Second Category. Listing fees every month? sorry if I am spamming, but please help

[erg-auto-electrical-wholesalers]

I have 200 free listings as I have the basic store package.

I have more than 1 category, so I must pay a fee right for each item in a different category? And, I must pay that fee every month. I have buy it now, good till cancelled.

If so, how can I get past this idiotic thing. I mean what is the point of paying for 200 free items if you can only have 1 category. Or, It that 1 category, and many subcategories?

I mean can I just put 1 category, and lots of subcategories under that 1 category to get the free listings.. For example is 'Starter Motor components'  1 category, and all sub categories under that still be able to put free listings?

Instead of 7 or 8 categories, and sub categories for each of those with listings.?

What is the point of having the basic store if you can only have 1 category?

Please look at my store

This is what I am stuck at

For listings with multiple items (including listings with variations), you only pay one insertion fee.

Am i only paying 1 insertion fee regardless if it does not sell every month.. that is what I am trying to work out.

Just a one off fee to list the item initially.

You can use your free listings for BN listings in one category per listing.  It doesn't matter how many different categories you have, as long as you only select one of those categories for each listing.  If you want a listing to appear in two different categories, that is when you will pay the extra listing fee.

Multiple quantity listings only use one listing off your free allowance, but if you have selling limits, they count as one item each.  In other words, If you create a listing for starter motors with a quantity of 10, it only uses one free listing, but it counts as 10 listings towards your monthly listing limit if you have one.
