Is there any way to add the parent eBay category for running the saved searched under? The current results from top-level is not useful.

Hello John,
Thank you for your suggestion about the search category. There isn't a way to do this now, but we'll put the request on the list. We usually start doing enhancements during the holiday. I think this feature would be useful for all customers.
Thanks again for the suggestion, we usually take any of the ideas we can.

Please tell me more what you envision.
1. Is it simply the top-level categories, of which there are just a few? If so, We do pull those over from eBay, and could just make a pull-down, that is optional. Example: "Star Wars" in the "Toys & Hobbies".
2. Or, we can add a text box where you can put in a category number. But you would have to know the category number. This one is tough because we'd have to put in some kind of lookup feature also.
The first one would be much easier. Let me know, thanks.

For me, the category would be Covers - Breadcrumb: eBay > ... > Stamps > United States > Covers. The URL for same shows as: https://www.ebay.com/b/US-Stamp-Covers/47147/bn_2310763. So what I am thinking is an option select the "folder path" to a specific category as the top level for the search. I can see where storing the complete "folder paths" of all the eBay categories would be large, and hard to keep up to date. Perhaps allow the user to enter the resulting URL of their manual eBay search?

OK, I added this to the improvements list. It might be a couple months but I'll make sure it gets in.
