"Category Questions" are questions that you have set up to be used only in a specific category. They are fields that will be filled in by sellers during the place and listing process to help them display a more clear and concise definition of their item without having to cover all of the details in their description. Their answers will be displayed in a list format on the Listing Detail Page.

Another fine feature associated with Category Questions is that they are search page dynamic. What this means is that when a site visitor is browsing a category of your site and they click on the "search" button, they will be taken to the "search page", as usual. However, if the category they were just browsing had Category Questions assigned to it, those same Category Questions will now dynamically appear on the search page as search criteria values for the visitor to use in their search.

To implement a Category Specific Question in one of your categories, simply click the "categories" button in the admin. From the categories administration page, determine the category you want to add a question to, and click the "edit" button in the "edit category questions" column associated with that category. From this page, select the link that says "click to add a question to this category". Now, follow the instructions on the page to give your category question a name, explanation (if applicable), choice of answer method, whether or not to display an ‘other’ box, and finally the order you want your Category Specific Question to be displayed with reference to the other questions you will set up for this category. That’s all there is to it. You will have just entered a Category Question.

When creating a Category Question, you can enter it into any category or subcategory, by following the same procedure outlined above. Keep in mind that Category Questions will not only display in the category they were entered, but also all of that category’s subcategories.

If you decide at a later time that you need to duplicate all of your Category Questions into another category, this can be done easily, by clicking on the "copy category questions to another category" link located on the front page of the Categories administration page.
