    Use an ID of -1 to retrieve the root category and the top-level (level 1) meta
    categories. You can determine other CategoryIDs from the response from this
    call, or from a specific item (retrieved from another call like
    GetSingleItem), or from the eBay website.

    property
  •   categoryLevel

    The level where the category fits in the site’s category hierarchy.
    For example, if this field has a value of 2, then the category is 2
    levels below the root category.




    Note that the value of CategoryLevel will always be 1 level below the level
    of the requested category. To retrieve a category’s children, pass its
    CategoryID back into the request.

    the ones with the most matching items are returned first.
