got strange email from amazon
 

saying that my item for sale was in wrong category

i cannot move category as there is only one storeowner selling the item and about 5 other people selling of his item

they say if i dont move category in 2 days then it will be removed

I've never heard of an email like that. If you're sure it's from Amazon and you have a legit phone number on file with them I would use their phone interface, have them call and ask a CS rep. to put the item in the right category.

Otherwise, I would do what they ask and periodically check to see if the item's been moved and add it on.

Sometimes sellers miscategorize items on purpose because the item that they want to sell is in a restricted category. You can't do much about that unless you can get approval to sell in those categories.

If that email is genuine, and you are unable to move your item as requested, ask Amazon CS for help. If that doesn't fly, then take that item down until you CAN comply. Do not just 'forget about it'.
