Hi Community,

We are going to be updating our categories to reflect the recent changes eBay has made to their category structure later today, so the current categories that are available on the eBay website should also be available through Auctiva by this evening.

Any additional questions or concerns? Please contact our customer support department using the appropriate link on our help page: http://www.auctiva.com/free-auction-software-help/help.aspx

If the categories aren't working for you, use the link OR the help button at the top of the page and file a support request. Auctiva tries their best to keep up with Ebay's changes, btw.

And as far as the listings not showing in your store right away, that will happen when you use any 3rd party service, not just Auctiva. Ebay is the one that pulls listings for fraud check and does the indexing. I've had auctions take over 6 hours to be searchable even when I listed directly thru Ebay I think it only happens the first time you list with an Ebay store, not sure on that one tho...Hang in there you'll be glad you did.

Hi nstrailersales,

Thanks for pointing this out. We experienced a technical hiccup with the category update we conducted last night, and the bicycle categories were some of those that were affected. This issue has since been resolved so you should now be able to select the appropriate categories in which to list your bicycles from the Auctiva lister page without encountering that error.

Also, the reason your new listings take a few hours to show up in your eBay store is because they must go through eBay's "indexing" process. This is not an Auctiva specific issue and, if you would like to read more about it, you can do so on the following page of eBay's help index: http://pages.ebay.com/help/find/questions/wheres-my-item.html
