Just making a standard API call to the following URL:
https://api.ebay.com/commerce/taxonomy/v1/category_tree/0
and 99% of the returned data seems to be fine but one area which we list in is returning invalid category IDs, parsed example result below:
<option value="25344">Business & Industrial --> Office --> Office Supplies --> Filing, Storage & Binding</option> <option value="11834">Business & Industrial --> Office --> Office Supplies --> Filing, Storage & Binding --> Other Office Filing & Binding</option> <option value="25345">Business & Industrial --> Office --> Office Supplies --> Filing, Storage & Binding --> Binders & Supplies</option> <option value="25346">Business & Industrial --> Office --> Office Supplies --> Filing, Storage & Binding --> Files & Supplies</option> <option value="61755">Business & Industrial --> Office --> Office Supplies --> Filing, Storage & Binding --> Binding Covers & Spines</option> <option value="61756">Business & Industrial --> Office --> Office Supplies --> Filing, Storage & Binding --> Binding Machines</option>
These category IDs aren't the same as the ones on the ebay UK website but it seems to affect most of the Office Supplies category.
I can't find anything inside the JSON result that would indicate the correct values.
E.G. Binding-Supplies Returns results for category ID = 148459 but that value isn't in the returned taxonomy data.
