Thread Title: "Changes to our Listing Categories...adding Sub-categories"
AA-bob Hi, Folks. Manny is rolling out a long awaited enhancement to the site this morning allowing us to place sub-categories under major category headings.

This enhancement will allow your items to be placed in specific sub-categories under each of the Major Categories, like "Firearms: Rifles: Bolt Action" or "Firearms: Rifles: Semi-Auto:".

This exciting new feature, of course, will be a major enhancement that will allow Buyers an easier way to find what they are interested in and for Sellers to list items into more specific categories for increased visibility to buyers interested in that sort of offering.

We think you'll like this new feature.

You may also notice that some old major categories are now appearing as Sub Categories. Ammunition for example will now have the Collectible Ammunition and Reloading gear and components as sub-categories.

Although we've tested this new feature extensively, while Manny is rolling this out today, you might receive an error message when you are doing your new listings as we work out the bugs.

If you get an error message while listing items, please copy and paste the error message into an email to me (bob@auctionarms.com) so we can get on correcting the bug in a hurry.

We think you'll like this new upgrade, let us know what you think.

AuctionArmsCeo How are you relisting the item? Are you using Bulk Relisting, Quick Relisting, or the normal Relist procedure? Did you check the category and sub-category of the item to be relisted, before and after? I've been trying to chase this down, and your help is greatly appreciated.

gov2mod Manny, I almost always use the bulk relist. The only other one I would use is the plain relist when I want to edit some information when I am relisting that particular item. I'm not saying that I never make any mistakes when listing but to have 49 out of the first 100 items in the "other" section of each (gun leather, magazines, optics) category is way off. I am pretty careful of going over the auction and making sure it's in the correct category etc. before I list it. I do think that the problem happened sometime in the past though as it looks as if the items that I changed last week have remained in their proper subcategories. I'll keep going over them and let you know if I see anything else out of place. Thanks for your help. John

(no avatar) i've also been having the same problem when using the bulk relist, it seems to change the sub-catagories on me...i've noticed in the Antiques section, it will take the gun and move it from Antique Firearm to Antique Non-Firearm.

gov2mod Manny, see I knew it wasn't just me. I might be wrong some of the time but not all of the time!

AuctionArmsCeo I think I've got this problem fixed. Let me know if any item you've listed since the 21st of March has suddenly "switched" categories. Please include the new and the old item number. Thanks.

gov2mod The only one I noticed was auction 7311905 today. It changed from grips to accessories. I'm certain I listed it as "grips" last week.

(no avatar) I had an auction sold today, and then I relisted because I have more of the item. It clearly was Semi-Auto Pistol. When I got back to Manage My Auctions, it said Accessories. I needed to Edit and change it back. If you would like the auction number, please let me know.

Seller: AuctionArmsCeo(3-0-0) Post#29 - Posted: 03/29/2006 at 21:45:05
AuctionArmsCeo Absolutely. I need the auction number that the item was, and the new relisted item number. That would be a great help.

gov2mod I didn't have as many this week as last but still a few. Some of them I may have missed when I check last week. 7329317 is under Accessories, last(7300310)week it was also under accessories, but the week before when it was auction 7285777 it was under black powder. 7330818 is under Accessories, back when it was #7274588, it was under black powder
