HI,

You must be referring the eBay category that is displayed on the Auction lot under the Auction Title line?? If so, you cannot get rid of that category. All auctions, regardless of format, must be submitted in a regular Category.

The eBay Store categories are user defined by you. You get to set up your store the way you like it. And the "search" box inside your store, searches your eBay store only. Not the entire site.

The "Search" box on the top of every page, searches the entire eBay site.

you want to submit your Auctions to eBay categories as well as your very own user defined categories. Your store Auctions will pull up in some of the regular searches. That is if there are 20 or less of a particular item. So it is a good thing to submit to the eBay defined categories as well as your eBay store.

don't forget to update your AW2K program every Tuesday afternoon. Go to Tools | Check for program updates. Every single week eBay changes categories and Item specifics. AW2000 tech support always releases those updates usually on Tuesday sometime. Or that is when I find them anyway

Hope that helps??

Good luck listing.
