Enhanced Search Options for Shopping CallsMany new search options have been added to FindItemsAdvanced. You can now search for: a seller's positive feedback percentage, item location, items that are Featured or SuperFeatured, Description, CharityID, AutoPay, Proximity, or Postal Code (with a specified distance range). You can filter all FindItemsAdvanced results by Seller Feedback Score or AutoPay (which you can use to exclude results). In addition, you can filter your Best Match results using a range of end times or a range of prices. You can now see up to 100 items in the FindPopularItems results and up to 20 items in the GetMultipleItems results. GetSingleItem and GetMultipleItems now include a Text Description option in the Include Selector that returns only the text of the item description (without any mark-up, JavaScript, or image tags). The AutoPay field is now returned as part of the default Include Selector results. GetMultipleItems also lets you return item Details using the Include Selector. FindProducts now allows you to filter your results by CategoryID and sort your results by popularity. SellerLevel is now included in the default Include Selector results for GetUserProfile. Media and Consumer Electronics Catalog Product ChangesStarting in mid-2008, the eBay Germany, Austria, and Switzerland sites, the eBay US site, and Half.com will start migrating some catalogs to a new data provider. Initially, you may see changes in Media and Consumer Electronics catalogs. As part of this process, some products will undergo changes to their product details and Item Specifics, some will be mapped to different products with similar information, and some will be deleted. FindProducts, FindItemsAdvanced, and FindReviewsAndGuides may return warnings if you pass in a product that has been modified or deleted. During the migration period (typically 90 days), FindProducts will return a new ProductState field that specifies how a product changed or will change (if applicable).

Items Under Minimum Listing Amount Not Returned In SearchesBy the beginning of May 2008, the response for Search related calls will not return an item with a listed price that is less than the Minimum Listing Amount (MLA) threshold on the eBay site where the item was originally listed. The following calls are affected by this change:
The MLA varies by site ID (e.g. $0.99 on the US site and 1 euro on the UK site) and is an additional transparent filter that will not affect any existing functionality of the affected calls. The MLA filtering will automatically be applied to the following listing formats for items returned in the response of the calls:
However, MLA filtering will not apply to Chinese Auction and Chinese Auction + BIN Format for listings lasting 6 days or more. Whenever the response of these calls returns items listed on another (international) eBay site, the price of those items is first converted to the local country currency and is then compared to the local MLA threshold. The MLA will be applied across all eBay sites, including eBay Express and Motors (does not include Half.com).
