eBay Browse API limiting the number of category_ids to 1, but documentation says you can add multiple category_ids

When performing a GET request to the eBay browse API I am getting the following error message:

<class 'list'>: [{'errorId': 12030, 'domain': 'API_BROWSE', 'category': 'REQUEST', 'message': 'The number of categories in the request has exceeded the limit. Please reduce the number of categories to 1 or less.', 'parameters': [{'name': 'allowedMaxCategories', 'value': '1'}]}]

Here is the URL of the request I am trying to make:

https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?category_ids=58058,11700,293,15032,1249,625&filter=sellers:{foo}&limit=100&sort=newlyListed

However, the documentation for the Browse API suggests that you can pass category_ids as a string array separated by commas.

The category ID is used to limit the results. This field can have one category ID or a comma separated list of IDs.

Here is a link to the documenation for the Browse API:

I have tested your code in eBay api explorer, i received warning response of your defined filters not category, after corrected filters i received success response with records.

Check this query

https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item_summary/search?category_ids=58058,11700,293,15032,1249,625&limit=100&sort=newlyListed&filter=sellers:%7Bfoo%7D

NOTE: the seller foo not found so return success with 0 record but without seller or a valid seller id return success with records
