Almost got charged $1 for revising an item?

[fergua3]

I was changing the category of one of my items because Ebay stuck it in the wrong sub category when they added all their new sub categories.  So i moved it and was about to click 'revise' when i noticed the $1 plus tax charge.  What's up with that?

So i left it in the wrong sub category.  They didn't really have one that was applicable to my item anyway, in spite of having about 5 layers of sub categories to fill in.   🙄

Maybe they thought you were adding a second category, because they do charge for that with the rationale that more people might see it.

Sorry I don't know how to put the link in here but if you search "Adding a category to your listing" you can find it but this is part of it:

How to list in two categories

Listing in two categories increases the chances that your item will get in front of an interested buyer.

To add a second category, select Add a second category in the Product details section of the listing form.

You'll pay an insertion fee for including a second category – this fee still applies even when using a free listing. If you list in 2 categories, the greater of the two final value fees will apply.

In the past I've heard of charges being shown on the syi form but not actually being charged.  I don't know if that's what's happening in your case though.

Fees for a second category  wouldn't  be as high as a $1 unless there was an optional upgrade on the original listing. I don't know for sure but I think that for a non store the 2nd category would be approx .35
