Fees Category restrictions

Reach more buyers and generate more interest in your item by listing in 2 categories. For example, you could list a vintage table from Japan in both the Asian Antiques category and the Antique Furniture category.

Fees

Listing in 2 categories increases your insertion fee and the fees for most listing upgrades (for example, Bold). The fees for scheduled listings, and final value fees remain the same whether you list in 1 category or 2. 

For items listed in 2 categories, the final value fee is based on the fee schedule for the primary category.

For specific fee information, see the listing upgrade fees section of Fees for selling on eBay.
