    Then lower doen will be an area to set up parent & sub catagoeries. Once you set these up a list appears below with the catagories. For example some of mine in my store no 1 are
    5 Postcards
    5a Celebrity
    5b Castles
    5c transport
    5d animals
    5e seasonal
    5f birthday
    On the item page on the left is a store catagory id box in this you put your store number : followed by category code.
    So to put an item in the castles group I'd use 1:5b . If just putting in the store without a catagory I'd just put 1.
    I'm lazy so I just screen grabbed my lists for quick reference. Hope this help - even if my wording is a bit convoluted
    So the Ninja lister still works?

    Thank you all for the Store set up information and tips. I'm now all organised and online. I've noticed that in the last 2 days views, if not yet sales, have increased considerably.

But if you sell items under a tenner, with all the new fees, it's not worth doing, as they are beginning to find out. I'll persevere here!
    Just about given up. Sold 1 item since February. It seems unless you sell stamps this site is a graveyard.Tried everything. Even eBay is better than this and that's saying something.Disappointed.

    Whatever happened to the thread you started about not selling?

    It seems to have been deleted for some reason. I'll keep my account here as I foolishly paid £70, but I'm off elsewhere. Even Facebook Marketplace is better than this. Ebid is just not specialist enough for my main items, vinyl records. Just starting on Discogs.

    I had written about my experience with Discogs on that thread. I hope that's not the reason it got deleted. I still use Discogs to keep track of my collection. Good luck with it all.
