      Hi, first problem is that I’m using ebay UK, and the category structure for Motors is completely different to ebay US (Which is what the plugin is showing).

      I have tried to get around this by using the numeric category ID (eg 9801), and the same search criteria as I would use in a search, eg “Mitsuoka”..

      However, I either get no posts returned, or a load of garbage posts with no relation to what I asked for..

      What am I doing wrong?

      Hello,

      First of all, thank you for your purchase.

      I suspect you are currently using an older version of the plugin, based on the issues you mentioned.

      Can you send me, please, temporary admin login credentials to your WordPress install, so I can check this issue out? Send it, please, to my email address: kisded@yahoo.com.

      Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.

      Hello,

      Thank you for the login info. I checked this in detail and indeed, eBay API does not return results correctly for eBay UK, when category IDs are used for item filtering. I created a support ticket on eBay Developer forum, I hope they will get back with a solution for this soon: https://forums.developer.ebay.com/questions/48203/ebay-browse-api-search-endpoint-not-returning-corr.html

      There were also other developers who faced similar issues recently: https://forums.developer.ebay.com/questions/46578/search-in-categories-category-ids-does-not-work-si.html

      I am sorry for this issue, I hope it will be solved soon, if not, I will be able to offer a refund for the plugin if you decide you no longer want to use it.

      Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this will be solved soon.

      Regards.
