Detailed Description

   The reason you are getting this error is because Listing item in two categories functionality is not available for Dutch Auction.

   There are restrictions when listing item in two categories.

    On eBay.com, you can't list following items in Two Categories:

    Adult items, Real Estate, Dutch Auctions and  Business & Industrial
