 No german, you can have three LEVELS of categories, in other words, you can have a Clothing Category, with sub categories for Childrens wear, Mens and Ladieswear etc, and then sub sub categories for each size in each sub caegory.

 Set up your main cats first german, then select each category one at a time in the top box on the right, use the Subcategory box on the left to create subcats under this category and you will see them come up in the box below the main cats on the right.  When you have the subcats doen for one cat, go back to the top box on te right and select the next cat and do it all again.

If you have third level cats to add, select the subcat from the middle box on the rightr nad use the next box down on the left to add subs to that.  Another box will fill up below the subs on the right.

That sounds confusing even to me, I hope I haven't made it worse, lol.

but it is typical,quicksales must expect people to be uni graduates of IT, to understand their stupid way of doing things,it shouldn't be that hard,but they make it that way

 german, you don't have to withdraw items if they are in the wrong category, follow the instructions I gave you last week to change the categories on the Quick Edit screen.

Well Done German

It easy when you know how I also had trouble with the categories when I first started

yep. subcategories are more important to explore more about your product.
