Question
When listing/revising an item, I am not selecting GalleryType as Plus but the item is still getting listed/revised with the Gallery Plus feature. What can be the reason for this?
Answer
Some of the categories of an eBay marketplace supports free and automatic upgrades for Gallery Plus, which enhances pictures in search results. You can execute the GetCategoryFeatures call with FeatureID as FreeGalleryPlusEnabled to know if a eBay category supports the free Gallery Plus feature for the marketplace.
For example: CategoryID 2518 supports the free Gallery Plus feature for the Australia (SiteID 15) marketplace.

Also, when any item gets listed/revised with the free Gallery Plus feature, GalleryPlusFee will return as 0 in the response.
