Argument Type Occurrence Meaning
Standard Input Fields   [Jump to call-specific fields]
ErrorLanguage string Optional Use ErrorLanguage to return error strings for the call in a different language from the language commonly associated with the site that the requesting user is registered with. Specify the standard RFC 3066 language identification tag (e.g., en_US).

See Tags for the Identification of Languages.

MessageID string Optional In most cases, all calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass a message ID in a request, we will return the same value in CorrelationID in the response. You can use this for tracking that a response is returned for every request and to match particular responses to particular requests. If you do not pass MessageID in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.
OutputSelector string Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
You can use the OutputSelector field to restrict the data returned by this call. When you make a call such as GetItem that retrieves data from eBay, the OutputSelector field is useful for restricting the data returned. This field makes the call response easier to use, especially when a large payload would be returned. If you use the OutputSelector field, the output data will include only the fields you specified in the request. For example, if you are using GetItem and you want the item data in the response to be restricted to the ViewItemURL (the URL where a user can view the listing) and BuyItNowPrice, then within the GetItem request, specify those output fields. To use this field, see the information at the following link.

See Selecting Fields to Retrieve.

Version string Conditional The version number of the API code that you are programming against (e.g., 549). The version you specify for a call has these basic effects:
- It indicates the version of the code lists and other data that eBay should use to process your request.
- It indicates the schema version you are using.
You need to use a version that is greater than or equal to the lowest supported version.

For the SOAP API: If you are using the SOAP API, this field is required. Specify the version of the WSDL your application is using.

For the XML API: If you are using the XML API, this field has no effect. Instead, specify the version in the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL HTTP header. (If you specify Version in the body of an XML API request and it is different from the value in the HTTP header, eBay returns an informational warning that the value in the HTTP header was used instead.)

See:
    HTTP Headers (XML API Only)
    eBay Schema Versioning Strategy
    Lowest Supported Version

WarningLevel WarningLevelCodeType Optional Controls whether or not to return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request.

An unrecognized element is one that is not defined in any supported version of the schema. Schema element names are case-sensitive, so using WarningLevel can also help you remove any potential hidden bugs within your application due to incorrect case or spelling in field names before you put your application into the Production environment.

WarningLevel only validates elements; it doesn't validate XML attributes. It also doesn't control warnings related to user-entered strings or numbers, or warnings for logical errors.

We recommend that you only use this during development and debugging. Do not use this in requests in your production code.

Applicable values:

•   High

(in) Return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request.

•   Low

(in) Do not return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request. This is the default value if WarningLevel is not specified.


See Warning Level.

Call-specific Input Fields
Pagination PaginationType Optional Specifies the number of entries per page and the page number to return in the result set.
Pagination.EntriesPerPage int Optional Specifies the maximum number of entries to return in a single call. If the number of entries that can be returned is less than the value in EntriesPerPage, then the lower number is returned. For most calls, the max is 200 and the default is 25. For GetUserDisputes, the value is hard-coded at 200, and any input is ignored. For GetProducts, the maximum is 20 (and higher values are ignored). See the annotations for other individual calls to determine the correct max and default values. For GetOrders, not applicable to eBay.com (but applicable to Half.com for GetOrders).
Pagination.PageNumber int Optional Specifies the number of the page of data to return in the current call. Default is 1 for most calls. For some calls, the default is 0. Specify a positive value equal to or lower than the number of pages available (which you determine by examining the results of your initial request). See the documentation for other individual calls to determine the correct default value. For GetOrders, not applicable to eBay.com (for GetOrders, applicable to Half.com).
Min: 1. Default: 1.
Sort ItemSortTypeCodeType Optional Specifies how the returned feedback items should be sorted. Valid values are Title, EndTime, QuestionCount, FeedbackLeft, FeedbackReceivedDescending, UserIDDescending, TitleDescending, and EndTimeDescending.

Applicable values: See Sort.

Return Value Type Occurrence Meaning
Standard Output Fields   [Jump to call-specific fields]
Ack AckCodeType Always A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status (e.g., success). The AckCodeType list specifies the possible values for Ack.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   Failure

(out) Request processing failed

•   Success

(out) Request processing succeeded

•   Warning

(out) Request processing completed with warning information being included in the response message


(Not all values in AckCodeType apply to this field.)
Build string Always This refers to the specific software build that eBay used when processing the request and generating the response. This includes the version number plus additional information. eBay Developer Support may request the build information when helping you resolve technical issues.
CorrelationID string Conditionally In most cases, all calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass a message ID in a request, we will return the same value in CorrelationID in the response. You can use this for tracking that a response is returned for every request and to match particular responses to particular requests. If you do not pass MessageID in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.
Errors ErrorType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
A list of application-level errors (if any) that occurred when eBay processed the request.

See Error Handling.

Errors.ErrorClassification ErrorClassificationCodeType Conditionally API errors are divided between two classes: system errors and request errors.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   RequestError

(out) An error has occurred either as a result of a problem in the sending application or because the application's end-user has attempted to submit invalid data (or missing data). In these cases, do not retry the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be made again. If the problem is due to something in the application (such as a missing required field), the application must be changed. If the problem is a result of end-user data, the application must alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for the end-user to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, resend the request to eBay with the corrected data.

•   SystemError

(out) Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side, such as a database or server down. An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.


Errors.ErrorCode token Conditionally A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms. See the "Errors by Number" document.
Errors.ErrorParameters ErrorParameterType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned.
Errors.ErrorParameters
  [ attribute ParamID ]
string Conditionally The index of the parameter in the list of parameter types returned within the error type.
Errors.ErrorParameters.Value string Conditionally The value of the variable (e.g., the attribute set ID)
Errors.LongMessage string Conditionally A more detailed description of the condition that raised the error.
Errors.SeverityCode SeverityCodeType Conditionally Indicates whether the error is a severe error (causing the request to fail) or an informational error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use

•   Error

(out) Application-level error

•   Warning

(out) Warning or informational error


Errors.ShortMessage string Conditionally A brief description of the condition that raised the error.
HardExpirationWarning string Conditionally Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token.
Timestamp dateTime Always This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See Time Values in the eBay Web Services guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone.

Note: GetCategories, GetAttributesCS, GetCategory2CS, GetAttributesXSL, GetProductFinder, GetProductFinderXSL, and GetProductSearchPage are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, this time value reflects the time the cached response was created. Thus, this value is not necessarily when the request was processed. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, this time value does reflect when the request was processed.
Version string Always The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request. See "Standard Data for All Calls" in the eBay Web Services Guide for information on using the response version when troubleshooting "CustomCode" values that appear in the response.
Call-specific Output Fields
ItemsAwaitingFeedback PaginatedTransactionArrayType Always Contains the items awaiting feedback. Returned only if there are items that do not yet have feedback.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .PaginationResult
PaginationResultType Always Provides information about the list of transactions, including number of pages and number of entries.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .PaginationResult
  .TotalNumberOfEntries
int Always Indicates the total number of entries that could be returned by repeated requests. For GetOrders, not applicable to eBay.com (for GetOrders, applicable to Half.com). Returned with a value of 0 if no entries are available.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .PaginationResult
  .TotalNumberOfPages
int Always Indicates the total number of pages of data that could be returned by repeated requests. For GetOrders, not applicable to eBay.com (for GetOrders, applicable to Half.com). Returned with a value of 0 if no pages are available.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray
TransactionArrayType Always Contains a list of transactions. Returned as an empty tag if no applicable transactions exist.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
TransactionType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
Information about one transaction. Also applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders).

See Working with Combined Payment.

ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Buyer
UserType Conditionally Contains the data for the transaction's buyer. See UserType for its child elements. Returned by GetItemsAwaitingFeedback if Seller is making the request.

Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders only).
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Buyer.UserID
UserIDType (string) Conditionally Unique eBay user ID for the user.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag contains the actual value of an ID only for that bidder, and for the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For other users, the actual value is replaced by an anonymous value, according to these rules:

When bidding on items listed on the US site: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID. For example, if the UserID = IBidALot, it might be displayed as, "I****A".

Note that in this format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for every auction.

For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items listed on the US site: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID.

When bidding on items listed on the the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the value "Bidder X" where X is a number indicating the order of that user's first bid. For example, if the user was the third bidder, UserID = Bidder 3.

Note that in this format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for a given auction, but is different for different auctions. For example, a bidder who is the third and then the seventh bidder in an auction will be listed for both bids as "Bidder 3". However, if that same bidder is the first bidder on a different auction, the bidder will be listed for that auction as "Bidder 1", not "Bidder 3".

For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items listed on the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the string "High Bidder".

Note that when IncludeFeedback is true in a GetSearchResults request, the response contains the seller's User ID. Please note that a seller's UserID is not anonymized.

For PlaceOffer, see also SellingStatus.HighBidder.

See Working with Anonymous User Information.

ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .FeedbackReceived
FeedbackInfoType Conditionally A container for feedback information left BY the user's transaction partner. Only returned if feedback was left for a transaction.

Not applicable to Half.com.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .FeedbackReceived.CommentType
CommentTypeCodeType Conditionally Rating of the feedback being left (e.g., Positive). Sellers cannot leave neutral or negative feedback for buyers.

Applicable values:

•   CustomCode

(in/out) Reserved for internal or future use.

•   IndependentlyWithdrawn

(in/out) Applies to the eBay Motors site only. Feedback is withdrawn based on the decision of a third party.

•   Negative

(in/out) Negative feedback. Decreases total feedback score.

•   Neutral

(in/out) Neutral feedback. No effect on total feedback score.

•   Positive

(in/out) Positive feedback. Increases total feedback score.

•   Withdrawn

(in/out) Withdrawn feedback. Removes the effect of the original feedback on total feedback score. Comments from withdrawn feedback are still visible.


ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Item
ItemType Conditionally Information about the item that spawned the transaction. It is a purchase from this item's listing that the transaction represents. To remove a property from an item, specify it in ModifyType as a changed property, but do not give it a value in Item.

Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders).
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Item.ItemID
ItemIDType (string) Conditionally The ID that uniquely identifies the item listing. The ID is generated by eBay after an item is listed. You cannot choose or revise this value.

Also applicable to Half.com. For Half.com, you can specify either ItemID or SellerInventoryID in a ReviseItem request to uniquely identify the listing.

In transaction calls (e.g., GetItemTransactions), use a combination of ItemID and TransactionID to uniquely identify a transaction. With multi-quantity listings, a single ItemID can be associated with more than one TransactionID. (For single-quantity listings, the TransactionID is 0.)

In GetItemRecommendations, the item ID is required when the value of ListingFlow is ReviseItem or RelistItem, but it is not applicable when the value of ListingFlow is AddItem.

In GetSearchResults, the same ItemID may be returned for multiple results if the results are variations from the same mult-variation listing.

Note: Although we represent item IDs as strings in the schema, we recommend you store them as 64-bit signed integers. If you choose to store item IDs as strings, allocate at least 19 characters (assuming decimal digits are used) to hold them. eBay will increase the size of IDs over time. Your code should be prepared to handle IDs of up to 19 digits. For more information about item IDs, see Common FAQs on eBay Item IDs and other eBay IDs in the Knowledge Base.
Max length: 19 (Note: the eBay database specifies 38. Currently, Item IDs are usually 9 to 12 digits).
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Item.ListingDetails
ListingDetailsType Conditionally Various details about a listing, some of which are calculated or derived after the item is listed. These include the start and end time, converted (localized) prices, and certain flags that indicate whether the seller specified fields whose values are not visible to the requesting user. For GetMyeBayBuying, returned as a self-closed element if no listings meet the request criteria.

Not applicable to Half.com.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Item.ListingDetails.EndTime
dateTime Conditionally Time stamp (in GMT) when the listing is scheduled to end (calculated based on the values of StartTime and ListingDuration) or the actual end time if the item has ended. In GetSearchResults, for StoresFixedPrice items which are "Good Till Canceled," this value is 5 minutes later than the actual end time of the item. The discrepancy is intended to facilitate renewal every 30 days of such items' end times.

In GetSearchResults, the same EndTime may be returned for multiple results if the results are variations from the same multi-variation listing.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Item.Seller
UserType Conditionally Container for information about this listing's seller.

Not applicable to Half.com.

Returned by GetItemsAwaitingFeedback if Buyer is making the request.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .Item.Title
string Conditionally Name of the item as it appears in the listing or search results. Required for most items. Optional if you list in Books, Music, Movies, or Video Games categories and you use Pre-filled Item Information (as the title can be pre-filled based on the catalog product title). That is, optional if you specify Item.ExternalProductID or Item.ProductListingDetails.

You cannot use HTML or JavaScript in the Title. (HTML characters will be interpreted literally as plain text.)

For AddItem, not applicable to Half.com. For GetOrders, not returned from eBay.com, but a title from the Half.com catalog is returned from Half.com instead.

You can add or change the value of this tag only if an item has no bids (or no items have sold) and the listing does not end for 12 hours.

In GetItemRecommendations, more keywords in the title usually results in more relevant recommendations.
Max length: 55.
ItemsAwaitingFeedback
  .TransactionArray.Transaction
  .TransactionID
string Conditionally Identifier for the transaction. A value of zero is used for the Chinese auction format. Thus, a value of zero is a valid transaction ID. A transaction ID is only unique to the listing that spawned it, so a transaction is only uniquely identified on a global basis by a combination of ItemID and TransactionID.

Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders only).
Max length: 19 (Note: The eBay database specifies 38. Currently, transaction IDs are usually 9 to 12 digits.) .
