DESCRIPTION
This class is a Ebay specialization of WWW::Search. It handles making and interpreting Ebay searches http://www.ebay.com.
This class exports no public interface; all interaction should be done through WWW::Search objects.
NOTES
The search is done against CURRENT running auctions only.
The query is applied to TITLES only.
The results are ordered youngest auctions first (reverse order of auction listing date).
In the resulting WWW::Search::Result objects, the description field consists of a human-readable combination (joined with semicolon-space) of the Item Number; number of bids; and high bid amount (or starting bid amount).
OPTIONS
