Listing Removal in the right Category - MisCategorization policy

[jazzybazzar]

We have had our listing for the last 18 Months and sold over 150 pieces of
"MEADE USA 60x60 SPOTTING SCOPE Professional Monocular TRIPOD CASE BAG NEW"

Under the following Category: "Cameras > Telescopes, Binoculars > Binoculars"

And now the Listing has been removed, with a reason of violation of eBay's Miscategorization policy

Why we listed under this category because eBay does not have a MONOCULAR category on ebay.com.au, and 600+ sellers have listed there Monocular Spotting scopes under the same category. According to the eBay.com.au search results, these are the statistics of the search results

Please search for
1.)    “Spotting Scope” – 223 Results (Max) under Telescopes & Binoculars eBay.com.au Category
2.)    “Monocular” – 687 Results (Max) under Telescopes & Binoculars eBay.com.au Category
3.)    “Spotting Scope Monocular” – 57 Results (Max) under Telescopes & Binoculars eBay.com.au Category

Now if the product which we Listed is a MONOCULAR SPOTTING SCOPE, where does eBay expect us to list this product – eBay may suggest under SPORTS > HUNTING, because yes you have scopes there. BUT this is Not a Rifle scope, so cannot be used for Hunting. And anyway under Hunting you get the minimum occurrence of 8 compared to 57 for “Spotting Scope Monocular” – 57 Results (Max) under Telescopes & Binoculars.

Hence please fellow ebayers, do you think we have violated any LISTING POLICY under Miscategorization policy? Please can you give us your poll on this issue

@***super_nova***

The listing has existed in our store before the eBay Title character count was expanded, so yes we would have loved to put with, but having title length limited we could not put the the with

that is why I left out the "case" 🙂

or you can abbreviate something else:

MEADE USA 60x60 SPOTTING SCOPE Prof. Monocular with TRIPOD+CASE+BAG-NEW

or is it  Monocular with TRIPOD+CASE/BAG-NEW  ???
