I am trying to list in a category which is Enabled for BestOffer but the api is failing to list the item. Why ?
Case :1
Lets assume you are trying to list in the category-15687 on US site which as per GetCategoryFeatures api is Enabled for both BestOfferEnabled and BestOfferAutoDeclineEnabled.
If you are unable to list the item and getting the following warning :
<ShortMessage>Invalid BestOffer input.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>Auto limit options have been disabled or are no longer available for this category.</LongMessage>
<ErrorCode>23001</ErrorCode>
<SeverityCode>Warning</SeverityCode>
One of the reason could be that you are trying to list with variations. The Best Offer option is not currently available for listings with variations.

Case 2:
Lets assume you are trying to list an item in category-47363 on US site, which supports BestOffer, but still throwing the following error :
- <Errors>
<ShortMessage>Best offer feature disabled.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>Best offer feature is unavailable or disabled for the specified category or listing type.</LongMessage>
<ErrorCode>20135</ErrorCode>
<SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode>
<ErrorClassification>RequestError</ErrorClassification>
</Errors>
Once again please check your request and see if you are trying to list with Multi-SKU/variations.
The Best Offer option is not currently available for listings with variations, so you may get the above error if your request has variations.
