Getting all seller items from /item_summary/search

I am looking to pull all the products for a given persons sellerId, this is used to create a code that a user can add toa website to output thier ebay products on.
The problem I am currently having is I can not seem to do this with the https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search endpoint.
I add the filter=sellers:{<sellerId>} on the query string and have tried a few q values I thought may pull all the products, for instance

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?q= &filter=sellers:{<sellerId>} - has a space in the q value
https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?filter=sellers:{<sellerId>}&epid=3 - epid set to 0

These tests bring only 9 results of the users 30 products, all thirty have item names have a space in them.

Can anyone help, why are there only 9 of the 30 returned, and if I am unable to use this endpoint to do what I am looking for, is there a way I can achieve the result I am looking for with any of the other RESTful APIs?

Thanks in Advance.

I may have figured this out. I can't remember if I saw it in docs somewhere or if it was some strange spontaneous eureka moment, but it appears that there is a default to filter by FIXED_PRICE only as an implicit filter.

So, try to ensure that both item types are included in the query by being explicit with that as a filter:

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?q=your_search_term&limit=2&filter=sellers:{seller_id},buyingOptions:{AUCTION|FIXED_PRICE}

^ Adding the additional `buyOptions:{AUCTION|FIXED_PRICE}` is what did it for me. Without specifying the `buyingOptions` filter, I kept returning 0 results for a seller that I know has hundreds of auctions going at any given time. It appears there there is an implicit filter of FIXED_PRICE only unless specified.

Other thing to keep in mind is that filters are delimited by comma, and filter values are delimited by pipe character: |
