## NAME
    [WWW::Search::Ebay::Category](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/WWW%3A%3ASearch%3A%3AEbay%3A%3ACategory/markdown) - backend for returning entire categories on www.ebay.com

## SYNOPSIS
      use [WWW::Search](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/WWW%3A%3ASearch/markdown);
      my $oSearch = new [WWW::Search](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/WWW%3A%3ASearch/markdown)('[Ebay::Category](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Ebay%3A%3ACategory/markdown)');
      # Category 1381 is Disney Modern Premiums:
      $oSearch->[native_query(1381)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/nativequery/1381/markdown);
      while (my $oResult = $oSearch->next_result())

## DESCRIPTION
    This class is a Ebay specialization of [WWW::Search](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/WWW%3A%3ASearch/markdown). It handles making and interpreting Ebay
    searches <http://www.ebay.com>.

    This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through [WWW::Search](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/WWW%3A%3ASearch/markdown)
    objects.

## NOTES
    Returns the "first" 200 *auction* items in the given category. I'm not sure what exactly "first"
    means in this case; YMMV.

    It is up to you to determine the number of the category you want.

    See the NOTES section of [WWW::Search::Ebay](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/WWW%3A%3ASearch%3A%3AEbay/markdown) for a description of the results.
