How do you put an item in more than one category?

I was shopping in a booth just now and found the same item with the same listing number in more than one category. I have been wanting to do that but could not figure out how.

You don’t have to have a membership. If you are using custom booth categories and have it set to automatically assign your items to a category, then you can have items in multiple store custom categories. The system will look for the exact words of your categories in your title or description, then assign it to a category. One problem with that system, if you have a lot of extra words in your items, like Check out my other items and list them, then your item will also show in those categories. Example, if you are selling a necklace and put in We have matching earrings, then your necklace will show in necklace and earrings category.

This is exactly what I need to know!! I have been doing it manually because I was afraid I would get items in the wrong place if done automatically. I looked at your booth and it all seems to work so well. Thank you!!

Just make sure you have the exact words for your categories in your items.

Probably use the manually add items to categories option…

I think you have to have a paid membership to do that. I have actually been considering the paid memberships for that very reason

I have a gold membership. So I hope I have that capability.

You absolutely should. I think you can get it with the silver too. Maybe someone with the membership can answer because I will need to know too LOL

You don’t have to have a membership. I use auto category in my video booth, and i do not have a membership. You can have sub-categories if you are a member, that is the extra you get with the membership

Thanks for the info “people”…. was just listing NASCAR Christmas Ornaments and was perplexed as to the most effective category so collectors wont miss out..Researching items for Cost and Shipping comparison, dont offer you the category info for listing your reviewing….or do they? Am I not seeing this correctly?
