Stupid eBay question of the day...

One of my many hats is that of Assistant Bookstore Coordinator of our local Friends of the Library. (It's a volunteer job.) Since I'm the only one there with an eBay account, it's fallen to me to start listing our growing collection of collectible books online. Forgive me if this question relates to books, but I think it's also applicable to coins.

So, the stupid eBay question of the day is...

...how do you list an item in two different subcategories within the same major category??

Example: I want to list a book in Books > Antiquarian & Collectible > History BUT I also want it in Books > Antiquarian & Collectible > Exploration & Travel. When I tried to do this the listing form gave me an error message that the second category was the same as the first.

Is it possible to put it in both?

The coin related version of this would be listing, say, a German euro proof set in Coins > World > Europe > Germany AND Coins > World > Mint, Proof Sets. (It's not really quite as necessary to get the extra coverage like this with coins, but in the book categories of eBay regular auctions are ruthless!)

Thanks!

(Be advised, this will be the first in a long, long series of Stupid eBay Questions image )

Oh, also... I'll have a special announcement shortly on a collection we received which will be of special interest to many among us here image

    Yes, you can list it in both. I have done such things before, but most often I think it is a wast of money. Just click on "list in second category" and go from there.

    Any Folio Society books?

    Books on ancient or English history?

    Books on coins, ancient artifacts?
