eBay categories

Hands up I am probably being a bit thick here and it is sitting right under my nose but....

Is there a definitive list of the category numbers within ebay ?

I am trying to set up some campaigns within the ebayparternetwork to look at specific categories (e.g. car sat nav) but can't find it anywhere.

I have been through the link Category numbers, but can't see any numerical values for creating the campaigns.

Can anyone help ??

Try this one for the UK

This one for the US

Cheers but its the same, there is no info there (i.e. category numbers) that I can seem to use to create the campaigns.

I am probably missing something really simple here,

Anyone else ?

The number in brackets is the category numbers (#12345)

[renamecor]

I cannot see any numbers in brackets, where are they appearing on your PC.

Are you logged in through your ebay account or not ?

[DioBach]

I've drawn you a diagram

Click on the links, you should see the numbers after each category.

That screen-shot appears to be for the ebay.com (us) site and not the UK site.

I went back to the 2 links you provided, clicked the .COM one and there were the numbers inside the brackets. However it is not the same for the .CO.UK !!

I don't know why there is a difference but I need the .CO.UK info

[DioBach]

Nope, they're there on the UK site as well, whether you're logged in or out. I just clicked the link I posted (and yours) and they're definitely there, as they have always been.

Make sure you select 'show category numbers' underneath the search box.

My .co.uk screen does not have that 'show category numbers' option anywhere on he page !!

Delete your temporary files on your browser (in Firefox it's Tools > Clear Private Data > Cache // in IE, it's Tools > Internet Options > General (tab) > Delete > Temporary Internet Files).

Then, visit Women's Clothing, DVDs, CDs, Records items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

If you need to log in, eBay will ask you for your user details. Otherwise, no login is necessary.

Hope this helps!

Deleted the temp files, no change.

I would bet it's your computer somehow that's affecting the site. I can see the category list on ebay and so can DioBach. So it's not eBay that's having trouble. The only real advice I could offer is to make sure your browser is the latest stable version. You could always try using a different browser too.

Clearing the temporary files would have forced a fresh download of the eBay page so if you can't see the category numbers after this, it is suggestive that your browser may be incompatible with eBay some how. :cry

It's not much help but I've attached a screenshot of all the category numbers on eBay.

I;m going to try those links on a different PC.

Cheers.

[renamecor]

Well I tried it on a different PC and that did not work either.

Anyway, CSN thanks for the screenshot, it is actually a big help and I can use the info from there.

Thanks again everyone.

Carl.
