eBay::API::XML::DataType::BuyingGuideType
Information that identifies a buying guide. A buying guide provides content about particular product areas, categories, or subjects to help buyers decide which type of item to purchase based on their particular interests. Buying guides are useful to buyers who do not have a specific product in mind. For example, a digital camera buying guide could help a buyer determine what kind of digital camera is right for them.
eBay::API::XML::DataType::BuyingGuideType inherits from the eBay::API::XML::BaseDataType class
Identifies the category (if any) that is associated with the buying guide. For GetSearchResults, this can be a category that is higher or lower in the hierarchy than the category specified in the request. For a matching categories search, you can use this information to determine the order that the buying guides are returned in when multiple guides are found. Optionally, you can use this information to determine where to present the buying guide link in your application. Not returned for product finder searches.
