LISTING CATEGORIZATION · Workflow idea

Choose a fitting category with the right product details in view.

For an authorized listing task, consult the current marketplace category tree, suggestions, compatibility properties, and item aspects for a selected category. Treat category suggestions as candidates rather than facts, verify required attributes for the correct marketplace, avoid inferring missing product properties, and have the seller approve changes before updating a live listing.
