In certain cases, yes. If you show us the URL we might be able to be clearer.

My own take on this subject is that both sites mentioned should be listed ONLY in the ONE more specific category you mentioned. @links should be present to take visitors from the more general category to the more specific, so that the sites would apparently be listed in a single subcategory of Classifieds/Free (which was also apparently a subcategory of Classifieds/Auto/B2B.)

Your spotting this category overlap will, I hope, the the incentive needed to fix this flaw in the ODP taxonomy. (Thanks. This is one of the strong motivations for ODP editors to participate in public forums.)
