eBay category, and often
it is. Sometimes, though, it might not be quite clear exactly what to
go for.
Why is it Even Important?
Plenty of people use the category system to find items, when they're not
looking for something specific. If your item is listed in the wrong
category - or you've just given up and listed it in 'Everything Else' -
then these people aren't going to find your auction.
Also, listing items in the wrong categories is against eBay's rules, and
eBay say they will remove any auctions that are wrongly categorised.
They don't often actually do this, but it's not worth the risk -
especially since breaking any rules can cause them to penalise your
account, including losing PowerSeller status if you have it.
