Vickie,
No, this is not the type of issue for which we need users to report categories in which they have seen this behavior in order to make sure they are all taken care of. We will just have to make one code change that will resolve the problem for all the categories that are impacted and I will keep you posted through your support case as more details on the status of that change become available.
When you are entering a value for one of these categories that appears on eBay's list but not ours, you do need to make sure to enter the value exactly how it appears in eBay's system to make sure it is categorized correctly with respect to the item specifics based sorting functionality.
I am not aware of a more efficient way to do this than to load up the category in question on the eBay "Sell your Item" form and take a look at the list that is provided there.
