Ebay category names and numbers (Full List)

[wibui]

Hi,

can any expert seller tell me where to find the latest Excel file containing the category with corresponding category IDs please?

some thread pointed me to http://sellercentre.ebay.com.au/News/category-changes

but sadly all excel files there are outdated...........

the completed list with multi variation on that page is NOV 2015!!!

the change list does not seem up to date because the new ID such as 11197 etc are not included in this file,

can anyone help please? thanks

It does appear that one can only access the outdated category excel file via the announcements re category changes

Tried to find an alternate link to the sheet with no luck - will keep having a hunt around.

Thank you

Gosh thats buried.  Shame they can't link it from the category help page - where most people would look.

Looks to be an updated one too, but I am not across all the new categories.

you are a genius! much more knowledgeable than those folks working in ebay who have no idea what they are doing except getting paid to do something to mess up the old systems, like linking to an 2015 file in a 2016 seller release, broken links, and there are too examples like these...

and the link to the csv seems to be up to date, it's amazing where ebay hide such information,

the normal seller page SYI page used to have a category browser which shows the Cat ID for a category, now the new browser removed the field for the ID so you can't look up the ID manually, I am too frustrated everytime ebay made an 'improvement' and took away a piece of important information, I think ebay is operated by people who don't really understand the many selling processes and they only have a fixated model in mind.

Thanks again,
