Return multiple items


i am new to python as a matter of fact, this is my first python project. I am using ebaysdk to search for electronics on ebay and i want it to return multiple results because my app is for comparing prices but it returns only one result.

Someone please help me to make the code return multiple results.

Here is my code snippet.

@app.route('/ebay_page_post', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def ebay_page_post():
    if request.method == 'POST':

        #Get json format of the text sent by Ajax
        search = request.json['search']

        try:
            #ebaysdk code starts here
            api = finding(appid='JohnOkek-hybridse-PRD-5c2330105-9bbb62f2', config_file = None)
            api_request = {'keywords':search, 'outputSelector': 'SellerInfo', 'categoryId': '293'}
            response = api.execute('findItemsAdvanced', api_request)
            soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'lxml')

            totalentries = int(soup.find('totalentries').text)
            items = soup.find_all('item')

            for item in items:
                cat = item.categoryname.string.lower()
                title = item.title.string.lower().strip()
                price = int(round(float(item.currentprice.string)))
                url = item.viewitemurl.string.lower()
                seller = item.sellerusername.text.lower()
                listingtype = item.listingtype.string.lower()
                condition = item.conditiondisplayname.string.lower()

                print ('____________________________________________________________')

                #return json format of the result for Ajax processing
                return jsonify(cat + '|' + title + '|' + str(price) + '|' + url + '|' + seller + '|' + listingtype + '|' + condition)
        except ConnectionError as e:
            return jsonify(e)
