I haven't had a single person reply as to how long this is going to continue. How much longer will AW users be denied access to the ebay categories. Is ebay made at AW??? I did email ebay and haven't gotten a reply from them either. I need to list! Can anybody tell us when this problem will be fixed?

Hi Fireking1,
The problem is broken pages over at eBay that occured when they redid the way they display the category list with their numbers. If you check out the message boards at eBay, you will see that they are aware of the problem and are working on fixing it.
The following is the URL that shows all their listed categories:
The numbers beside them are the number of auctions in that category -- not the category number. If you wanted to obtain the category number, click on the category you would like to place your item in. The URL for the category will contain the category number. For example, say you wanted to list in the Barbie category under Dolls and Bears. Clicking on the link will bring you to the URL of all Barbie auctions. The URL is:
The category number is 247, as referenced by the URL. I know this is a bit tedious but it is the best way to obtain category numbers until the pages are fixed.
Problem is, I tried this last nite (Oct 9) when trying to launch items from inventory. 3 out of 5 errored out with the "not a leaf category" even tho the same category was used on all 5 listings.
