Any attempt to make an eBay API call to findItemsAdvanced
is ignoring the categoryID
parameter.
For example, I want to find all auctions matching "1943" in the "Video Games" category (ID #1249). eBay instead returns a bunch of auctions for coins instead.
This is the URL I am using:
http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsAdvanced&SERVICE-VERSION=1.13.0&SECURITY-APPNAME=AppID&GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-US&keywords=1943&categoryid=1249
