List Items by Category
To get started, you may have a specific set of Ebay categories you would like to list products from. To do this, we need the Ebay category. The easiest way to get the real number for an Ebay category is to visit the url. In this example, we'll use a category from Ebay Motors:
http://motors.listings.ebay.com/Wheels-Tires-Parts_Wheels_W0QQfrom
ZR4QQsacatZ43953QQsocmdZListingItemList
(note: this url is wrapped onto a second line)
Click here to launch the URL in a new browser. Note the part of the URL above in bold. The category number is located between QQsacatZ and QQ. In this example, the category number is: 43953
From this category, we want to list wheels, but there are over 15,000 wheels for sale, so we need to narrow it down. You could narrow it by brand, or by vehicle or a number of other ways. For this example, let's narrow it down to a specific vehicle - the Chevrolet Corvette. We'll use the keyword: bmw
Finally, we want to list 15 items to return.
To understand how to put these values together, to list the Ebay auction items below, view the source code of this file. Seven lines is all it takes to get items into your site file. Click here for the next example.
