question

In the finding service check out the categoryId property.  A quick and dirty way to find out the category Id is to hover over a link to that category on the eBay website.  You will see a number in the link.  Double check that this is the correct category by putting it in the URL below in a browser.  (make sure to substitute your ID)

<CategoryID>1059</CategoryID>

<CategoryLevel>2</CategoryLevel>

<CategoryName>Men's Clothing</CategoryName>

<CategoryParentID>11450</CategoryParentID>

<CategoryNamePath>Clothing, Shoes & Accessories:Men's Clothing</CategoryNamePath>

<CategoryIDPath>11450:1059</CategoryIDPath>

<LeafCategory>false</LeafCategory>

 

You can do that for the others you are interested in and get the children categories.

 

If you want to do a lot more categories you should really figure them out programmatically as explained here.
