Yahoo! Express: Is my $300 gone?

I submitted a site to a 2nd category, without reading the T&C

I submitted a site three weeks ago via Yahoo! Express. The site is already in one category, submitted last year. This time, I submitted a sub-page to another category. These are both small categories, and I'm familiar with all the other sites, and if my site were two separate sites, I'm sure each would qualify for its respective category.

But reading the Terms and Conditions now, I see that you cannot submit the same site again to another category. Yikes! Is my money down the drain? The frustrating thing is that even though it's been two weeks, I have not received any contact, not a rejection, not even the automatic order acknowledgment that I got the first time I submitted the site last year. And I cannot find an email address anywhere on Yahoo to ask about it.

The other thing is, to be honest, I am afraid to even inquire about it. Most of my traffic comes from Yahoo, and (as with Google also), there is a certain sense of arbitrariness and lack of due process about these companies that makes me afraid to stand out in any way. If I show up on their radar, it could be trouble. Of course, I realize that they have to put up with zillions of scammers, so I have a certain amount of sympathy.

I feel dumb not reading the terms and conditions--wait a minute, no I don't. I always figure that stuff is just lengthy legal boilerplate, such as indemnities and the like. Basic stuff like "Don't submit your site twice" should be somewhere on the submission pages, not in the legalese. And it seems technically trivial during the submission process to pop up a notice saying, "This site seems to already be in the database: did you read T&C section 2?"

I'm conflicted on what to do. I'll make up the $300 in a month from affiliate income from my other Yahoo listing, so maybe I should just slither away without complaining. But the lack of any contact is annoying.
