| 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). ID--- country ----- ----- de_AT Austria de_CH Switzerland de_DE Germany en_AU Australia en_CA Canada en_GB United Kingdom en_SG Singapore en_US United States es_ES Spain fr_BE Belgium (French) fr_CA Canada (French) fr_FR France it_IT Italy nl_BE Belgium (Dutch) nl_NL Netherlands zh_CN China en_IN India en_IE Ireland zh_HK Hong Kong |
| 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. |
| 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:
|
| 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 | |||
| DeletedField | string | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Specifies the name of a field to remove from a template. See the eBay Web Services guide for rules on removing values when revising items. Also see the relevant field descriptions to determine when to use DeletedField (and potential consequences). The request can contain zero, one, or many instances of DeletedField (one for each field to be removed). DeletedField accepts the following path names, which remove the corresponding fields: Item.ListingDesigner.LayoutID Item.ListingDesigner.ThemeID Item.PayPalEmailAddress Item.PictureDetails.GalleryURL Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL Item.ProximitySearchDetails.PostalCode item.ShippingDetails.PaymentInstructions item.SKU These values are case-sensitive. Use values that match the case of the schema element names (Item.PictureDetails.GalleryURL) or make the initial letter of each field name lowercase (item.pictureDetails.galleryURL). However, do not change the case of letters in the middle of a field name (e.g., item.picturedetails.galleryUrl is not allowed). Depending on how you have configured your pictures, you cannot necessarily delete both GalleryURL and PictureURL from an existing listing. If GalleryType was already set for the item you are revising, you cannot remove it. This means you still need to include either a first picture or a gallery URL in your revised listing. |
| Item | ItemType | Required | Required. In Item.ItemID, specify the same value as the value you specified in SaleTemplateID. Other child elements hold the values for properties that are being changed. Set values in the Item object only for those properties that are changing. Use DeletedField to remove a property. |
| Item.ApplicationData | string | Optional |
Returns custom, application-specific data associated with the item. The data you specify is stored by eBay with the item for your own reference, but it is not used by eBay in any way. Use ApplicationData to store special information for yourself, such as a part number. For a SKU in an eBay.com listing, use the SKU element instead. To remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField. Not applicable to Half.com, use SellerInventoryID instead. Max length: 32. |
| Item.ApplyShippingDiscount | boolean | Optional |
Multiple Item Shipping Discount. Seller specifies as input when listing, re-listing, or revising an item to indicate whether a shipping discount is to be applied when the buyer pays for the item in the checkout process and the item's transaction is combined with other transactions into an order. Returned with retrieved item data, indicating a shipping discount is applicable. Not returned by GetItem (see Item.ShippingDetails.ShippingDiscount instead). ApplyShippingDiscount can only be used if the user has not set up a shipping discount profile. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.AttributeSetArray | AttributeSetArrayType | Optional |
AttributeSetArray is one format that is used to to specify Item Specifics on the eBay Web site. (Also see Item.ItemSpecifics.) Item Specifics describe an item in a standard way so that buyers can find it more easily. For example, "Publication Year" is a standard property of a book. Contains one or more instances of AttributeSet in a list. For attributes in general, an item can be associated with no more than two full attribute sets (one for the primary category and one for the secondary category). For some international sites, an item can specify an additional site-wide attribute set for the item condition. Older applications can still use AttributeSetArray to specify a return policy (which is defined in a site-wide attribute set for most sites). However, as eBay may deprecate return policy attributes in the future, we strongly recommend that you use the new Item.ReturnPolicy node instead to specify the seller's return policy. Note: AttributeSetArray does not support the newer "custom Item Specifics" model. See the ItemSpecifics node instead. For the AddItem family of calls: Some categories (such as Event Tickets and US Real Estate) require Item Specifics. See the eBay Web Services Guide links below for information on working with Item Specifics. Use GetCategory2CS and GetAttributesCS to determine when attributes are required for a category. Also use attributes to specify the item condition. For ReviseItem only: When you revise a listing, if the listing has bids and ends within 12 hours, you cannot change or add attributes. If the listing has bids but ends in more than 12 hours, you cannot change existing attribute data, but you can add attributes that were not previously specified. The most reliable way to do this is to pass in the entire AttributeSetArray with all the attributes you want in the listing (not just the ones you want to change, because that usually causes the others to be removed). To delete all attributes when you revise or relist, specify Item.AttributeSetArray in DeletedField and don't pass AttributeSetArray in the request. If the original listing's attributes are no longer valid and you get errors when you try to revise the listing, you can try to pass in the entire AttributeSetArray again with corrections. If that doesn't work, you can end the item and relist it with a set of valid attributes. For GetCategoryListings only: For GetCategoryListings, AttributeSetArray can return the item condition (not other Item Specifics), if specified. For GetSearchResults only: GetSearchResults can return the item condition when the request either specifies IncludeCondition as true; or specifies a product finder search (and a detail level of ItemReturnAttributes or ReturnAll). If IncludeCondition was true, see the ItemSpecific node for a simpler view of the condition value. Note: AttributeSetArray only returns the condition attribute's ValueID. You would need to use GetAttributesCS to figure out the meaning of this ID. It's easier to just look at the ItemSpecific node. If SearchRequest or TicketFinder was used to perform a product finder search, the list of attributes is limited to Item Specifics that would be included in the summary search results on the Web site, if any. At this time, GetSearchResults only returns event ticket venue name, section, and row (if specified) for eBay US (site 0); and the mileage and year for eBay Motors vehicles (site 100 and international eBay Motors sites that support this feature). In other categories, no summary attributes are returned in search results (even when the item is listed with Item Specifics.) For GetItemRecommendations only: In GetItemRecommendations, if you use the Suggested Attributes engine, the engine interprets attributes you pass in as attributes that do NOT need recommendations (i.e., attributes that the seller has already filled in as desired). The engine only returns recommendations for attributes that you do not specify, and only for attributes associated with the primary category. For Half.com, this is only returned in GetItem. It is not applicable in AddItem and other requests. See:
|
|
Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet |
AttributeSetType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Contains a list of attributes that describe category-specific aspects or features of an item in a standardized way. For the AddItem family of calls and GetItem, an AttributeSetArray can contain a maximum of 2 full attribute sets (one for each category in which the item is listed) if the primary and secondary categories are mapped to different characteristic sets. If they are mapped to the same characteristic set, the AttributeSetArray can contain one full attribute set. An AttributeSetArray can also contain any number of additional site-wide attribute sets. In item-listing requests, AttributeSet is required if the category is mapped to a characteristic set with required attributes. On the US site, attributes are usually required for Tickets, eBay Motors vehicles, and Real Estate listings. See GetCategory2CS and GetAttributesCS. See the Developer's Guide for information about attribute meta-data and validation rules that are applicable when listing items. In GetItem, the Half.com item condition may be returned once in an AttributeSet node with Half.com IDs and values, and once in a separate AttributeSet node with a site-wide eBay item condition. The Half.com IDs are not necessarily returned in GetAttributesCS, so you can use the eBay.com data instead. Half.com listings may also return an AttributeSet node with other eBay attributes. |
| Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet [ attribute attributeSetID ] |
int | Optional | Constant value that identifies the attribute set in a language-independent way. Unique across all eBay sites. Corresponds to a characteristics set ID. Call GetCategory2CS to determine valid characteristics set IDs. For GetCategoryListings, you can ignore this value. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet [ attribute attributeSetVersion ] |
string | Optional |
Version of the attribute set being specified (in requests) or that is currently on the site. This value changes each time changes are made to the category-to-characteristic set mappings or characteristic set data. The current version value is not necessarily greater than the previous value. Therefore, when comparing versions, only compare whether the value has changed. In listing requests, if you do not specify this value, eBay assumes you are using the current attribute set version. If you specify the version number of the attribute meta-data that you have stored locally, eBay will compare it to the current version on the site and return a warning if the versions do not match. If an error occurs due to invalid attribute data, this warning can be useful to help you determine if you might be sending outdated data. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet.Attribute |
AttributeType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
A salient aspect or feature of an item in a given category. Attributes are known as "Item Specifics" in the eBay Web site. Use attributes to describe an item in a standard way so that buyers can find it more easily. For example, "Publication Year" is a standard attribute for books. In item-listing requests, multiple attributes can be specified. Some categories (e.g., Tickets) always require certain attributes to be specified. Therefore, in item-listing requests you need to at least specify "editable" attributes (EditType 0 and EditType 2 attributes) if they are identified as required in the attribute meta-data. See the eBay Web Services guide for information about attrribute meta-data, how to determine the valid attributes for a category, and how to determine whether attributes are required. If you are revising or relisting an item, you don't need to pass in attributes that were already specified in the original listing. To remove an optional attribute, set all its value IDs to "-100". If the item has bids (or items have been sold) but there are more than 12 hours remaining until the listing ends, you can add Attribute nodes but you cannot remove or modify data in previously specified Attribute nodes. If the item has bids and the listing ends within 12 hours, you cannot add or remove Attribute nodes or modify the contents of previously specified Attribute nodes. For GetCategoryListings, this returns the item condition only (and it is only returned if IncludeCondition = true in the request). Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet.Attribute [ attribute attributeID ] |
int | Optional | Constant value that identifies the attribute in a language-independent way. Unique within the attribute set. See the Developer's Guide topics on Item Specifics and Pre-filled Item Information for information about determining valid attribute IDs. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet.Attribute.Value |
ValType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
A value the seller selected or entered for the attribute. At least one value is required for each Attribute that you specify. Some attributes can have multiple values. See the eBay Web Services guide sections on Item Specifics (Attributes) and Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) for information about using GetAttributesCS to determine valid attribute values. For eBay.com listings, use AttributeSetArray.AttributeSet.Attribute.Value. For Half.com, use AttributeArray.Attribute.Value. That is, the parent elements and usage for Half.com differs from eBay's standard Item Specifics format (and there is no relationship to GetAttributesCS). For Half.com, this does not use the same Attributes logic as eBay's Item Specifics. For Half.com, AttributeArray.Attribute.Value is required when you use AddItem. see the eBay Web Services Guide for valid values. You can revise AttributeArray.Attribute.Value for Half.com listings. |
|
Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet.Attribute.Value .ValueID |
int | Conditional |
Constant value that identifies the attribute or characteristic in a language-independent way. Unique within the characteristic set. In item-listing requests, if the ID is defined as -3 or -6 (Other) in GetAttributesCS or GetProductSellingPages, use ValueLiteral to specify the string value that the user entered. Otherwise, use ValueID to specify the ID that is pre-defined in GetAttributesCS or GetProductSellingPages. In item-listing requests and product searches, the possible ID values are: -3 = User entered an arbitrary value (not an "Other" field) -6 = User entered a value in an "Other" field -100 = Value not specified (null) #### (integer) = Identifier for a pre-defined value that the user selected (e.g., -14 or 1001) For eBay.com, required if ValueList is specified. Not applicable to Half.com. See Attribute Elements. |
|
Item.AttributeSetArray .AttributeSet.Attribute.Value .ValueLiteral |
string | Conditional |
The descriptive name of an attribute or characteristic value (e.g., "New" might be a literal value for a Condition attribute). In item-listing requests, if you send ValueID with an id of -3 or -6, you must use ValueLiteral to enter the value the user specified. Otherwise, eBay treats the request as if no value was sent at all. For eBay.com listings, use AttributeSetArray.AttributeSet.Attribute.Value.ValueLiteral. The max length allowed varies per attribute. For GetSearchResults requests (in SearchRequest), only use ValueLiteral for attributes that support free-text values. That is, if eBay defines a value name and a unique value ID for an attribute in GetProductFinder, do not pass the name in ValueLiteral (because it won't work). Instead, specify the unique value ID in ValueID. For Half.com, use AttributeArray.Attribute.Value.ValueLiteral in listing requests. That is, the parent elements and usage for Half.com differs from eBay's standard Item Specifics format (and there is no relationship to GetAttributesCS). For Half.com, AttributeArray.Attribute.Value.ValueLiteral is required when you use AddItem. See the eBay Web Services Guide for valid values. For the Half.com Notes attribute, the max length is 500 characters. You can revise AttributeArray.Attribute.Value.ValueLiteral for Half.com listings. Max length: see description. |
| Item.AutoPay | boolean | Conditional |
If true, the seller requests immediate payment for the item. If false or not specified, immediate payment is not requested. (In responses, does not indicate whether the item is actually still a candidate for purchase via immediate payment.) Only applicable to items listed on PayPal-enabled sites in categories that support immediate payment (see AutoPayEnabled in GetCategories), when seller has a Premier or Business PayPal account (see PayPalAccountType in Getuser). If true, the seller must also accept PayPal as a payment method for the item (see Item.PaymentMethods). See the eBay Web Services guide section on Immediate Payment for additional requirements and dependencies. Also see the section on working with the eBay Motors site for additional rules. To create an Immediate Payment listing ThirdPartyCheckout must be true, AutoPay must be true, PayPalEmailAddress must be a valid PayPal email address for the seller, and PaymentMethods must be PayPal. For a non-Immediate Payment listing, if ThirdPartyCheckout is true, AutoPay is not supported. Not applicable to Half.com. Default: false. See:
|
| Item.BestOfferDetails | BestOfferDetailsType | Optional |
Container for BestOffer properties associated with the item. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.BestOfferDetails .BestOfferEnabled |
boolean | Optional | Whether best offer is enabled for this item. A seller of a fixed price format item (in a category for which Best Offer is also enabled) can opt that item into the Best Offer feature. This feature enables a buyer to make a lower priced binding offer on that item. If a listing has no active best offers, you can change this value (true to false, and vice versa). If a listing does have active best offers, you cannot change the value to false. |
| Item.BuyerRequirementDetails | BuyerRequirementDetailsType | Optional |
New Container for buyer requirements. The old container, BuyerRequirements, has been deprecated. All global MyeBay Buyer Requirements are over-ridden by the contents of this container. This means that buyer requirements set in MyeBay cannot be combined with buyer requirements included in this container. When this container is present in an AddItem call, all buyer requirements for the resulting listing are set by this container. Furthermore, individual buyer requirements cannot be modified or added when including this container in a ReviseItem call. The ReviseItem call needs to provide the entire set of buyer requirements to modify or add any of the requirements. Unless otherwise specified, most buyer requirements are only returned if the caller is the seller. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .LinkedPayPalAccount |
boolean | Optional |
If true, only bidders with PayPal accounts may bid. This field can be returned even if the caller is not the seller. For AddItem, the seller's My eBay preference is automatically used with request version 453 and greater. For lower request versions, you must send in explicit BuyerRequirement input even if you have your "global" My eBay preferences set to require PayPal. Default: false. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumBuyerPolicyViolations |

Maximum allowed buyer policy violation reports against the buyer. If the limit is reached, the buyer can not bid on this item. Used with Period. Default: 4. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumBuyerPolicyViolations .Period |
PeriodCodeType | Optional |
If a buyer fails to follow eBay policy guidelines for an auction, they may incur a buyer violation report on their account. The Period and Count elements allow a seller to specify that only buyers with a specified number of buyer violation reports within a given period of time can bid on their item. If a buyer has more buyer violation reports than specified within these limits, the buyer can not bid on this item. The Period is the past number of days (last 60 days, last 180 days, etc.) within which the buyer violation reports are calculated. Used with Count. Default: Days_30. Applicable values: • Days_30
• Days_180
• Days_360
(Not all values in PeriodCodeType apply to this field.) |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumItemRequirements |
MaximumItemRequirementsType | Optional | If this field is included in your call, you can limit unpaying or low feedback bidders, by setting the MaximumItemCount and MinimumFeedbackScore to define when a bidder is blocked from bidding. Ignored as input if the application uses version 451 or older. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumItemRequirements .MaximumItemCount |
int | Optional | If this field is present, blocking is enabled, where the value of this field represents the maximum number of this seller's items a bidder is allowed to bid on in a 10 day period before being blocked. Valid values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumItemRequirements .MinimumFeedbackScore |
int | Optional |
This field is ignored on input unless MaximumItemCount has been provided. If MaximumItemCount is included in the call, both MaximumItemCount and MinimumFeedbackScore are used to determine whether the bidder is blocked from bidding. A user is blocked from bidding if they have reached or exceeded the MaximumItemCount and the user's feedback score is less than or equal to the value of this field. Valid values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumUnpaidItemStrikesInfo |
MaximumUnpaidItemStrikesInfoType | Optional | If provided, blocks bidders who have received the maximum unpaid item strikes (in a specific time period) from bidding on this item. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumUnpaidItemStrikesInfo .Count |
int | Optional |
Maximum allowed unpaid item strikes against the buyer. If the limit is reached, the buyer can not bid on this item. Used with Period. Default: 2. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MaximumUnpaidItemStrikesInfo .Period |
PeriodCodeType | Optional |
If a buyer fails to pay for an item, they incur an unpaid item strike on their account. The Period and Count elements allow a seller to specify that only buyers with a specified number of item strikes (or less) within a given period of time can bid on their item. If a buyer has more strikes than specified within these limits, the buyer can not bid on this item. The Period is the past number of days (last 60 days, last 180 days, etc.) within which the unpaid item buyer strikes are calculated. Used with Count. Default: Days_30. Applicable values: • Days_30
• Days_180
• Days_360
(Not all values in PeriodCodeType apply to this field.) |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .MinimumFeedbackScore |
int | Optional | If true, blocks bidders with this feedback score or lower. Ignored as input if the application uses version 451 or older. Valid values: -3, -2, -1. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .ShipToRegistrationCountry |
boolean | Optional |
If true, blocks bidders who are registered in countries where the seller has specified that he will not ship. Ignored as input if the application uses version 451 or older. Default: false. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .VerifiedUserRequirements |
VerifiedUserRequirementsType | Optional | If provided, blocks bidders who do not pass a simple check (for example, for credit card on file). Ignored as input if the application uses version 451 or older. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .VerifiedUserRequirements .MinimumFeedbackScore |
int | Optional |
This field is ignored unless VerifiedUser is true. If this field is present, the user's feedback score is also considered: a user is blocked from bidding if the user's feedback score is less than or equal to the value of this field. Default: 5. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .VerifiedUserRequirements .VerifiedUser |
boolean | Optional |
If true, blocks bidding by users who do not pass a simple check (for example, for credit card on file). See "Buyer Requirements - VerifiedUser" in the chapter "Field Differences for eBay Sites." Default: false. |
|
Item.BuyerRequirementDetails .ZeroFeedbackScore |
boolean | Optional |
If true, blocks bidders with a feedback score of 0 who attempt to bid on Buy It Now items worth 100 RMB or more. Ignored as input if the application uses version 451 or older. This requirement is only enabled for the CN site. Default: false. |
|
Item .BuyerResponsibleForShipping |
boolean | Optional |
Applicable for listings in vehicle categories on the US eBay Motors site and eBay Canada site. (No business effect if specified for other categories or sites, as the Web site will not display the information to buyers.) If true, the buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping. If false, specify vehicle shipping arrangements in the item description. Default is true. (The description can also include vehicle shipping arrangements when this value is true.) If the item has bids or ends within 12 hours, you cannot modify this flag. Do not specify ShippingDetails.ShippingServiceOptions for vehicle listings. If true and the listing is on the US eBay Motors site, and you want the listing to be visible on the eBay Canada site, set Item.ShipToLocations to CA. If true and the listing is on the eBay Canada site , and you want your listing to be visible on the US eBay Motors site, set Item.ShipToLocations to US. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.BuyItNowPrice | AmountType (double) | Optional |
For Chinese auction listings, Buy It Now allows a user to purchase the item at a fixed price and end the auction immediately. Use this field to add Buy It Now and specify the amount a buyer would need to bid to take advantage of the Buy It Now feature. On the main eBay site, not applicable to fixed-price items (ListingType values StoresFixedPrice or FixedPriceItem), AdFormat listings, or Half.com listings. For fixed-price and Half.com listings, see StartPrice instead. See the eBay Web Services Guide for validation rules when revising US eBay Motors listings, including rules for lowering the Buy It Now price of a Motors listing. Once a Chinese auction has bids (and the high bid exceeds the reserve price, if specified), the listing is no longer eligible for Buy It Now (with some exceptions noted below). However, calls like GetItem and GetSearchResults still return the BuyItNowPrice that the seller originally set for the listing. You can use Item.SellingStatus.BidCount to determine whether an auction with Buy It Now has bids or not. With GetSearchResults, you can use the Item.SearchDetails.BuyItNowEnabled flag to determine whether the item can still be purchased using Buy It Now. With GetItem, you can use the Item.ListingDetails.BuyItNowAvailable flag to determine whether the item can still be purchased using Buy It Now. On some sites, the Buy It Now price for a Chinese auction may remain available for certain categories even after a bid is placed. See the "Longer Lasting Buy It Now" link below for more details and the latest list of eBay US categories that support this behavior. The eBay Spain site supports this behavior for all categories. There might be price limits imposed for Buy It Now items, subject to the seller's PayPal account or the payment method used. Such limits cannot be determined via the eBay API and are not covered in eBay's API documentation because they can vary for each user. To remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField. See:
|
| Item.BuyItNowPrice [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item .CategoryBasedAttributesPrefill |
boolean | Optional |
Allows eBay to auto-fill some of a listing's Item Specifics (attribute) values based on the listing's category (or categories). Auto-filling attributes based on a category is not the same as using Pre-filled Item Information based on a catalog product (see ProductListingDetails). If true, also specify Item.CategoryMappingAllowed with a value of true. (Alternatively, you can auto-fill attributes on the client side by using mapping meta-data returned by GetAttributesCS.) See the eBay Web Services guide for more information. Ignored if the category does not support auto-filling attributes. If you also pass in attributes in AttributeSetArray, your values will override any auto-filled values for the same attributes. Once you have overridden the value of an auto-filled attribute for a given listing, eBay will not auto-fill it on subsequent ReviseItem requests (even if you remove the overridden value). Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.CategoryMappingAllowed | boolean | Optional |
Controls how eBay handles cases in which an ID specified in PrimaryCategory and/or SecondaryCategory no longer exists in the current category structure: If you pass a value of true in CategoryMappingAllowed, eBay will look up the current ID that is mapped to the same category and use the new ID for the listing (if any). The new ID will be returned in the response as CategoryID (for the primary category) or Category2ID (for the secondary category). If CategoryMappingAllowed is not set or contains a value of "false" (the default), an error will be returned if a selected category ID no longer exists. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.Charity | CharityType | Optional |
Identifies a Giving Works listing and the benefiting nonprofit charity organization selected by the charity seller, if any. If specified, the seller must also accept PayPal as a payment method for the item (see Item.PaymentMethods). When you revise an item, you can add a charity to a non-charity listing, but you cannot remove or change the charity designation. The rules for adding a charity to a listing depend on the listing type. For an auction listing, you can revise an item to add a charity if there are more than 12 hours left for the listing (whether or not the item has bids). For a fixed-price listing, you can revise an item to add a charity if there are more than 12 hours left for the listing, and the item has not been sold. For a Store Inventory listing, you can revise an item to add a charity if the item has not been sold. You cannot revise listings to add charity for Ad Format listings. When you relist an item, use DeletedField to remove charity information. Not applicable to Half.com. See:
|
| Item.Charity.CharityID | string | Conditional | A unique identification number assigned by eBay to registered nonprofit charity organizations. Required input when listing Giving Works items. |
| Item.Charity.CharityNumber | int | Optional | A unique identification number assigned to a nonprofit charity organization by the dedicated provider of eBay Giving Works. Being superseded by CharityID. Max 10 digits. |

This percentage is displayed in the Giving Works item listing. Possible values: 10.0 to 100.0. Percentages must increment by 5.0. Minimum donation percentages may be required for Giving Works listings, see http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/selling-nonprofit.html for details. DonationPercent is required input when listing Giving Works items. |
| Item.Country | CountryCodeType | Optional |
Two-letter ISO 3166 country code. In some calls, used with the Location field to indicate the city and country where the item is located. Also applicable as input to AddItem and related calls when you list items to Half.com (specify US). For English names that correspond to each code (e.g., KY="Cayman Islands"), call GeteBayDetails or see the following ISO site: http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html Applicable values: See Country. |
| Item.CrossBorderTrade | string | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
For a fee, enables a listing to be displayed in the default search results of another eBay site. Use this value if you want to take advantage of the International Site Visibility listing upgrade. |
| Item.Description | string | Conditional |
Description of the item. In listing requests, you can submit your description using CDATA if you want to use HTML or XML-reserved characters in the description. An error is returned if this contains malicious JavaScript content. (For related eBay policy, see http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-javascript.html.) The Description field is required for all listings, except certain listings that include Pre-filled Item Information. (See "About the Pre- filled Item Information API." in the eBay Web Services Guide.) Even if your application does not support listings items with Pre-filled Item Information, you should be aware that this also means GetItem, GetSellerList, and GetBidderList may return some items with empty Description fields. If you embed pictures in the description (by using IMG tags) instead of using PictureURL, but you want a camera icon to appear in search and listing pages, specify the following null-image URL in PictureURL: http://pics.ebay.com/aw/pics/dot_clear.gif. See "Including Pictures in an Item Listing" in the eBay Web Services Guide. Not applicable to Half.com. (For Half.com, use AttributeArray.Attribute with attributeLabel="Notes" to specify a brief description or note to the buyer.) Max length: 500000 (some sites may allow more, but the exact number may vary). |
| Item.DescriptionReviseMode | DescriptionReviseModeCodeType | Optional |
If you are changing the description of an item, specifies whether the new next is an addition, a replacement, and so on.
Applicable values: • Append (in) Specifies that you want to append text to the description text of an item. • CustomCode (in) Reserved for internal or future use. • Prepend (in) Specifies that you want to prepend text to the description text of an item. • Replace (in) Specifies that you want to replace the description text of an item. |
| Item.DisableBuyerRequirements | boolean | Optional |
If false (or omitted): if BuyerRequirementDetails are present, those requirements are to be used; otherwise, any requirements specified in My eBay are to be used. If true: no requirements are considered from any source (and if BuyerRequirementDetails are present, they are ignored). Default: false. |
| Item.DispatchTimeMax | int | Conditional |
Specifies the maximum number of business days the seller commits to for preparing an item to be shipped after receiving a cleared payment. This time does not include the shipping time (the carrier's transit time). For the AddItem family of calls: Required for listings in certain categories when certain shipping services (with delivery) are offered. See HandlingTimeEnabled in GetCategoryFeatures. The seller sets this to a positive integer value corresponding to the number of days. For a list of allowed values on each eBay site, use DispatchTimeMaxDetails in GeteBayDetails. (Typical values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, or 20, but this can vary by site and these may change over time.) Valid for flat and calculated shipping. Does not apply when there is no shipping, when it is local pickup only or it is freight shipping. For example, when ShippingService=Pickup or ShipToLocations=None, then DispatchTimeMax is not required (or it can be 0). To add Get It Fast to listings (for domestic shipping), in addition to setting GetItFast to true, DispatchTimeMax must be set to 1 and the seller must specify at least one qualifying expedited shipping service. For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and it ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. If the listing is a GTC listing that has sales or ends within 12 hours (one or the other, but not both), you can add or change this value. If the listing has no bids or sales and more than 12 hours remain before the listing ends, you can add or change the dispatch (handling) time. For GetItem: GetItem returns DispatchTimeMax only when shipping service options are specified for the item and the seller specified a dispatch time. See:

| Item.ItemSpecifics | NameValueListArrayType | Optional |
A list of attribute or Item Specific name and value pairs that the seller specified for the item. In the AddItem family of calls, use this for specifying custom Item Specifics. Note: If you are including an item condition, many categories may only support condition-based searches if you use AttributeSetArray or LookupAttributeArray. In these cases, you can use AttributeSetArray or LookupAttributeArray for the condition, and ItemSpecifics for the custom Item Specifics. To determine which categories support custom Item Specifics, use GetCategoryFeatures. Note: If you are trying to list with ID-based attributes from GetAttributesCS or GetProductSellingPages, use AttributeSetArray instead. To retrieve recommended Item Specifics, use GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations. In GetItemRecommendations, pass in the PrimaryCategory and (optionally) Title to retrieve recommended names and values. With GetItem, this is only returned when you specify IncludeItemSpecifics in the request (and the seller included custom Item Specifics in their listing). For ReviseItem only: When you revise a listing, if the listing has bids and ends within 12 hours, you cannot change or add Item Specifics. If the listing has bids but ends in more than 12 hours, you cannot change existing Item Specifics, but you can add Item Specifics that were not previously specified. To delete all Item Specifics when you revise or relist, specify Item.ItemSpecifics in DeletedField and don't pass ItemSpecifics in the request. With GetProducts, only the item condition is returned at the item level. Additional attributes that were pre-filled from the catalog are returned in Product.ItemSpecifics. See:
|
|
Item.ItemSpecifics .NameValueList |
NameValueListType | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
For the AddItem family of calls: Contains the name and value(s) for an Item Specific. Only required when the ItemSpecifics container is specified. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: The same NameValueList schema is used for the ItemSpecifics node, the VariationSpecifics node, and the VariationSpecifcsSet node. If the listing has varations, any name that you use in the VariationSpecifics and VariationSpecificsSet nodes can't be used in the ItemSpecifics node. When you list with Item Variations: a) Specify shared Item Specifics (e.g., Brand) in the ItemSpecifics node. b) Specify up to five VariationSpecifics in each Variation node. c) Specify all applicable names with all their supported values in the VariationSpecificSet node. See the Variation sample in the AddFixedPriceItem call reference for examples. For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. |
|
Item.ItemSpecifics .NameValueList.Name |
string | Optional |
A name in a name/value pair. For the AddItem and AddFixedPriceItem families of calls: In the Item.ItemSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use. However, to help buyers find items more easily, it is a good idea to try to use a recommended name when possible (see GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations). You can't specify the same name twice within the same listing. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: In the VariationSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use, unless the VariationsEnabled flag is false for the name in the GetCategorySpecifics response. For example, for some categories eBay may recommend that you only use "Brand" as a shared name at the Item level, not in variations. For GetCategorySpecifics and GetItemRecommendations: This is a recommended (popular) name to use for items in the specified category (e.g., "Brand" might be recommended, not "Manufacturer"). For search calls: In the GetSearchResults response, this the name of an attribute (Attribute) that was used in the listing. Specifically: If SearchRequest was used to perform a "Product Finder" search, this contains the name of one attribute (i.e, the name of one ID-based Item Specifics field). If IncludeCondition was true in the request, this returns the condition attribute name (e.g., "Item Condition"). In the GetProducts response, this is an attribute name that is defined for a catalog product. For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. |
|
Item.ItemSpecifics .NameValueList.Value |
string | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
A value associated with the name. For the AddItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics or Variation Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values. In VariationSpecificSet, you typically specify multiple Value fields for each name. For example, if Name=Size, you would specify all size values that you wan to offer in the listing. For GetCategorySpecifics and GetItemRecommendations: The most highly recommended values are returned first. For these calls, Value is only returned when recommended values are available. For search calls: In the GetSearchResults response, if SearchRequest was used to perform a "Product Finder" search, this contains the value of one attribute. If IncludeCondition was true in the request, this returns the condition attribute value (e.g., "New"). For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. Max length: 50 (see GeteBayDetails). |
| Item.LimitedWarrantyEligible | boolean | Conditional |
Applicable to US eBay Motors vehicle listings only. If false, the vehicle will not be considered for a limited warranty by eBay. If your application lists Motors vehicles, you must provide the seller with an opportunity to indicate whether the vehicle has not been modified and is not a special type (e.g., Corvette ZR1). If LimitedWarrantyEligible is passed in, it means the application has presented the seller with checkboxes to indicate this information. If true, the seller has verified that the vehicle has not been modified and is not a special type. If false, the seller has verified that vehicle has been modified or it is a special type. Passing a value of true does not guarantee that eBay will offer a limited warranty. It only makes the listing eligible for consideration. See the eBay Web Services Guide for more information about Motors vehicle listings. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item .ListingCheckoutRedirectPreference |
ListingCheckoutRedirectPreferenceType | Conditional | ProStores listing level preferences regarding the store to which checkout should be redirected for the listing if ThirdPartyCheckout is true.

For a ReviseItem call with site ID 100, prior use of a minimum best offer price on eBay.com is ignored. |
| Item.ListingDetails .BestOfferAutoAcceptPrice [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item.ListingDetails .MinimumBestOfferPrice |
AmountType (double) | Optional | Specifies the minimum acceptable best offer price. If a buyer submits a best offer that is below this value, the offer is automatically declined by the seller. Applies only to items listed in categories that support the Best Offer Auto-Decline feature. Best Offer must be enabled for the item, and only the seller who listed the item can see this value. To remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField. |
| Item.ListingDetails .MinimumBestOfferPrice [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item.ListingDetails .PayPerLeadEnabled |
boolean | Optional |
If true as an input or output field, the item is pay-per-lead-enabled. This field applies to the pay-per-lead feature, which is planned for availability on the US site in upcoming months. Default: false. |
| Item.ListingDuration | token | Optional |
Describes the number of days the seller wants the listing to be active (available for bidding/buying). The duration specifies the seller's initial intent at listing time. The end time for a listing is calculated by adding the duration to the item's start time. If the listing ends early, the value of the listing duration does not change. When a listing's duration is changed, any related fees (e.g., 10-day fee) may be debited or credited (as applicable). The valid choice of values depends on the listing format (see Item.ListingType). For a list of valid values, call GetCategoryFeatures with DetailLevel set to ReturnAll and look for ListingDurations information. When you revise a listing, the duration cannot be reduced if it will result in ending the listing within 24 hours of the current date-time. You are only allowed to increase the duration of the listing if fewer than 2 hours have passed since you initially listed the item and the listing has no bids. You can decrease the value of this field only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and the listing does not end within 12 hours. Required for Half.com (but only specify GTC). See:
Applicable values: See ListingDurationCodeType |
| Item.ListingEnhancement | ListingEnhancementsCodeType | Optional,

Contains the BoldTitle, Border, Featured and Highlight features. • ProPackPlusBundle (in/out) Support for this feature varies by site and category. A ProPackPlusBundle listing is using ProPackPlus bundle (a feature pack), which combines the features of BoldTitle, Border, Highlight, Featured (which is equivalent to a GalleryType value of Featured), and Gallery, for a discounted price.

Support for this feature varies by site and category. |
| Item.ListingSubtype2 | ListingSubtypeCodeType | Optional |
Indicates a specific type of lead generation format listing, such as classified ad or local market best offer listing. Only applicable when ListingType=LeadGeneration. Note: ListingSubtype2 replaces the deprecated ListingSubtype field. If both are specified in a request, ListingSubtype2 takes precedence.

Do not specify ListingType for eBay.com listings in ReviseItem. (You can't modify the listing type of an active eBay listing. Required for Half.com listings (and the value must be Half) in AddItem, VerifyAddItem, and ReviseItem.

(Not all values in ListingTypeCodeType apply to this field.) See:
|
| Item.Location | string | Conditional |
Indicates the geographical location of the item (along with Country). When you revise a listing, you can add or change this value only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours. If you do not specify Location, you must specify Item.PostalCode. If you specify a postal code, but do not specify a location, then the location is given a default value derived from the postal code. For the Classified Ad format for eBay Motors vehicles, the value provided in the Location is used as item location only if the SellerContactDetails.Street and the SellerContactDetails.Street2 are empty. Else, the SellerContactDetails.Street and the SellerContactDetails.Street2 will be used for item location. Also applicable as input to AddItem and related calls when you list items to Half.com. Max length: 45. |
| Item.LotSize | int | Optional |
A lot is a set of two or more similar items that must be purchased together in a single transaction. A listing can have multiple lots (instead of multiple items). When LotSize is specified, the listing price reflects the price of each lot (not each item within the lot). In this case, Quantity indicates the number of lots being listed, and LotSize indicates the number of items in each lot. (If a listing has no lots, Quantity indicates the number of separate items being listed.) Important: Lot items can be listed only in lot-enabled categories. GetCategories returns LSD (lot size disabled) with a value of true for categories that do not support lots. Not applicable to Half.com. Max: 100000. |
| Item.MotorsGermanySearchable | boolean | Optional |
Listing upgrade that features the item in eBay search results on the mobile.de partner site. Applicable to eBay Germany. If true in listing requests and responses, the seller is purchasing or has purchased cross-promotional placement on the mobile.de site. See the eBay Web Services Guide for applicable categories, revise and relist rules, and additional information on featuring vehicles on the Mobile.de Site. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.PaymentDetails | PaymentDetailsType | Optional |
Contains data associated with eBay Motors payments (Durations for deposit and full payments). Returned for Motors listings. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.PaymentDetails .DaysToFullPayment |
int | Optional |
Applies to vehicle categories on the US and Canada eBay Motors sites (not Parts and Accessories categories). Number of days after a listing closes that the buyer can take to pay the full cost of the vehicle. The choices are 3, 7, 10, and 14, and the default is 7. PayPal and credit cards cannot be used to pay the full cost of a vehicle, so the listing must offer MOCC (cashier's check), PersonalCheck, LoanCheck, CashInPerson, and/or PaymentSeeDescription as payment methods. Default: 7. |
|
Item.PaymentDetails .HoursToDeposit |
int | Optional |
Applies to US eBay Motors site (except Parts and Accessories category). Number of hours after a listing closes that the buyer can put down a deposit on an item (if the seller specified a deposit). Only takes effect if listing also includes the Deposit Amount and Deposit Type attributes (see AttributeSetArray). The choices are 24, 48, and 72, and the default is 48. Deposits can only be paid using PayPal, so the listing must offer PayPal as a payment method (in addition to the payment methods offered for the full payment). Default: 48. |
| Item.PaymentMethods | BuyerPaymentMethodCodeType | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Identifies the payment method (such as PayPal) that the seller will accept when the buyer pays for the item. Use GetCategoryFeatures to determine the payment methods that are allowed for a category on a site. For example, the response data of GetCategoryFeatures will show that on the US site, most categories only allow electronic payments. Also use GetCategoryFeatures to determine the default payment methods for a site. Do not use GeteBayDetails to determine the payment methods for a site. If you specify multiple PaymentMethods fields, the repeating fields must be contiguous. For example, you can specify PayPalEmailAddress after a list of repeating PaymentMethods fields, but not between them: <PaymentMethods>VisaMC</PaymentMethods> <PaymentMethods>PayPal</PaymentMethods> <PayPalEmailAddress>mypaypalemail@ebay.com</PayPalEmailAddress> In general, if you separate repeating instances of a field, the results will be unpredictable. This rule applies to all repeating fields (maxOccurs="unbounded" or greater than 1) in the schema. See "Overview of the Schema" in the eBay Web Services guide. Note: Required or allowed payment methods vary by site and category. Refer to Payment Method Differences (PaymentMethod) in the eBay Trading API Guide for information to help you determine which payment methods you are required or allowed to specify. Payment methods are not applicable to eBay Real Estate ad format listings, Classified Ad format listings, or Half.com. For ReviseItem and RelistItem only: A listing must have at least one valid payment method. When you revise or relist an item and you specify a payment method that is invalid for the target site, eBay ignores the invalid payment method, applies the other valid changes, and returns a warning to indicate that the invalid payment method was ignored. If multiple payment methods were invalid, the warning indicates that they were all ignored. If you modify the listing so that it includes no valid payment methods, an error is returned. This situation could occur when the seller removes all valid payment methods or when all the payment methods specified for the item are no longer valid on the target site. For GetProducts only: Only PayPal is returned in product search results. Applicable values: See PaymentMethods. See:
|
| Item.PayPalEmailAddress | string | Conditional |
Valid PayPal email address for the PayPal account that the seller will use if they offer PayPal as a payment method for the listing. eBay uses this to identify the correct PayPal account when the buyer pays via PayPal during the checkout process. (As a seller can have more than one PayPal account, you cannot necessarily rely on PayPal account data returned from GetUser for details about the account associated with the PayPal email address that the seller specifies.) Required if seller has chosen PayPal as a payment method (PaymentMethods) for the listing. For digital listings, the seller needs to use an email address that is associated with a PayPal Premier or PayPal business account. For ReviseItem and RelistItem only: To remove this value when you revise or relist an item, use DeletedField. When you revise a listing, if the listing has bids (or items have been sold) or it ends within 12 hours, you can add PayPalEmailAddress, but you cannot remove it. Not applicable to eBay Motors listings. Not applicable to Half.com. See:
|
| Item.PictureDetails | PictureDetailsType | Optional |
Contains the data for a picture associated with an item. Not applicable to Half.com. Note: PictureDetails replaces the deprecated SiteHostedPicture and VendorHostedPicture in the response with request version 439 or greater. As SiteHostedPicture and VendorHostedPicture are also no longer recommended on input, applications should use PictureDetails in the input as well. If SiteHostedPicture or VendorHostedPicture are passed in with PictureDetails, PictureDetails takes precedence. |
|
Item.PictureDetails .GalleryDuration |
token | Optional |
Describes the number of days that "Featured" Gallery type applies to a listing. Applicable values include 'Days_7' and 'LifeTime'. When a seller chooses "Featured" as the Gallery type, the listing is highlighted and is included at the top of search results. This functionality is applicable only for Gallery Featured items and returns an error for any other Gallery type. Additionally, an error is returned if the seller attempts to downgrade from Lifetime to limited duration, but the seller can upgrade from limited duration to Lifetime duration. This field is not applicable to auction listings. Applicable values: See ListingEnhancementDurationCodeType |
|
Item.PictureDetails .GalleryType |
GalleryTypeCodeType | Conditional |
Indicates whether listing images are included in the search results (in both Picture Gallery and List Views) and, if so, which image listing enhancements apply to them. Items that have pictures but do not have image listing enhancements display a generic photo image in search results. If the value is Gallery, Plus, or Featured, eBay checks the available image URLs in the following order to determine which URL to use (if more than one of these URLs is available): a) Use the URL in GalleryURL, if it is specified. b) Otherwise, if ProductListingDetails.UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery is true, use the eBay stock photo. c) Otherwise, use the value of the first PictureURL in the array of PictureURL fields, if any. d) Otherwise, if ProductListingDetails.ProductID is specified, use the eBay stock photo for that ProductID (eBay resets UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery to true in this case). e) If eBay is unable to find an image URL for the listing, an error is returned. Note that you can use the Gallery Plus feature whether or not the image is hosted with eBay Picture Services (EPS). Selecting Gallery Plus does not incur a separate Gallery fee. See "Describing Items in a Listing" in the eBay Web Services Guide for additional information about working with pictures and related validation rules. You cannot remove Gallery, Plus, or Featured when revising an item, however you can upgrade to a higher feature. On upgrade, the original feature fee is credited, and the new feature fee is charged. There are a number of categories on some eBay sites that always offer the Gallery feature for free. (The API doesn't flag these categories in any meta-data calls.) In these categories, if you specify a picture and you don't specify GalleryType, eBay may add GalleryType=Gallery to the listing (for free) and return a warning (error code 219243). The Knowledge Base explains an edge case that could result in an unexpected gallery fee if the seller moves the item to a category that doesn't offer the free gallery feature. This fee can also appear when if the seller moves the item from a site that offers free Gallery (across all its categories) to one where free Gallery is not yet available. Whenever you change the primary category, it is a good idea to clearly specify whether the seller is intentionally requesting the gallery option. Note: As of February 2008, the following sites offer free Gallery: US (site ID 0), Parts & Accessories Category on US Motors (site ID 100), CA (site ID 2), UK (site ID 3), CAFR (site ID 210), FR (site ID 71) and NL (site ID 146). Additionally, ES (site ID 186) and IT (site ID 101) offer free Gallery as of March 2008. On these sites, eBay will automatically create a Gallery thumbnail for the listing in search results by selecting a picture from one of the image URLs specified in the request (either Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL or Item.PictureDetails.GalleryURL) or from an available stock photo. Thus, a Gallery thumbnail will be created whenever Item.PictureDetails.GalleryType is None or is not specified in the request. A Gallery fee will apply whenever GalleryType specifies the Plus or Featured image enhancements (there will be no Gallery fee whenever GalleryType is Gallery, None or is not specified in the request). eBay will select the image for the thumbnail depending on which of the image URLs above was specified in the request (there are selection rules for four cases). Note that the selected image will not necessarily be the image you have specified in Item.PictureDetails.GalleryURL. Note that a Gallery thumbnail will not be automatically created if PictureURL and GalleryURL are not supplied and UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery and IncludeStockURL are set to false. The most common case occurs when both GalleryURL and PictureURL are specified in the request. eBay will use the image referenced by PictureURL as the Gallery thumbnail. As three other cases exist, please refer to "Using Gallery Features on Sites with Free Gallery" in the eBay Web Services Guide for complete information on how eBay selects an image for the gallery thumbnail on these sites. You cannot remove Gallery or Featured when revising an item, however you can upgrade to a higher feature. On upgrade, the original feature fee is credited, and the new feature fee is charged. (This does not apply to Gallery Plus on sites with free Gallery; see Plus below for more information.) Applicable values: • CustomCode (in/out) Reserved for internal or future use. • Featured (in/out) Listing is highlighted and included at the top of search results. • Gallery (in/out) Listing image is included in the search results (in both Picture Gallery and List Views). Items that have pictures but do not have the Gallery feature will have a generic photo image shown in search results. • None (in/out) Listing image is not included in the search results (in either Picture Gallery or List Views), and no other image listing enhancements apply. Items that have pictures but do not have image listing enhancements display a generic photo image in search results. • Plus (in/out) Listing image has Gallery Plus funtionality. That is, listing includes a Gallery Plus icon that, when moused over or clicked, displays a large (400 px x 400 px) preview image of the item. Clicking the image displays the View Item page for that listing. See:
|
| Item.PictureDetails.GalleryURL | anyURI | Conditional |
URL for a picture to be used as the Gallery thumbnail. Ignored if GalleryType is None or unspecified. If the value of GalleryType is Gallery or Featured, you can either specify GalleryURL or allow eBay to use another picture that you have included in the listing. Note: As of February 2008, the following sites offer free Gallery: US (site ID 0), Parts & Accessories Category on US Motors (site ID 100), CA (site ID 2), CA (site ID 2), UK (site ID 3), CAFR (site ID 210), FR (site ID 71) and NL (site ID 146). Additionally, ES (site ID 186) and IT (site ID 101) offer free Gallery as of March 2008. On these sites, eBay selects a Gallery thumbnail from image URLs included in the request (i.e. either GalleryURL or the first PictureURL), using selection rules that consider which of these URLs has been specified and whether an eBay stock photo exists for the item. Note that the selected gallery thumbnail may not necessarily be the one you specify using GalleryURL. Also, eBay selects an image regardless of whether you have specified either GalleryType or GalleryURL. A stock photo will not be generated for an item unless UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery and IncludeStockPhotoURL are set to true. Therefore, in this case, an item that does not have a PictureURL will not have a Gallery picture. A Gallery fee will only apply if you have set GalleryType to Plus or Featured (as basic Gallery is free). For more information on eBay's selection rules for the gallery thumbnail on sites with free Gallery, see "Using Gallery Features on Sites with Free Gallery" in the eBay Web Services Guide. (See GalleryType for the rules that determine which URL is used if you do not specify GalleryURL on sites where free Gallery is currently not available.) The image used for the Gallery thumbnail must be in one of the graphics formats JPEG, BMP, TIF, or GIF. See "Describing Items in a Listing" in the eBay Web Services Guide for additional validation rules. For eBay Live Auctions, lots are listed in the gallery for free. To remove GalleryURL when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField. When you revise an item, you can only remove GalleryURL if the item has at least one PictureURL or a stock photo to use instead. If the item has bids (or items have been sold) or the listing ends within 12 hours, you can add GalleryURL or change its value, but you cannot remove the gallery URL value if it was previously specified. Not applicable to eBay Motors listings. Max length: 1024. See:
|
|
Item.PictureDetails .PhotoDisplay |
PhotoDisplayCodeType | Conditional |
Specifies the type of image display used in a listing. Some options are only available if images are hosted through eBay Picture Services (EPS). eBay determines this by parsing the associated PictureURL. Cannot be used in combination with Listing Designer layouts. Specify None or do not add PhotoDisplay when ListingDesigner.LayoutID is a value other than 0.
Applicable values: • CustomCode (in/out) Reserved for internal or future use. • None (in/out) No special image display options. Valid for US Motors listings. • PicturePack (in/out) Increase the number of images displayed. Only available for images hosted with eBay. See GetCategoryFeatures and the online Help (on the eBay site) for additional information. Picture Pack applies to all sites (including US Motors), except for NL (site ID 146). You can specify a minimum of one EPS picture, or no SuperSize-qualified EPS pictures in the request. For the NL site, PicturePack is replaced with SuperSize. • SiteHostedPictureShow (in/out) This value is no longer applicable. Formerly, the value displays multiple, site-hosted pictures in a slideshow format. • SuperSize (in/out) Increase the size of each image and allow buyers to enlarge images further. Only available for site-hosted (EPS) images. Not valid for US Motors listings. For all sites that do not automatically upgrade SuperSize to PicturePack (see note below), specifying no SuperSize-qualified images is now accepted in the request. • SuperSizePictureShow (in/out) This value is no longer applicable. Use SuperSize instead. Formerly, the value displays multiple, super-size, site-hosted pictures in a slideshow format. Valid for US Motors listings. • VendorHostedPictureShow (in/out) This value is no longer applicable. Formerly, the value displays multiple, vendor-hosted pictures in a slideshow format. Not valid for US Motors listings. (Not all values in PhotoDisplayCodeType apply to this field.) |
| Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL | anyURI | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Note: As of February 2008, the following sites offer free Gallery: US (site ID 0), Parts & Accessories Category on US Motors (site ID 100), CA (site ID 2), CA (site ID 2), UK (site ID 3), CAFR (site ID 210), FR (site ID 71) and NL (site ID 146). Additionally, ES (site ID 186) and IT (site ID 101) offer free Gallery as of March 2008. On these sites, eBay selects a Gallery thumbnail from image URLs included in the request (i.e. either GalleryURL or the first PictureURL), using selection rules that consider which of these URLs has been specified and whether an eBay stock photo exists for the item. Also, eBay selects an image regardless of whether you have specified either GalleryType or GalleryURL. A stock photo will not be generated for an item unless UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery and IncludeStockPhotoURL are set to true. Therefore, in this case, an item that does not have a PictureURL will not have a Gallery picture. A Gallery fee will only apply if you have set GalleryType to Plus or Featured (as basic Gallery is free). As a result of these changes, the top of an item's listing page may not necessarily be the image you have specified in PictureURL for certain scenarios. For more information on eBay's selection rules for the gallery thumbnail on sites with free Gallery, see "Using Gallery Features on Sites with Free Gallery" in the eBay Web Services Guide. Contains the URL for an image associated with the item. Images can be hosted by eBay Picture Services (EPS) (or by eBay Picture Manager) or they can be self-hosted. Some options are only available if images are hosted through eBay Picture Services (EPS). eBay determines this by parsing the associated PictureURL value. If specified, this cannot have an empty/null value. To specify multiple pictures, send each URL in a separate, adjacent PictureURL element. In most cases, the image at the first URL is also used for the picture at the top of the View Item page on the Web site. On the main eBay site, a listing can have a maximum of 12 picture URLs hosted by eBay Picture Services or 1 picture URL hosted by a third-party vendor. You cannot mix vendor-hosted and site-hosted pictures within the same listing. On the US eBay Motors site (for all vehicle listings), and on the eBay Canada site for motors, the picture pack of a listing can contain up to 24 photos. On the eBay Live Auctions site, a listing can have a maximum of 5 picture URLs hosted by eBay Picture Services. If you embed pictures in the description (by using IMG tags) instead of using PictureURL, but you want a camera icon to appear in search and listing pages, specify the following "clear image" URL in PictureURL: http://pics.ebay.com/aw/pics/dot_clear.gif. Note: On sites that offer free Gallery, the camera icon will not be available to appear as a gallery thumbnail or in a listing page whenever the first PictureURL field in the request is set to the "clear image" URL. In this case, eBay will attempt to use the image referenced by GalleryURL as the gallery thumbnail. If GalleryURL has not been specified, a blank (camera-less) gallery thumbnail displays in the search results and at the top of the listing page. If you have set the first PictureURL to the "clear image" URL, you can either Item.ProductListingDetails.UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery or Item.ProductListingDetails.UseStockPhotoURL to true and eBay will use a stock photo, if available, for the gallery thumbnail as well as the picture that displays at the top of the listing page. Note that a gallery picture will not be generated if UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery and IncludeStockPhotoURL are set to false (or not set) and no alternative picture in PictureURL. A Gallery fee applies only if you have specified GalleryType as either Plus or Featured (see Item.PictureDetails.GalleryType above for information). See "Using Gallery Features on Sites with Free Gallery" in the eBay Web Services Guide for information on eBay's selection rules for Gallery pictures on sites with free Gallery. For VerifyAddItem only: For VerifyAddItem, you can use the following fake eBay Picture Services URL (http://i2.ebayimg.com/abc/M28/dummy.jpg) to verify that your application is obtaining the correct fees for the quantity of images you pass in. For ReviseItem and RelistItem only: To remove a picture when revising or relisting an item, specify PictureDetails with all the pictures that you want the listing to include. That is, you need to completely replace the original set of URLs with the revised set. To remove all PictureURL fields from a listing, specify item.PictureDetails.PictureURL in DeletedField. However, please note that if the listing also includes a gallery image that is based on the first picture in the listing, you may need to supply an alternate image to use as the gallery image if you delete all PictureURL fields. There are a number of categories on some eBay sites that always add the Gallery feature (for free) when you include a picture in the listing and you don't specify the Gallery feature yourself. See GalleryType for details about fees that could be charged if you change the category in these cases (or when revising a listing from a site with free gallery to one where free gallery is not yet available.) Max length: 150. See:
|
| Item.PostalCode | string | Optional |
Postal code of the place where the item is located. This value is used for proximity searches. To remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField. If you do not specify PostalCode, you must specify Item.Location. If you specify PostalCode, but do not specify Item.Location, then Item.Location is given a default value derived from the postal code. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.PrimaryCategory | CategoryType | Optional |
Category ID for the first (or only) category in which the item is listed (or will be listed, if the item is new). A number of listing features have dependencies on the primary category. We have pointed out a few of the notable dependencies below. See the descriptions of the fields you are using to determine whether the feature you're supporting depends on the listing's primary category. For the AddItem family of calls: Use calls like GetCategories and GetCategoryFeatures to determine valid values for the site on which you are listing (see the eBay Web Services Guide for information on working with categories). Also see Item.CategoryMappingAllowed and Item.CategoryBasedAttributesPrefill. There are a number of categories on some eBay sites that always add the Gallery feature (for free) when you include a picture in the listing and you don't specify the Gallery feature yourself. See GalleryType for information about fees that could be charged if you change the category in these cases. Not applicable to Half.com. For ReviseItem only: When revising a listing, you can change the primary category only if an item has no bids (or no items have sold) and the listing does not end within 12 hours. If you change the listing category, any Item Specifics (attributes) that were previously specified may be dropped from the listing if they aren't valid for the new category. See Item.AttributeSetArray. For the eBay US site, we suggest that you avoid including a category ID when you list with an external product ID, such as ISBN. See the KB article listed below for details. You cannot change the meta-categories for vehicles (i.e., you cannot change a truck to a motorcycle), but you can change the leaf category (e.g., change one motorcycle subcategory to another motorcycle subcategory). See the eBay Web Services Guide for additional rules. International sites (such as the eBay Germany site) have similar rules for revising vehicle categories. For GetItemRecommendations only: For GetItemRecommendations, use this value to control the category that is searched for recommendations. Specify the category in which the item will be listed. See Getting Recommendations to Improve a Listing in the eBay Web Services guide for differences in validation rules depending on whether you are using the Listing Analyzer engine, Product Pricing engine, or Suggested Attribute engine. For GetProducts: Use GetCategories if you need to determine the name of the category. See:
|
|
Item.PrimaryCategory .CategoryID |
string | Optional |
Distinct numeric ID for a category on eBay. In GetItem and related calls, see CategoryName for the text name of the category. Use GetCategories to look up the category parent ID. For GetPopularKeywords, -1 represents the root category. For GetItem, Half.com items return the Half.com category ID in PrimaryCategory. This ID is not necessarily returned in GetCategories. Max length: 10. |
| Item.PrivateListing | boolean | Optional |
If true, designates the listing as private. When you create a private listing, a buyer's User ID will not appear in the listing or in the listing's bid history. Sellers may want to use this option when they believe that potential bidders for a listing would not want their User IDs disclosed to others. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.ProductListingDetails | ProductListingDetailsType | Optional |
Specifies stock product information to include in a listing. Only applicable when listing items with product details. See the eBay Trading API Guide for information on listing with product details. As ProductID and ProductReferenceID are defined by eBay, they provide the most reliable means to identify a product. If you use ISBN, UPC, EAN, BrandMPN, and/or TicketListingDetails, eBay attempts to find a matching product on your behalf and use it in the listing. If no match is found, you can try using the catalog search calls (such as GetProductSearchResults or GetProducts) to find a ProductID or ProductReferenceID. When you specify ProductListingDetails, you must specify at least one product ID for the listing (ProductID, ProductReferenceID, ISBN, UPC, EAN, BrandMPN, and/or TicketListingDetails). If you specify more than one of these values (such as UPC and BrandMPN), eBay uses the first one that matches a product in eBay's catalog system. (This may be useful if you aren't sure which ID is more likely to result in a match.) If you do not specify a primary category, eBay determines the category based on the product ID (if a matching product is found in the system). If you do specify the category, it takes precedence (and it must be a catalog-enabled category that is valid for the product ID). If you list in two categories and the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this product should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category). If only one category is catalog-enabled, the product listing details should correspond to the catalog-enabled category. (Use GetCategory2CS to determine which categories are catalog-enabled.) Either Item.ExternalProductID or Item.ProductListingDetails can be specified in an AddItem request, but not both. (ExternalProductID will be deprecated in a future release.) For ReviseItem and RelistItem only: If a listing includes product details and you change a category, the rules for continuing to include product details depend on whether or not the new category is mapped to a characteristic set associated with the same product ID. When you revise a listing, if it has bids or it ends within 12 hours, you cannot change the product ID and you cannot remove existing product data. However, you can change or add preferences such as IncludeStockPhotoURL, UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery, and IncludePrefilledItemInformation. To delete all catalog data when you revise or relist an item, specify Item.ProductListingDetails in DeletedField and don't pass ProductListingDetails in the request. For GetItemRecommendations only: For GetItemRecommendations, see the eBay Web Services guide for validation rule differences when using the Product Pricing engine. Not applicable to Half.com. See:
|
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .BrandMPN |
BrandMPNType | Conditional | Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). The combination of Brand and MPN (manufacturer part number) can be used as a unique identifier for a product. Please specify both Brand and MPN to ensure a unique product match. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .BrandMPN.Brand |
string | Conditional |
The brand of the product. eBay searches against the names that are publicly available in eBay's catalogs. This means you can specify the well-known brand name that an average user would recognize. Specify this in combination with MPN. Note: If you want examples of brand names that eBay is likely to recognize, you can examine product details returned in GetProductSearchResults and GetProductSellingPages. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .BrandMPN.MPN |
string | Conditional | The manufacturer part number of the product. Use the value specified by the manufacturer. (eBay removes special characters and spaces to normalize the values in order to find a match.) |
| Item.ProductListingDetails.EAN | string | Conditional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). EAN is a unique 8 or 13 digit identifier that many industries (such as book publishers) use to identify products. If the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ID should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category). Max length: 13. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .IncludePrefilledItemInformation |
boolean | Optional |
If true, specifies that the listing should include additional information about the product, such as a publisher's description or film credits. Such information is hosted through the eBay site and cannot be edited. If true, Item.Description is optional in item-listing requests. Default: false. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .IncludeStockPhotoURL |
boolean | Optional |
If true, indicates that the item listing includes the stock photo. To use an eBay stock photo in an item listing, set IncludeStockPhotoURL to true. If a stock photo is available, it is used at the top of the View Item page and in the Item Specifics section of the listing. If you also include Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL, the stock photo only appears in the Item Specifics section of the listing. Other pictures you specify by using Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL appear in a separate section of the listing. If you use Item.ExternalProductID instead of Item.ProductListingDetails, eBay sets IncludeStockPhotoURL to true (and you cannot set it to false). In GetItem, the URL of the stock photo will be returned in StockPhotoURL. If you set IncludeStockPhotoURL to false, the stock photo does not appear in the listing at all. Note: As of February 2008, the following sites offer free Gallery: US (site ID 0), Parts & Accessories Category on US Motors (site ID 100), CA (site ID 2), CAFR (site ID 210), FR (site ID 71) and NL (site ID 146). Additionally, ES (site ID 186) and IT (site ID 101) offer free Gallery as of March 2008. On these sites, eBay selects a Gallery thumbnail from image URLs included in the request (i.e. either GalleryURL or the first PictureURL), using selection rules that consider which of these URLs has been specified and whether an eBay stock photo exists for the item. Also, eBay selects an image regardless of whether you have specified either GalleryType or GalleryURL. A Gallery fee will only apply if you have set GalleryType to Plus or Featured (as basic Gallery is free). Along with these changes, IncludeStockPhotoURL will be used in the request. In some cases, if IncludeStockPhotoURL is set to false, no image will be generated for the Gallery. A common example of this occurrence is when only GalleryURL has been set in the request (i.e., no PictureURL elements are defined). In this case, eBay will not use a stock photo, even if it is available. See "Using Gallery Features on Sites with Free Gallery" in the eBay Web Services Guide for complete information. Not applicable to Half.com. Default: false. See:
|
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .ISBN |
string | Conditional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). ISBN is a unique identifer for books (an international standard). Specify a 10 or 13-character ISBN. If you specify the 13-character ISBN, the value must begin with either 978 pr 979. If the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ID should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category). Max length: 13. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .ListIfNoProduct |
boolean | Optional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). Indicates what eBay should do if no product match has been found. If no product match was found and ListIfNoProduct is true, the item is listed without product information. (By default, eBay attempts to list the item with product information.) Note: If you omit PrimaryCategory and no product match is found, the listing will fail because eBay won't be able to determine a category without a product ID. Default: false. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .ProductID |
string | Conditional |
eBay's unique identifier for a specific version of a product. This is the long alphanumeric ID that is returned from GetProductSearchResults and related calls. See the Trading API Guide for information about finding this type of product ID. (For the shorter ePID value that is displayed on the eBay Web site, see ProductReferenceID instead.) If the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ID should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category). In item-listing requests, if you pass in an old product ID, eBay lists the item with the latest version of the product and the latest product ID, and the call returns a warning indicating that the data has changed. As of mid-2008, some sites (such as eBay US, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) are updating, replacing, deleting, or merging some products (as a result of migrating from one catalog data provider to another). If you specify one of these products in a request, the call may return the product with a warning, or it may fail with an error if the product has been deleted. Max length: 4000. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .ProductReferenceID |
string | Conditional |
eBay's global reference ID for a catalog product. On the eBay Web site, this is known as the "ePID". A reference ID is a fixed reference to a product (regardless of version). One reference ID can be associated with multiple ProductID values. The value should start with "EPID", for example "EPID30971438" (without quotes). You can find reference IDs for products by using GetProducts (or FindProducts in the Shopping API). You can also find the ePID on eBay's Web site. If the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ID should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category). As of mid-2008, some sites (such as eBay US, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) are updating, replacing, deleting, or merging some products (as a result of migrating from one catalog data provider to another). If you specify one of these products in a request, the call may return the product with a warning, or it may return an error if the product has been deleted. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .ReturnSearchResultOnDuplicates |
boolean | Optional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). Indicates what eBay should do if more than one product matches the external product ID (ISBN, UPC, EAN, BrandMPN, or TicketListingDetails). Also see UseFirstProduct as an alternative. If true and more than one match is found, the call fails and the response returns an error and all matching ProductID values. This lets you choose one of the ProductIDs to pass in instead. If false and more than one match is found, the call fails and the response includes an error but does not return the matching ProductID values. (This flag has no effect when only one match is found.) Default: false. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .TicketListingDetails |
TicketListingDetailsType | Conditional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). Only applicable when you are listing event tickets. Please note that the US eBay site and other sites may also require you to specify additional Item Specifics by using AttributeSetArray. This may depend on the location of the event. See the eBay Trading API Guide for more information about how to specify and troubleshoot these values.
See:
|
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .TicketListingDetails .EventTitle |
string | Conditional |
The name of the event, as shown on the ticket. Typically the headliner. There is no maximum number of words or characters. However, the words in the name must be an exact match (or a subset consisting of complete words) to the words in the product title in the catalog. The words in the name are matched using OR logic (the order of the words does not matter). As with all strings, you need to escape reserved characters such as ampersand. See the eBay Trading API Guide for more information about how to specify this value.
See Pre-filling a Ticket Listing Based on Keywords (Name, Venue, and Date). |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .TicketListingDetails .PrintedDate |
string | Conditional |
The date of the event, as shown on the ticket. Use the date shown on the ticket, without attempting to adjust it for a different time zone (such as Pacific time or GMT). In most cases, you should be able to specify any numeric date format in month/day/year order. eBay supports m or mm for the month, d or dd for the day, and yy or yyyy for the year, in all combinations. The delimiters must be forward slashes (/). |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .TicketListingDetails .PrintedTime |
string | Conditional |
The time of the event, as shown on the ticket. Use the time value shown on the ticket, without attempting to convert it to a different time zone (such as Pacific time or GMT). Do not round the value up or down (e.g., do not round 7:01 PM to 7:00 PM). In most cases, you should be able to specify the time format exactly as shown on the ticket. For a list of formats that have been tested, see the eBay Trading API Guide. See Pre-filling a Ticket Listing Based on Keywords (Name, Venue, and Date). |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .TicketListingDetails.Venue |
string | Conditional | The name of the venue, as shown on the ticket. The validation rules are the same as the rules for the event name. In addition, eBay supports both US English and UK English spelling variations for typical words found on tickets (such as "theater" and "theatre"). As with all strings, you need to escape reserved characters such as ampersand. |
| Item.ProductListingDetails.UPC | string | Conditional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). UPC is a unique, 12-character identifier that many industries use to identify products. If the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ID should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category). Max length: 12. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .UseFirstProduct |
boolean | Optional |
Applicable for listing use cases only (not buy-side searching). Indicates what eBay should do if more than one product matches the external product ID (ISBN, UPC, EAN, BrandMPN, or TicketListingDetails). Also see ReturnSearchResultOnDuplicates as an alternative. If more than one product match was found and UseFirstProduct is true, item will be listed with first product information. If false, the rules for ReturnSearchResultOnDuplicates are used. Default: false. |
|
Item.ProductListingDetails .UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery |
boolean | Optional |
If true, indicates that the stock photo for an item (if available) is used as the gallery thumbnail. When listing an item, IncludeStockPhotoURL must also be true and Item.PictureDetails.GalleryType must be passed in with a value of Gallery or Gallery Featured (but not both). Passing in Item.PictureDetails.GalleryURL takes precedence over UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery. See the eBay Trading API guide for additional validation rules for pictures. Note: As of February 2008, the following sites offer free Gallery: US (site ID 0), Parts & Accessories Category on US Motors (site ID 100), CA (site ID 2), CAFR (site ID 210), FR (site ID 71) and NL (site ID 146). Additionally, ES (site ID 186) and IT (site ID 101) offer free Gallery as of March 2008. On these sites, eBay selects a Gallery thumbnail from image URLs included in the request (i.e. either GalleryURL or the first PictureURL), using selection rules that consider which of these URLs has been specified and whether an eBay stock photo exists for the item. Also, eBay selects an image regardless of whether you have specified either GalleryType or GalleryURL. A Gallery fee will only apply if you have set GalleryType to Plus or Featured (as basic Gallery is free). Along with these changes, UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery will be used in the request. In some cases, if UseStockPhotoURLAsGallery is set to false, no image will be generated for the Gallery. A common example of this occurrence is when only GalleryURL has been set in the request (i.e., no PictureURL elements are defined). In this case, eBay will not use a stock photo, even if it is available. See "Using Gallery Features on Sites with Free Gallery" in the eBay Web Services Guide for complete information. See:
|
| Item.Quantity | int | Optional |
This meaning of this value depends on the context. For AddItem and related calls: Specify the number of identical items the seller has available for sale in this listing. For auctions (with competitive bidding), Quantity must be 1. For certain other formats (e.g., fixed-price) the Quantity can be 1 or more. See the eBay Web site online help to learn which selling formats support multi-quantity sales. For AddFixedPriceItem and VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: Required when no variations are specified. If variations are specified, use Variation.Quantity for each variation instead. For ReviseItem and ReviseFixedPriceItem: When you revise a listing (with no variations), you can add or change this value only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours. For auction items, a change in the auction's quantity could result in a change in the auction type. For example, on sites that support multi-quantity auctions (Dutch auctions), if the quantity is changed from 1 (a Chinese auction) to 2, the auction is now a Dutch auction. This may impose new requirements and fees on the seller. For GetSellerEvents calls, Quantity is returned only for listings where item quantity is greater than 1. In multi-variation listings, this value is the sum of all the variation quantities in the listing. For GetItem and related calls: This is the total of the number of items available for sale plus the quantity already sold. To determine the number of items available, subtract SellingStatus.QuantitySold from this value. Even for items that supported Dutch auctions, where one of several items can be purchased during the auction, this number does not change. For transaction calls with variations: In GetItemTransactions, Item.Quantity is the same as GetItem (the total quantity across all variations). In GetSellerTransactions, Transaction.Item.Quantity is the total quantity of the applicable variation (quantity available plus quantity sold). For SetCart input, this is only required if the parent container is submitted. Also applicable to Half.com (valid range 1 to 1000). You can revise this field for Half.com listings. Note: As of version 619, Dutch-style (multi-item) competitive-bid auctions are deprecated. eBay throws an error if you submit a Dutch item listing with AddItem or VerifyAddItem. If you use RelistItem to update a Dutch auction listing, eBay generates a warning and resets the Quantity value to 1. |
| Item.ReservePrice | AmountType (double) | Optional |
The lowest price at which the seller is willing to sell the item. (StartPrice must be lower than ReservePrice.) Not all categories support reserve prices. See GetCategories and "Determining Whether a Category Supports Reserve Prices" in the eBay Web Services guide. In calls that retrieve item data, ReservePrice only has a non-zero value for listings with a reserve price and where the user requesting the item data is also the item's seller. Not applicable to fixed- price items or ad format listings. You can remove the reserve price of a US eBay Motors listing if the category allows it, the current reserve price has not been met, and the reserve price is at least $2.00 more than the current high bid. In this case, if the item has bids, the reserve price is set to $1.00 over the current high bid. The next bid meets the reserve and wins. See the Fees Overview on the eBay Web site for information about fee credits that may be available when the reserve price is removed for a Motors listing. See the eBay Web Services guide for validation rules when revising US Motors listings. Not applicable to Half.com. See:
|
| Item.ReservePrice [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
| Item.ReturnPolicy | ReturnPolicyType | Optional |
Describes the seller's return policy. Most eBay categories require the seller to clearly specify whether or not returns are accepted (see ReturnsAcceptedOption). For the AddItem family of calls: Required for most categories on most sites. Use ReturnPolicyEnabled in GetCategoryFeatures to determine which categories require this field. Also use ReturnPolicyDetails in GeteBayDetails to determine which ReturnPolicy fields can be used on each site. For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and it ends within 12 hours, you can't change the return policy details. If the listing is a GTC listing that has sales or ends within 12 hours (one or the other, but not both), you can add a return policy to the GTC listing (but you can't change return policy details if already present). If the listing has no bids or sales and more than 12 hours remain before the listing ends, you can add or change the return policy. When you revise your return policy, you only need to specify the fields you want to add or change. You don't need to specify all the other ReturnPolicy fields again. The other fields will retain their existing settings. For the GetItem family of calls: Only returned if the site you sent the request to supports the seller's return policy. Typically, the return policy details are only returned when the request is sent to the listing site. See:
|
| Item.ReturnPolicy.Description | string | Optional |
A detailed explanation of the seller's return policy. For AddItem, VerifyAddItem, and RelistItem: If the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption=ReturnsAccepted) but does not specify this field when listing the item, GetItem returns this as an empty node For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details. Max length: 5000. See (GeteBayDetails) ReturnPolicyDetails.Description for sites that support this field. |
| Item.ReturnPolicy.EAN | string | Optional |
The European Article Number (EAN) associated with the item, if any. Refer to the ReturnPolicyDetails node in GeteBayDetails to determine which sites support this field. Only returned if the seller has specified this value in their return policy. For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details. See (GeteBayDetails) ReturnPolicyDetails.EAN for sites that support this field. |
| Item.ReturnPolicy.RefundOption | token | Optional |
Indicates how the seller will compensate the buyer for a returned item. Use the ReturnPolicy.Description field to explain the policy details (such as how quickly the seller will process the refund, whether the seller must receive the item before processing the refund, and other useful details.). Applicable values: Use GeteBayDetails to determine which sites support this field, and the applicable values for each site. (RefundOptionsCodeType defines all the possible values.) For AddItem, VerifyAddItem, and RelistItem (and corresponding FixedPrice calls): If the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption=ReturnsAccepted) but you do not pass in this RefundOption field when listing the item, some eBay sites may set a default value (like MoneyBack), and the seller is obligated to honor this setting. Therefore, to avoid unexpected obligations, the seller should set a specific value for this field. For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details. See (GeteBayDetails) RefundOption for sites that support this field, and applicable values. Applicable values: See RefundOptionsCodeType |
|
Item.ReturnPolicy .ReturnsAcceptedOption |
token | Optional |
Indicates whether the seller allows the buyer to return the item. This field is required when ReturnPolicy is specified. (If you specify ReturnsNotAccepted, the View Item page may initially show the return policy as unspecified. In a future release, the View Item page will be updated to indicate that returns are not accepted instead.) On the eBay UK and Ireland sites, business sellers must accept returns for fixed price items (including auction items with Buy It Now, and any other fixed price formats) when the category requires a return policy. Applicable values: Use GeteBayDetails to determine which sites support this field, and the applicable values for each site. (ReturnsAcceptedOptionsCodeType defines all the possible values.) For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details. See:
Applicable values: See ReturnsAcceptedOptionsCodeType |
|
Item.ReturnPolicy .ReturnsWithinOption |
token | Conditional |
The buyer can return the item within this period of time from the day they receive the item. Use the ReturnPolicy.Description field to explain the policy details. Applicable values: Use GeteBayDetails to determine which sites support this field, and the applicable values for each site. (ReturnsWithinOptionsCodeType defines all the possible values.) For AddItem, VerifyAddItem, and RelistItem: If the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption=ReturnsAccepted) but you do not pass in this ReturnsWithinOption field when listing the item, some eBay sites may set a default value (like Days_7), and the seller is obligated to honor this setting. Therefore, to avoid unexpected obligations, the seller should set a specific value for this field. For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details. See (GeteBayDetails) ReturnsWithinOption for sites that support this field, and applicable values. Applicable values: See ReturnsWithinOptionsCodeType |
|
Item.ReturnPolicy .ShippingCostPaidByOption |
token | Optional |
The party who pays the shipping cost for a returned item. Use the ReturnPolicy.Description field to explain any additional details. Applicable values: Use GeteBayDetails to determine which sites support this field, and the applicable values for each site. (ShippingCostPaidByOptionsCodeType defines all the possible values.) For AddItem, VerifyAddItem, and RelistItem: If the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption=ReturnsAccepted) but you do not pass in this ShippingCostPaidByOption field when listing the item, some eBay sites may set a default value (like Buyer), and the seller is obligated to honor this setting. Therefore, to avoid unexpected obligations, the seller should set a specific value for this field. For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details. See (GeteBayDetails) ShippingCostPaidByOption for sites that support this field, and applicable values. Applicable values: See ShippingCostPaidByOptionsCodeType |
|
Item.ReturnPolicy .WarrantyDurationOption |
token | Optional |
The warranty period. Applicable values: Use GeteBayDetails to determine which sites support this field, and the applicable values for each site. (Initially, only the eBay India site supports this field.) (WarrantyDurationOptionsCodeType defines all the possible values.)

(Real Estate, Mature Audience (adult), and Business & Industrial categories are not eligible for listing in two categories in this manner.) For example, if you list on Motors, the primary category could be 6750 (eBay Motors > Parts & Accessories > Apparel & Merchandise > Motorcycle > Jackets & Leathers), and the secondary category could be 57988 (eBay > Clothing, Shoes > Accessories > Men's Clothing > Outerwear). If you list on the main eBay site, the primary category could be 57988 and the secondary category could be 6750. To remove this value when relisting an item, use DeletedField. For ReviseItem only: When revising a listing, you can add, remove, or change the secondary category only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours. If you change the secondary category, any corresponding Item Specifics (attributes) that were previously specified may be dropped from the listing if they aren't valid for the category. See Item.AttributeSetArray. When you revise an item, you can change the secondary category from a Motors Parts & Accessories category to an eBay category or vice versa if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours.

|
Item.ShippingDetails .CalculatedShippingRate .InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts |
AmountType (double) | Optional | Fees a seller might assess for the shipping of the item (in addition to whatever the shipping service might charge). Any packaging/handling cost specified on input is added to each shipping service on output. If domestic and international calculated shipping is offered for an item and if packaging/handling cost is specified only for domestic shipping, that cost will be applied by eBay as the international packaging/handling cost.

Only returned if the seller specified the value for the item. (In many cases, the seller only specifies the weight fields.) Developer impact: UPS requires dimensions for any Ground packages that are 3 cubic feet or larger and for all air packages, if they are to provide correct shipping cost. If package dimensions are not included for an item listed with calculated shipping, the shipping cost returned will be an estimate based on standard dimensions for the defined package type. eBay enforces a dimensions requirement on listings so that buyers receive accurate calculated shipping costs. |

If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated.

Whether the seller offers shipping insurance and, if so, whether the insurance is optional or required. Optional as input and only allowed if ChangePaymentInstructions is true. If this field is not included in the request, values specified in the InsuranceFee field will be ignored. Note: Note that sellers are responsible for the items they sell until they safely arrive in their customers' hands, and that offering buyer-paid insurance (either as an optional or required service) infers that the buyer is somehow responsible for the safe delivery of the items they purchase.

This field is always returned with a request version lower than 635. With a request version of 635 or higher, this field is only returned if the value is other than NotOffered. Valid only on the following sites: AU, FR, and IT If you include buyer-paid shipping insurance for an item listed on one of the sites that supports this option, a buyer on a site that does not support buyer-paid shipping insurance can still purchase the item.

Item.ShippingDetails .InternationalShippingServiceOption |
InternationalShippingServiceOptionsType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Shipping costs and options related to an international shipping service. If used, at least one domestic shipping service must also be provided in ShippingServiceOptions. If you specify multiple InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes, the repeating nodes must be contiguous. That is, you cannot insert other nodes between InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes. If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit InternationalShippingServiceOption, eBay will drop the international shipping services from the listing. This may also have unintended side effects, as other fields that depend on this data may be dropped as well. To retain the shipping services and dependent fields when you modify other shipping details, it may be simplest to specify all ShippingDetails that you still want to include in the listing. A seller can offer up to three domestic shipping services and up to three international shipping services. All domestic services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated); the same is true for international shipping services offered by the seller. Not applicable to Half.com or eBay Motors vehicle listings.

This field can be specified regardless of the shipping type eBay only allows 500 characters as input, but due to the way the eBay Web site UI treats characters, this field can return more than 500 characters in the response. Characters like & and ' (apostrophe/single quote) count as 5 characters each. Use DeletedField to remove this value when revising or relisting an item. Applicable to eBay Motors (usually used to elaborate on the return policy). Not applicable to Half.com. Max length: 1000. See:
|
|
Item.ShippingDetails .PromotionalShippingDiscount |
boolean | Conditional |
On input, this specifies whether to offer the promotional shipping discount for the domestic shipping services of this listing (only applicable if the seller has a promotional shipping discount in effect at the moment). Returned on output only if the seller is making the call. This indicates whether the promotional shipping discount is being offered for the domestic shipping services of this listing (if the listing is still active--this is only possible if the seller has a promotional shipping discount in effect at the moment) or whether the discount was offered at the time the listing ended. |
| Item.ShippingDetails.SalesTax | SalesTaxType | Optional |
Sales tax details. US site only. Flat and calculated shipping. Not applicable to eBay Motors vehicle listings. Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders). |
|
Item.ShippingDetails.SalesTax .SalesTaxPercent |
float | Optional |
Percent of an item's price to be charged as the sales tax for the transaction. The value passed in is stored with a precision of 3 digits after the decimal point (##.###). Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders). |
|
Item.ShippingDetails.SalesTax .SalesTaxState |
string | Optional |
State or jurisdiction for which the sales tax is being collected. Only returned if the seller specified a value. Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders). |
|
Item.ShippingDetails.SalesTax .ShippingIncludedInTax |
boolean | Optional |
(US only) Whether shipping costs were part of the base amount that was taxed. Flat or calculated shipping. Applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders). |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingDiscountProfileID |
string | Conditional | On input, this is the ID of the shipping discount to offer for the domestic shipping services (where the shipping discount is either of type FlatShippingDiscount or CalculatedShippingDiscount). On output, this is the ID of the shipping discount offered and corresponds to whichever is returned: FlatShippingDiscount or CalculatedShippingDiscount. Only returned if the calling user is the seller. If the user created a shipping discount profile, use the ShippingDiscountProfileID instead of ItemType.ApplyShippingDiscount. Only returned if the calling user is the seller. |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions |
ShippingServiceOptionsType | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Shipping costs and options related to domestic shipping services offered by the seller. Flat and calculated shipping. Required if InternationalShippingServiceOption is specified. For flat shipping, a maximum shipping cost may apply when listing. See Shipping documentation for details about Maximum Flat Rate Shipping Costs. If you specify multiple ShippingServiceOptions nodes, the repeating nodes must be contiguous. For example, you can insert InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes after a list of repeating ShippingServiceOptions nodes, but not between them: If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit ShippingServiceOptions, eBay will drop the domestic shipping services from the listing. This may also have unintended side effects, as other fields that depend on this data may be dropped as well. To retain the shipping services and dependent fields when you modify other shipping details, it may be simplest to specify all ShippingDetails that you still want to include in the listing. A seller can offer up to three domestic shipping services and up to three international shipping services. All domestic services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated); the same is true for international shipping services offered by the seller. Not applicable to Half.com or eBay Motors vehicle listings. See Overview of the API Schema for rules regarding repeating instances of a nodes (nodes for which maxOccurs is "unbounded" or is greater than 1). |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .FreeShipping |
boolean | Optional | A seller offers free shipping by setting FreeShipping to true. This free shipping applies only to the first domestic shipping service. (It is ignored if set for any other shipping service.) If the seller has required shipping insurance as part of shipping (the seller set InsuranceOption to Required) and then the seller specified FreeShipping, eBay sets the insurance cost to 0. However, if the seller made shipping insurance optional, eBay preserves the cost of shipping insurance; it is up to the buyer whether to buy shipping insurance, regardless of whether the seller specified FreeShipping. |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingService |
token | Conditional |
A domestic shipping service offered for shipping the item (for example, UPS Ground). For a list of valid values that you can cache for future use, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingServiceDetails. For flat and calculated shipping. Also applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders). If there are two or more services and one is "pickup", "pickup" must not be specified as the first service. See GeteBayDetails. Applicable values: See ShippingServiceCodeType |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingServiceAdditionalCost |
AmountType (double) | Optional | The cost of shipping each additional item beyond the first item. For input, this is required if the listing is for multiple items and should be zero for single-item listings. Default value is 0.00. For flat shipping only. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingServiceAdditionalCost [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingServiceCost |
AmountType (double) | Conditional |
The meaning of this element depends on the call and on whether flat or calculated shipping has been selected. (For example, it could be the cost to ship a single item, the cost to ship all items, or the cost to ship just the first of many items, with ShippingServiceAdditionalCost accounting for the rest.) When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping. Also applicable to Half.com (for GetOrders). |
| Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingServiceCost [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingServicePriority |
int | Conditional | Seller-preferred presentation order relative to other service options. Valid values: 1 (1st choice), 2 (2nd choice), 3 (3rd choice). For flat and calculated shipping. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingSurcharge |
AmountType (double) | Conditional | An additional fee to charge US buyers who ship via UPS to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. Can only be assigned a value for the eBay US site and for items in the Parts and Accessories category of the eBay Motors site. Only returned if set. If some transactions in an order have a surcharge, surcharge is added only for those transactions. Flat rate shipping only. |
| Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingServiceOptions .ShippingSurcharge [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item.ShippingDetails .ShippingType |
ShippingTypeCodeType | Optional |
The shipping cost model offered by the seller. This is not returned for various calls since shipping type can be deduced: if a CalculatedShippingRate structure is returned by the call, the shipping type is Calculated. Otherwise, it is one of the other non-Calculated shipping types. Not applicable to Half.com. Applicable values: • Calculated (in/out) Calculated shipping model: the cost of shipping is determined in large part by the seller-offered and buyer-selected shipping service. The seller might assess an additional fee via PackagingHandlingCosts. • CalculatedDomesticFlatInternational (in/out) The seller specified one or more calculated domestic shipping services and one or more flat international shipping services. • CustomCode (in/out) Reserved for future use. • Flat (in/out) Flat shipping model: the seller establishes the cost of shipping and cost of shipping insurance, regardless of what any buyer-selected shipping service might charge the seller. • FlatDomesticCalculatedInternational (in/out) The seller specified one or more flat domestic shipping services and one or more calculated international shipping services. • FreightFlat (in/out) Freight shipping model: freight shipping may be used when flat or calculated shipping cannot be used due to the greater weight of the item. See "Specifying Freight Shipping" in the Shipping chapter for details on freight shipping. • NotSpecified (in/out) The seller did not specify the shipping type. (Not all values in ShippingTypeCodeType apply to this field.) |
|
Item .ShippingTermsInDescription |
boolean | Optional |
Indicates whether details about shipping costs and arrangements are specified in the item description. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.ShipToLocations | string | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
An international location or region to which the seller is willing to ship, regardless of shipping service. The country of the listing site is added by eBay. Use GeteBayDetails with a DetailName of ShippingLocationDetails to determine which international locations are valid for the site. Omit ShipToLocations if you want to ship only within the country of the listing site. To state that you do not wish to ship at all, set ShipToLocations to None. ReviseItem can add a ShipToLocations. On output, ShipToLocations is the collection of all input item-level ShipToLocations plus international shipping service-level ShipToLocation values. If you have specified a region to which you will ship (such as Asia), you can use ExcludeShipToLocation to exclude certain countries within that region to where you will not ship (such as Afghanistan). Not applicable to Half.com. Max length: length of longest name in ShippingRegionCodeType and CountryCodeType. See:
Applicable values: See CountryCodeType, ShippingRegionCodeType |
| Item.SKU | SKUType (string) | Optional |
A SKU (stock keeping unit) is an identifier defined by a seller. Some sellers use SKUs to track complex flows of products and information on the client side. A seller can specify a SKU when listing an item with AddItem and related calls. eBay preserves the SKU on the item, enabling you to obtain it before and after a transaction is created. (SKU is recommended as an alternative to ApplicationData.) A SKU is not required to be unique. A seller can specify a particular SKU on one item or on multiple items. Different sellers can use the same SKUs. If the SKU is unique across a seller's active listings, and if the seller listed the item by using AddFixedPriceItem or RelistFixedPriceItem, the seller can also set Item.InventoryTrackingMethod to SKU in those calls. This allows the seller to use SKU instead of ItemID as a unique identifier in subsequent calls, such as GetItem and ReviseInventoryStatus. If both ItemID and SKU are specified in calls that support the use of SKU as a unique identifier, the ItemID value takes precedence. For multi-variation listings, the SKU can be used to uniquely identify a variation that is being revised or relisted. If InventoryTrackingMethod is ItemID, an ItemID is also required. When both SKU and VariationSpecifics are passed in the request, the variation specifics take precedence as the unique identifier. Note: The eBay Web site UI cannot identify listings by SKU. For example, My eBay pages and Search pages all identify listings by item ID. When a buyer contacts you via eBay's messaging functionality, eBay uses the item ID as the identifier. Buyer-focused APIs (like the Shopping API) also do not support SKU as an identifier. For revising and relisting only: To remove a SKU when you revise or relist an item, use DeletedField. (You cannot remove a SKU when Item.InventoryTrackingMethod is set to SKU.) For GetMyeBaySelling, this is only returned if set. Not applicable to Half.com. Max length: 50. See eBay Merchant Data API for AddFixedPriceItem and ReviseFixedPriceItem. |
| Item.SkypeContactOption | SkypeContactOptionCodeType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Specifies the Skype contact options supported. Requires that SkypeEnabled is set to true. Available if the seller has a Skype account and has linked it (on the eBay site) with his or her eBay account.
Applicable values: • Chat (in/out) The Skype Chat contact option. • CustomCode
• Voice (in/out) The Skype Voice contact option. |
| Item.SkypeEnabled | boolean | Optional | Specifies that Skype-related information is included with an item listing, including, for example, Skype Voice. Skype-related information provides buttons that enable potential buyers to contact sellers through Skype. Information about Skype is available at www.Skype.com. If all of the prerequisites for adding Skype buttons to listings are met (see the eBay Web Services Guide), you can make communication through Skype available in listings. SkypeEnabled must be true if SkypeID and SkypeContactOption are specified. |
| Item.SkypeID | string | Optional | The Skype name of the seller. Requires that SkypeEnabled is set to true. Available if the seller has a Skype account and has linked it (on the eBay site) with his or her eBay account. |
| Item.StartPrice | AmountType (double) | Optional |
The original price of the item at listing or re-listing time. If this value changes when the item is revised, the new value becomes the original price. For auction-type listings: Competitive bidding starts at this value. Once at least one bid has been placed, StartPrice remains the same but CurrentPrice is incremented to the amount of each succeeding bid. If ReservePrice is also specified, the value of StartPrice must be lower than the value of ReservePrice. For input on fixed-price listings (FixedPriceItem) and Store Inventory (StoresFixedPrice) listings: This is the constant price at which a buyer may purchase the item. GetMyeBaySelling does not return Item.StartPrice for fixed price items--it returns Item.SellingStatus.CurrentPrice. For AddFixedPriceItem and VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: Required when no variations are specified. If variations are specified, use Variation.StartPrice for each variation instead. Also applicable to Half.com (valid range 0.75 to 9999.99). You can revise this field for Half.com listings. |
| Item.StartPrice [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
| Item.Storefront | StorefrontType | Optional |
Contains information related to the item in the context of a seller's eBay Store. Applicable for auction formats, Basic Fixed Price, and Store Inventory format items listed by eBay Stores sellers. Not applicable to Half.com. |
|
Item.Storefront .StoreCategory2ID |
long | Optional |
Applicable for eBay Store sellers only. Numeric ID for a second custom category that the seller created in their eBay Store. eBay Stores sellers can create up to 300 custom categories for their stores. (One additional Store category cannot be customized and retains the value of "Other"). If you specify an invalid value, the values are the same for both the primary and secondary store categories, or if the seondary store category is specified but the primary is left blank (or other), the system resets the value to 0 (None). In short, the primary store category must be set to something meaningful and different from the second store category in order to set the secondary store category to a value other than 0. In GetSearchResults and GetProducts, this field currently returns 0. As a workaround, use GetItem or related calls to get the ID. |
|
Item.Storefront .StoreCategoryID |
long | Optional | Numeric ID for a custom category that the seller created in their eBay Store, if any. eBay Stores sellers can create up to three levels of custom categories for their stores. Items can only be listed in store categories that have no child categories (subcategories). If you attempt to list an item in a category that has subcategories, the call response contains a warning, and the item is listed in the Other store category. In GetSearchResults and GetProducts, this field currently returns 0. As a workaround, use GetItem or related calls to get the ID. |
| Item.SubTitle | string | Optional |
Subtitle to use in addition to the title. Provides more keywords when buyers search in titles and descriptions. You cannot use HTML in the Subtitle. (HTML characters will be interpreted literally as plain text.) If you pass any value, this feature is applied (with applicable fees). Not applicable to listings in US eBay Motors passenger vehicle, motorcycle, and "other vehicle" categories or to listings in CA eBay Motors passenger vehicle and motorcycle categories. For eBay Motors categories that do not support this field, use Item Specifics (AttributeSetArray) to specify the vehicle subtitle. When you revise a item, you can add, change, or remove the subtitle. Not applicable to Half.com. Max length: 55. See:
|
| Item.ThirdPartyCheckout | boolean | Optional |
Whether checkout for this is to be handled by a Third-Party Checkout application. Only for authorized Third-Party Checkout applications. See "Third-Party Checkout" in the main documentation. The counterpart in the GetItem family of calls is Item.ShippingDetails.ThirdPartyCheckout. To create an Immediate Payment listing ThirdPartyCheckout must be true, AutoPay must be true, PayPalEmailAddress must be a valid PayPal email address for the seller, and PaymentMethods must be PayPal. For a non-Immediate Payment listing, if AutoPay is true, ThirdPartyCheckout is not supported. Not applicable to Half.com. See:
|
|
Item .ThirdPartyCheckoutIntegration |
boolean | Optional |
Only authorized Third-Party Checkout providers can use this flag. If you are a seller, subscribe to Checkout notifications through a supporting application. Set this flag to true to enable Checkout notifications for a particular listing. IMPORTANT: If you are not authorized to support Third Party Checkout and your application is not the original listing application, never specify ThirdPartyCheckout or ThirdPartyCheckoutIntegration in your request (even if you revise a listing that already includes these flags). Otherwise you may get unexpected results. Returned only if true for a listing. Not applicable to Half.com. Default: false. |
| Item.Title | string | Optional |
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. |
| Item.UpdateReturnPolicy | boolean | Optional | Specifies whether the Return Policy Details have been updated for the item specified in the request. |
| Item.UpdateSellerInfo | boolean | Optional | Specifies whether the following Business Seller fields have been updated for the item specified in the request: First Name, Last Name, Fax, Email Address, Additional Contact Information, Trade Registration Number, VAT Identification Number. |
| Item.UseTaxTable | boolean | Optional |
Indicates whether the seller's tax table is to be used when applying and calculating taxes. If true, a tax table must exist for the seller, and the following tags should not be used: SalesTaxState, SalesTaxPercent, ShippingIncludedInTax. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Item.Variations | VariationsType | Optional |
Variations are multiple similar (but not identical) items in a single fixed-price (or Store Inventory Format) listing. For example, a single listing could contain multiple items of the same brand and model that vary by color and size (like "Blue, Large" and "Black, Medium"). Each variation can have its own quantity and price. For ReviseFixedPriceItem and RelistFixedPriceItem: Once a listing has been submitted with variations, you can't delete all the variations when you revise or relist the listing (because it would be considered a different listing). You also can't add or change variation specifics (because they are unique identifiers). However, you can delete or replace individual variations as needed to match your current inventory. If a variation has no transactions, use the Variation.Delete field to delete the variation. If it has inventory, set the Quantity to 0. As a best practice, if you want to revise multiple variations in the same listing at the same time (i.e, within a very short period), use a single ReviseFixedPriceItem request and include all the variation revisions in the same request. If your application design requires you to revise each variation individually, then avoid using multiple parallel threads. Instead, use a serial, synchronous process. That is, wait until each revision has been processed by eBay before submitting the next revision request for another variation in the same listing. For GetItem and related calls Only returned when a listing has variations. For GetSellerList: Only returned when a listing has variations, IncludeVariations was set to true in the request, the DetailLevel was set to ReturnAll, and an applicable pagination value and time range were specified. For GetItemTransactions Only returned in Item when a listing has variations and IncludeVariations was set to true in the request. (Also see Variation returned in Transaction for information about which variation was actually purchased.) |
| Item.Variations.Pictures | PicturesType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..1] |
Contains a set of pictures that correspond to one of the variation specifics, such as Color. For example, if a listing has blue and black color variations, you could choose Color for all the pictures, and then include a set of pictures for the blue variations and another set of pictures for the black variations. We strongly recommend that you also include shared pictures in Item.PictureDetails, as this results in a better experience for buyers. For ReviseFixedPriceItem only: To replace or delete individual pictures, pass in the entire Pictures node with the complete set of variation pictures that you want in the listing. If the applicable variations have purchases or the listing ends in less than 12 hours, you can add pictures, but you can't remove existing pictures. Note: Only one Pictures node is allowed for a listing. However, the node has been defined as unbounded (repeatable) in the schema to allow for different use cases for some calls or sites in the future. |
|
Item.Variations.Pictures .VariationSpecificName |
string | Optional | One aspect of the variations that will be illustrated in the pictures for all variations. For example, if each variation is visually distinguished by color and the pictures show the different colors available, then specify "Color" as the name. The name must match one of the names specified in the variation specifics. Required when variation pictures are present. |
|
Item.Variations.Pictures .VariationSpecificPictureSet |
VariationSpecificPictureSetType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
One or more pictures that help buyers distinguish the Variations. Multiple picture sets can be specified. For example, suppose a listing contains blue and black color variations, and VariationSpecificName=Color. In this case, one picture set could contain pictures of the blue shirts (e.g., front view, back view, and close-up of a trim detail), and another picture set could contain pictures of the black shirts. At least one picture set is required if the Pictures node is present in the request. You are not required to provide pictures for all values that correspond to the variation specific name. For example, a listing could have pictures depicting the blue and black color variations, but not the pink variations. |
|
Item.Variations.Pictures .VariationSpecificPictureSet .PictureURL |
anyURI | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
The URL of a picture that is associated with VariationSpecificValue. Images can be hosted by eBay Picture Services (EPS) or they can be self-hosted, but you can't mix the two. (That is, pictures in PictureDetails and VariationSpecificPictureSet need to either all be hosted by EPS, or all self-hosted.) If specified, this cannot have an empty/null value. To specify multiple pictures, send each URL in a separate, adjacent PictureURL field. The first PictureURL is also used as the gallery picture for applicable variations. For example, if the picture set contains pictures of red shirts (i.e., VariationSpecificName=Color and VariationSpecificValue=Red), the first picture is used as the gallery picture for all the red shirt variations. You can use Item.PictureDetails to specify additional pictures. For example, the item-level pictures could include a model wearing a black shirt, as a typical example of the shirt style. |
|
Item.Variations.Pictures .VariationSpecificPictureSet .VariationSpecificValue |
string | Optional | A value that is associated with VariationSpecificName. For example, suppose this set of pictures is showing blue shirts, and some of the variations include Color=Blue in their variation specifics. If VariationSpecificName is "Color", then VariationSpecificValue would be "Blue". |
| Item.Variations.Variation | VariationType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Contains data that distinguishes one variation from another. For example, if the items vary by color and size, each Variation node specifies a combination of one of those colors and sizes. When listing or relisting an item, you are allowed to create a listing with only one variation if you plan to add more variations to it in the future. However, if you don't plan to add other variations, we recommend that you avoid listing with only one variation, so that you avoid confusing buyers. When you modify a variation, it's safest to specify all the fields with the values you want in the listing. At a minimum, StartPrice and VariationSpecifics are required to modify an existing variation. If you omit SKU, the existing SKU (if any) is deleted from the variation. If you omit Quantity, it is set to 0. |
|
Item.Variations.Variation .Quantity |
int | Optional |
For AddFixedPriceItem and related calls: On input, this should be the number of items available for sale that are associated with this variation. If you set Quantity to zero when you create a new listing (or relist), the variation is dropped from the listing. For GetItem and related calls: On output, this is the total number of items associated with the variation (including the quantity sold). To calculate the quantity available for sale, subtract QuantitySold from this value. For ReviseFixedPriceItem: You can revise a variation's quantity at any time, even if it has purchases. However, at least one variation must remain with a non-zero quantity in order for the listing to remain active. When you modify a variation during revise or relist, you need to include both its StartPrice and Quantity. If you revise the Quantity value for a variation after items have already sold, specify the quantity available for sale. (eBay will automatically add the quantity sold to the value you specify.) If you set the quantity to 0 and the variation has no purchases, the variation may be dropped from the listing. For GetSellerTransactions: See Item.Quantity instead. See the Trading API Guide for more details about setting and modifying a variation's quantity. |
| Item.Variations.Variation.SKU | SKUType (string) | Optional |
A SKU (stock keeping unit) is an identifier defined by a seller. Some sellers use SKUs to track complex flows of products and information on the client side. eBay preserves the SKU on the variation, enabling you to obtain it before and after a transaction is created. All SKU values must be unique within the Variations node. That is, no two variations within the same listing can have the same SKU (if specified). If Item.InventoryTrackingMethod is set to true, the SKU values must be specified and they must be unique across all the seller's active listings. Only returned if the seller specified a SKU for the variation. Max length: 70. |
|
Item.Variations.Variation .StartPrice |
AmountType (double) | Optional |
The fixed price of all items identified by this variation. For example, a "Blue, Large" variation price could be USD 10.00, and a "Black, Medium" variation price could be USD 5.00. Each variation requires its own price, and the prices can be different for each variation. This enables sellers to provide discounts on certain variations without affecting the price of others. Required (and always returned) for listings with variations. You can revise a variation's price at any time (even if it has purchases). When you modify a variation during revise or relist, you need to include both its StartPrice and Quantity. |
| Item.Variations.Variation .StartPrice [ attribute currencyID ] |
CurrencyCodeType | Optional |
Currency in which the monetary amount is specified. In the AddItem family of calls, the currency can be specified in the Item.Currency field instead. If you do specify this attribute in the AddItem family of calls, the value must match the site currency (i.e., it must be the same as the value in Item.Currency) unless otherwise stated. For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType. |
|
Item.Variations.Variation .VariationSpecifics |
NameValueListArrayType | Optional |
A list of name/value pairs that uniquely identify the variation within the listing. All variations must specify the same set of names, and each variation must provide a unique combination of values for those names. For example, if the items vary by color and size, then every variation must specify Color and Size as names, and no two variations can specify the same combination of color and size values. When you revise a listing that includes variations, you can't add or change names or values in variation specifics (because the set of variation specifics serves as a unique identifier). However, you can delete or replace individual variations as needed to match your current inventory. Use the Variation.Delete field to delete a variation that has no sales (transactions). If the variation has sales, then set the Quantity to 0. For GetSellerEvents To keep the GetSellerEvents response smaller, variation specifics are not returned if the variation has a SKU. If the variation has no SKU, then variation specifics are returned instead. Optionally, you can pass IncludeVariationSpecifics as true in the request to force variation specifics to be returned, even when the SKU is returned. See:
|
|
Item.Variations.Variation .VariationSpecifics .NameValueList |
NameValueListType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
For the AddItem family of calls: Contains the name and value(s) for an Item Specific. Only required when the ItemSpecifics container is specified. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: The same NameValueList schema is used for the ItemSpecifics node, the VariationSpecifics node, and the VariationSpecifcsSet node. If the listing has varations, any name that you use in the VariationSpecifics and VariationSpecificsSet nodes can't be used in the ItemSpecifics node. When you list with Item Variations: a) Specify shared Item Specifics (e.g., Brand) in the ItemSpecifics node. b) Specify up to five VariationSpecifics in each Variation node. c) Specify all applicable names with all their supported values in the VariationSpecificSet node. See the Variation sample in the AddFixedPriceItem call reference for examples. For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. |
|
Item.Variations.Variation .VariationSpecifics .NameValueList.Name |
string | Optional |
A name in a name/value pair. For the AddItem and AddFixedPriceItem families of calls: In the Item.ItemSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use. However, to help buyers find items more easily, it is a good idea to try to use a recommended name when possible (see GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations). You can't specify the same name twice within the same listing. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: In the VariationSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use, unless the VariationsEnabled flag is false for the name in the GetCategorySpecifics response. For example, for some categories eBay may recommend that you only use "Brand" as a shared name at the Item level, not in variations. For GetCategorySpecifics and GetItemRecommendations: This is a recommended (popular) name to use for items in the specified category (e.g., "Brand" might be recommended, not "Manufacturer"). For search calls: In the GetSearchResults response, this the name of an attribute (Attribute) that was used in the listing. Specifically: If SearchRequest was used to perform a "Product Finder" search, this contains the name of one attribute (i.e, the name of one ID-based Item Specifics field). If IncludeCondition was true in the request, this returns the condition attribute name (e.g., "Item Condition"). In the GetProducts response, this is an attribute name that is defined for a catalog product. For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. |

Item.Variations.Variation .VariationSpecifics .NameValueList.Value |
string | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
A value associated with the name. For the AddItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics or Variation Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values. In VariationSpecificSet, you typically specify multiple Value fields for each name. For example, if Name=Size, you would specify all size values that you wan to offer in the listing. For GetCategorySpecifics and GetItemRecommendations: The most highly recommended values are returned first. For these calls, Value is only returned when recommended values are available. For search calls: In the GetSearchResults response, if SearchRequest was used to perform a "Product Finder" search, this contains the value of one attribute. If IncludeCondition was true in the request, this returns the condition attribute value (e.g., "New"). For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. Max length: 50 (see GeteBayDetails). |
|
Item.Variations .VariationSpecificsSet |
NameValueListArrayType | Optional |
The set of all variation names and values that can be applicable to the listing (at any time in its life cycle). This must include (but is not limited to) all names and values specified in the VariationSpecifics nodes. This set configures variation selection widgets that appear on eBay's View Item page. For example, if you specify Color and Size names in the set, eBay's View Item page displays Color and Size drop-down lists to enable a buyer to choose a variation of interest. The order in which you specify the names and values also controls the order in which the selection widgets appear on the View Item page. For example, if you specify "Color", then "Size", and then "Sleeve Style" as names, the View Item page shows drop-down lists with those labels in that order. For "Size", if you specify "S", "M", and "L" as values, the View Item page shows the values in that order in the Size drop-down list. Use GetCategorySpecifics to retrieve recommendations for names, values, and order. Required when Variations are specified in a new listing (e.g., in AddFixedPriceItem). See Configuring Variation-Selection Widgets for Buyers (View Item). |
|
Item.Variations .VariationSpecificsSet .NameValueList |
NameValueListType | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
For the AddItem family of calls: Contains the name and value(s) for an Item Specific. Only required when the ItemSpecifics container is specified. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: The same NameValueList schema is used for the ItemSpecifics node, the VariationSpecifics node, and the VariationSpecifcsSet node. If the listing has varations, any name that you use in the VariationSpecifics and VariationSpecificsSet nodes can't be used in the ItemSpecifics node. When you list with Item Variations: a) Specify shared Item Specifics (e.g., Brand) in the ItemSpecifics node. b) Specify up to five VariationSpecifics in each Variation node. c) Specify all applicable names with all their supported values in the VariationSpecificSet node. See the Variation sample in the AddFixedPriceItem call reference for examples. For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. |
|
Item.Variations .VariationSpecificsSet .NameValueList.Name |
string | Optional |
A name in a name/value pair. For the AddItem and AddFixedPriceItem families of calls: In the Item.ItemSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use. However, to help buyers find items more easily, it is a good idea to try to use a recommended name when possible (see GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations). You can't specify the same name twice within the same listing. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: In the VariationSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use, unless the VariationsEnabled flag is false for the name in the GetCategorySpecifics response. For example, for some categories eBay may recommend that you only use "Brand" as a shared name at the Item level, not in variations. For GetCategorySpecifics and GetItemRecommendations: This is a recommended (popular) name to use for items in the specified category (e.g., "Brand" might be recommended, not "Manufacturer"). For search calls: In the GetSearchResults response, this the name of an attribute (Attribute) that was used in the listing. Specifically: If SearchRequest was used to perform a "Product Finder" search, this contains the name of one attribute (i.e, the name of one ID-based Item Specifics field). If IncludeCondition was true in the request, this returns the condition attribute name (e.g., "Item Condition"). In the GetProducts response, this is an attribute name that is defined for a catalog product. For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. |
|
Item.Variations .VariationSpecificsSet .NameValueList.Value |
string | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
A value associated with the name. For the AddItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values. For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics or Variation Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics or GetItemRecommendations indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values. In VariationSpecificSet, you typically specify multiple Value fields for each name. For example, if Name=Size, you would specify all size values that you wan to offer in the listing. For GetCategorySpecifics and GetItemRecommendations: The most highly recommended values are returned first. For these calls, Value is only returned when recommended values are available. For search calls: In the GetSearchResults response, if SearchRequest was used to perform a "Product Finder" search, this contains the value of one attribute. If IncludeCondition was true in the request, this returns the condition attribute value (e.g., "New"). For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations. Max length: 50 (see GeteBayDetails). |
| Item.VATDetails | VATDetailsType | Conditional |
Container for eBay's VAT features. A business seller can choose to offer an item exclusively to bidders and buyers that also represent businesses. Only applicable when the item is listed in a B2B-enabled category (on a site that supports B2B business features). Note: The India site (Global ID 203) does not accept VAT values in item listings. If you submit an item to the India site with a VAT value, eBay generates a warning message that indicates the listing was accepted, but the VAT value was removed. To include the VAT, relist the item with a Price value that includes the VAT. Sellers are solely responsible for compliance relating to tax legislation in India. Not applicable to Half.com. See:
|
| Item.VATDetails.BusinessSeller | boolean | Conditional | If true, this indicates that the seller is a business user and intends to use listing features that are offered to business users only. Applicable only to business sellers residing in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland who are listing in a B2B VAT- enabled category on the eBay Germany (DE), Austria (AT), or Switzerland (CH) sites. The seller must have a valid VAT ID registered with eBay. This must be set to true if RestrictedToBusiness is true. It has no effect (and it's not returned) if RestrictedToBusiness is false. If an item was not qualified as a business item when originally listed, but meets the conditions for business items when the item is revised or relisted, the seller can convert the item to a business item by specifying the appropriate VAT details. See the eBay Web Services guide for more information and additional rules. |
|
Item.VATDetails .RestrictedToBusiness |
boolean | Optional | If true, this indicates that the seller elects to offer the item exclusively to business users. If false (or not returned), this indicates that the seller elects to offer the item to all users. Applicable only to business sellers residing in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland who are listing in a B2B VAT-enabled category on the eBay Germany (DE), Austria (AT), or Switzerland (CH) sites. If this argument is true, the seller must have a valid VAT-ID registered with eBay, and BusinessSeller must also be true. |
| Item.VATDetails.VATPercent | float | Conditional |
VAT rate for the item, if any. When the VATPercent is specified, the item's VAT information appears on the item's listing page. In addition, the seller can choose to print an invoice that includes the item's net price, VAT percent, VAT amount, and total price. Since VAT rates vary depending on the item and on the user's country of residence, a seller is responsible for entering the correct VAT rate; it is not calculated by eBay. To specify a VATPercent, a seller must have a VAT-ID registered with eBay and must be listing the item on a VAT-enabled site. Max applicable length is 6 characters, including the decimal (e.g., 12.345). The scale is 3 decimal places. (If you pass in 12.3456, eBay may round up the value to 12.346.) Note: The View Item page may display the precision to 2 decimal places with no trailing zeros. However, the full value you send in is stored. Min: 0. Max: 30. |
| SaleTemplateID | long | Required | The ID of the sale template. You can obtain a SaleTemplateID by calling GetSellingManagerInventory or AddSellingManagerTemplate. |
| SaleTemplateName | string | Optional | The name of the sale template. |
| VerifyOnly | boolean | Optional | Use this field to verify the template instead of revising it. |

| 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 | |||
| Category2ID | string | Conditionally | ID of the secondary category in which the item was listed. Only returned if you set Item.CategoryMappingAllowed to true in the request and the ID passed in Item.SecondaryCategory was mapped to a new ID by eBay. If the secondary category has not changed or it has expired with no replacement, Category2ID does not return a value. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| CategoryID | string | Conditionally | ID of the primary category in which the item was listed. Only returned if you set Item.CategoryMappingAllowed to true in the request and the ID passed in Item.PrimaryCategory was mapped to a new ID by eBay. If the primary category has not changed or it has expired with no replacement, CategoryID does not return a value. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Fees | FeesType | Always | Child elements contain the estimated listing fees for the revised item listing. The fees do not include the Final Value Fee (FVF), which cannot be determined until an item is sold. Revising an item does not itself incur a fee. However, certain item properties are fee-based and result in the return of fees in the call's response. Not applicable to Half.com. |
| Fees.Fee | FeeType | Conditionally,

|
SellingManagerProductDetails .QuantityAvailable |
int | Always | Quantity of items in the seller's inventory for this product. |
