Listing things in the wrong category

Wait, I thought you weren't allowed to sell food or perishable items on e-bay. Unless I am wrong, you are in the wrong catagory no matter what you do, so have at it.

No, I never have done that but it's a good idea.

hm... haven't really tried selling in the wrong category yet.... i just started to sell there this month. i use the same username here for my store there in ebay. So maybe i'll comment some more when i'm a regular ebay seller. I don't really know if it's good for sales if you put an item in the wrong category...

I would think that you shouldn't be even slightly dishonest. Consider, will someone think you are a trustworthy person if the come to believe you are intentionally miss-listing your product? If you want to reach other eyes with such a tactic, perhaps you could go to some garage sales or salvation army and get some jewelry like item which you could list for sale. You might then see your product showing up for the new potential customer as something else that you sell. (I don't do much ebaying, but I seem to recall seeing "other items for sale by this seller" when I've browsed it before.)

Ni i never did this. I think if item is listed in wrong category, ebay will recognize that and remove this or move it to appropriate category

It does seem like a good way to get more people to see your listing, but my understanding is that it's against Ebay rules and they'll take it pretty seriously if you're caught...
