Accidentally listed item in two categories

I accidentally listed an item in two categories (forgot when I listed a new item). One of the categories is not relevant to the item so I wish to remove it. But the system will not let me. I have tried every alternative way of doing it, but cannot get past the first step. How can I remove a category?

Unless there are bids on the item, you should be able to go to Revise, click on Change category at the top, then just delete the one not relevant, and submit the revision. 


 


You won`t get any fees back though,  so unless it is a major issue I would not panic about it.

I've always found I can't eliminate one category when I've listed in two.  The only way I manage to overcome the problem is end the listing, then start again in one category.:-)

You may be right, I have never had to do it myself,  but have been able to change the category,  so may be edit the additional one to something closely relevant.

Tried this, It just didn't work.

I think you may be right about not being able to do it. I've reached my 30 free listings for the month so it would probably cost more to end listing and relist than just leaving it.
