The Specified Catagory Is Invalid

THANK YOU

THANK YOU for getting eBay Motors Catagories up and going. As I usually sell classic automotive parts and accessories I've been waiting!

I went to post my first ad this morning . . . used the 'Browse' option to select catagory, which your software did quite well . . . however when I go to Post

(~which was doing quite well this morning, also~)

this eBay Motors listing I get "The Specified Catagory is Invalid" Error box and my listing won't post. Am I doing something wrong . . . or will this just be an early stage bug thing?

Everything has been very quick and functional this morning though . . . my compliments!

Since support for eBay motors parts is new, it's possible there may be a few bugs in it that we didn't catch with our testing.

Which specific category are you trying to post to? I'll have someone here try it out and see what happens.

I tried Posting the listing again a couple more times this afternoon and still go the same error message.

The last time I tried to post - just now . . . I got the same red error window, but this time the message read:

"The following 1 listing (s) was unable to post because they did not pass validation and need to be edited before posting"

Meaning what? Just a polite way of telling me that my catagory was invalid, or are we making progress here?

Will keep trying . . . thanks for help!

Nothing works now - could only get to this forum, and that was through an e-mail link. Seems like even eBay and PayPal running slow today. Heavy traffic load - that should be good!

Turns out "newly created" listings were working okay, but if you saved your listing and then tried to go back to the saved listing and then post it, it would fail.

This has been fixed, so as far as I know, all bugs with posting to eBay Motors Parts and Accessories are fixed.

Let us know if you notice anything else.

Hi fadi,

To select categories from within eBay Motors, you must first select "eBay Motors" from the "eBay site" pull down menu at the upper right of the lister page. Once you have done this, the eBay Motors lister form will load and you will be able to select the appropriate categories.
