This field is deprecated and has been replaced by the ShippingDetails.PaymentEdited field.

Not used by any call.

This field is deprecated.

If a calculated shipping discount was offered for the domestic shipping services, this contains the details of the calculated shipping discount. Otherwise, it is not returned. Only returned if the calling user is the seller.

Details pertinent to one or more items for which calculated shipping has been offered by the seller, such as package dimension and weight and packaging/handling costs. If your call specifies a large-dimension item listed with UPS, see Dimensional Weight limit on UPS shipping services results in failure of shipping calculator.

Note: The CalculatedShippingRate container should only be used to specify values for the InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts, OriginatingPostalCode, and/or PackagingHandlingCosts fields. The rest of the fields in the CalculatedShippingRate container are used to specify package dimensions and package weight, and these values should now be specified in the ShippingPackageDetails container instead.

Whether the seller specified payment and shipping instructions during checkout (for example, to update the details of an order). Valid for flat and calculated shipping.

This dollar value indicates the money due from the buyer upon delivery of the item.

This field should only be specified in the request if 'COD' (cash-on-delivery) is a valid payment method for the site and it is included as a PaymentMethods value in the same request.

This field is only returned if set for the listing.

To see if 'COD' is a supported payment method for a site, call GetCategoryFeatures, specifying the listing category ID, and including the FeatureID field set to PaymentMethods. Look for a value of 'CashOnPickup' in one of the Category.PaymentMethod fields in the response.

The field is deprecated.

Use this field to specify an international country or region, or a special domestic location, such as 'PO Box' (in US) or 'Packstation' (in DE), to where you will not ship the associated item. Repeat this element in the call request for each location that you want to exclude as a shipping destination for your item.

Set ShipToRegistrationCountry to true to have your ExcludeShipToLocation settings applied to your listing. The locations you have excluded display in the Shipping and Handling section of your item listing.

If a buyer's primary ship-to location is a location that you have listed as an excluded ship-to location (or if the buyer does not have a primary ship-to location), they will receive an error message if they attempt to buy or place a bid on your item.

The exclude ship-to location values are eBay regions and countries. To see the valid exclude ship-to locations for a specified site, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ExcludeShippingLocationDetails, and then look for the ExcludeShippingLocationDetails.Location fields in the response. Repeat GeteBayDetails for each site on which you list.

This field works in conjunction with Item.ShipToLocations to create a set of international countries and regions to where you will, and will not, ship. You can list a region in the ShipToLocations field, then exclude specific countries within that region with this field (for example, you can specify Africa in ShipToLocations, yet exclude Chad with a ExcludeShipToLocation setting). In addition, if your ShipToLocations is Worldwide, you can use this field to specify both regions and countries that you want to exclude from your shipping destinations.

You can specify a default set of locations to where you will not ship in My eBay. If you create an Exclude Ship-To List, it is, by default, in effect when you list items. However, if you specify any value in this field on input, it nullifies the default settings in your Exclude Ship-To List. (If you use ExcludeShipToLocation when you list an item, you will need to list all the locations to where you will not ship the associated item, regardless of the default settings in your Exclude Ship-To List.)

Specify none in this field to override the default Exclude Ship-To List you might have set up in My eBay and indicate that you do not want to exclude any shipping locations from the respective item listing.

Note: To enable your default Exclude Ship-To List, you must enable Exclude Shipping Locations and Buyer Requirements in your My eBay Site Preferences. For details, see the KnowledgeBase Article HowTo: ExcludeShipToLocation.

If a flat rate shipping discount was offered for the domestic shipping services, this contains the details of the flat rate shipping discount. Otherwise, it is not returned. Only returned if the calling user is the seller.

Not used by any call.

This field is deprecated.

Indicates whether eBay's Global Shipping Program is offered for the listing. If the value of GlobalShipping is True, international shipping through the Global Shipping Program is available for the listing, and eBay automatically sets one of the available shipping service options to International Priority Shipping. If the value of GlobalShipping is false, the seller is responsible for specifying one or more international shipping service options if the seller is willing to ship internationally.

When calling RelistFixedPriceItem, RelistItem, ReviseFixedPriceItem or ReviseItem, you can omit this field if its value doesn't need to change.

Before using this field for a listing, ensure that the seller and the item being listed are eligible for the Global Shipping Program.

Whether or not the buyer selected to pay for insurance as an option offered by the seller. This only has a value after the buyer has gone through checkout and selected the insurance preference.

Valid only on the following sites: FR and IT

This value is returned only if the seller is making the call. If a calculated shipping discount was offered for the international shipping services, this contains the details of the calculated shipping discount. Otherwise, it is not returned.

This value is returned only if the seller is making the call. If a flat rate shipping discount was offered for the international shipping services, this contains the details of the flat rate shipping discount. Otherwise, it is not returned.

On input, this specifies whether to offer the promotional shipping discount for the listing's international shipping services (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 value indicates whether the promotional shipping discount is being offered for the international 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.

On input, this is the ID of the shipping discount to offer for the international shipping services (where the shipping discount is either of type FlatShippingDiscount or CalculatedShippingDiscount).

In the RelistItem and ReviseItem family of calls, you can remove the existing InternationalShippingDiscountProfileID associated with the item by supplying a value of 0 (zero).

Returned on output only if the seller is making the call. The value is the ID of the shipping discount offered and corresponds to whichever is returned: FlatShippingDiscount or CalculatedShippingDiscount.

If the user created a shipping discount profile, use InternationalShippingDiscountProfileID.

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.

All specified domestic and international shipping services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated).

A seller can offer up to four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services. However, if the seller is opted in to the Global Shipping Program, only four other international shipping services may be offered (regardless of whether or not Global Shipping is offered for the listing).

If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit InternationalShippingServiceOption, eBay will drop the international shipping services (except the Global Shipping Program) 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.

For GetItemShipping, results are filtered: if any service is not available in the buyer's region, it is removed. If no services remain after this filtering, a warning is returned.

Whether the seller allows the buyer to edit the payment amount for the order. (Sellers enable this property in their My eBay user preferences on the eBay site.)

Payment instructions (or message) from the seller to the buyer. These instructions appear on eBay's View Item page and on eBay's checkout page when the buyer pays for the item.

Sellers usually use this field to specify payment instructions, how soon the item will shipped, feedback instructions, and other reminders that the buyer should be aware of when they bid on or buy an item.

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).

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.

This value is returned only if the seller is making the call. Contains details of the promotional shipping discount, if such is being offered while the listing is active or if it was offered at the time the listing ended.

This container is used to reference and apply a seller's specific domestic and/or international shipping rate tables to a listing. Shipping rate tables allow sellers to configure specific shipping costs based on the shipping destinations and level of service (e.g. economy, standard, expedite, and one-day). Generally speaking, sellers want to use these shipping rate tables so they can charge a higher shipping cost to the buyer whenever shipping costs are higher for them as well. For example, shipping to Alaska or Hawaii is generally more expensive than shipping to any other of the 48 US states, or in regards to international shipping, shipping to some regions and countries are more expensive than others.

Sellers configure domestic and international shipping rate tables in My eBay Shipping Preferences. To apply shipping rate tables, the shipping cost type must be flat-rate.

For domestic shipping rate tables, the three supported domestic regions are Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates (e.g. Puerto Rico and Guam), and APO/FPO destinations, which are US military bases/locations outside of the continental US. In addition to setting one flat rate based on the destination and service level, the seller also has the option of adding an extra charge based on the weight of the shipping package, or they can add a surcharge instead. To determine if a domestic shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account, the GetUser call can be used, and then the seller will look for a value of true in the User.SellerInfo.DomesticRateTable field. Although the GetUser call can be used to see if a domestic shipping rate table exists for the seller's account, details of the shipping rate table, including all specified costs for the different regions, can only be viewed and modified in My eBay Shipping Preferences. This functionality is not yet available in any public APIs.

For international shipping rate tables, specific rates may be set up for any and all of the nine geographical regions and individual countries within those regions. Similar to domestic shipping rate tables, the seller has the option of adding an extra charge based on the weight of the shipping package. Sellers cannot add a surcharge for international shipping. To determine if a international shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account, the GetUser call can be used, and then the seller will look for a value of true in the User.SellerInfo.InternationalRateTable field. Although the GetUser call can be used to see if an international shipping rate table exists for the seller's account, details of the shipping rate table, including all specified costs for the different regions/countries, can only be viewed and modified in My eBay Shipping Preferences. This functionality is not yet available in any public APIs.

If you are applying a domestic or international shipping rate table that specifies a surcharge by weight, you must specify the item weight in the ShippingPackageDetails container's WeightMajor and WeightMinor fields, even though the listing is using flat-rate shipping. Do not use any other fields in the ShippingPackageDetails container because none of those fields are applicable in this use case.

This container is only returned in the 'Get' calls if one or more shipping rate tables have been applied to the listing, and if the call is being made by the seller who listed the item.

Note: The capability to create and use multiple domestic and international shipping rate tables (up to 20 per seller account) has rolled out to the US and Australia sites. This capability will also roll out to the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. Currently, for sites other than the US and Australia, only one domestic and one international shipping rate table may be set up per seller. Whether a seller is using the old default domestic and international shipping rate tables or the new shipping rate tables, these shipping rate tables are set up in My eBay Shipping Preferences or as part of a Shipping Business Policy. If using the Trading API to create a listing that will use the new shipping rate tables, the DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId fields (added for Version 1019) are used to reference and apply these new shipping rate tables to the listing. If desired, sellers can still use the old default shipping rate tables, but they are not allowed to mix and match old and new shipping rate tables, meaning that they will get an error if they pass in both the old fields (DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable) and the new fields ( DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId). The new shipping rate tables have all of the functionality of the old shipping rate tables, plus the seller has access to all domestic regions and not just the special regions (such as Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO locations in US).

Sales tax details. US and US Motors (site 0) sites only, excluding vehicle listings. Flat and calculated shipping.

Sellers can set up a global Exclude Ship-To List through their My eBay account. The Exclude Ship-To List defines the countries to where the seller does not ship, by default.

This flag returns true if the Exclude Ship-To List is enabled by the seller for the associated item. If false, the seller's Exclude Ship-To List is either not set up, or it has been overridden by the seller when they listed the item with ExcludeShipToLocation fields.

In the response, ExcludeShipToLocation fields detail the locations to where the seller will not ship the item, regardless of the value returned in this field.

The sale record ID. Applicable to Selling Manager users. When an item is sold, Selling Manager generates a sale record. A sale record contains buyer information, shipping, and other information. A sale record is displayed in the Sold view in Selling Manager. Each sale record has a sale record ID.

In the following calls, the value for the sale record ID is in the SellingManagerSalesRecordNumber field: GetItemTransactions, GetSellerTransactions, GetOrders, GetOrderTransactions. In the Selling Manager calls, the value for the sale record ID is in the SaleRecordID field.

For GetOrders, GetOrderTransactions, and GetItemTransactions only: If using Trading WSDL Version 1019 or above, this field will only be returned to the buyer or seller, and no longer returned at all to third parties. If using a Trading WSDL older than Version 1019, the real record number is only returned to the buyer or seller, and a dummy value of 0 will be returned to all third parties.

The sale record ID can be for a single or a multiple line item order.

Container for the shipping carrier and tracking information associated with the shipment of an order.

As each package has a unique tracking number, this container should be repeated for each package in the order.

Note: Top-rated sellers must have a record of uploading shipment tracking information (through site or through API) for at least 90 percent of their order line items (purchased by U.S. buyers) to keep their status as Top-rated sellers. For more information on eBay's Top-rated seller program, see the Becoming a Top Rated Seller and qualifying for Top Rated Plus page.

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.

In the RelistItem and ReviseItem family of calls, you can remove the existing ShippingDiscountProfileID associated with the item by supplying a value of 0 (zero).

Only returned if the calling user is the seller.

For most applicable calls, returns the words No Error or returns an error message related to an attempt to calculate shipping rates. For calculated shipping only.

The message text explains that a postal code is needed to calculate shipping. Only returned when ItemDetails is set to Fine.

A shipping rate scale for shipping through USPS that affects the shipping cost calculated for USPS (lower if ShippingRateType is DailyPickup). ShippingRateType is returned only if the value of ShippingService is one of the USPS shipping services. For calculated shipping only.

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:

<ShippingServiceOptions>...</ShippingServiceOptions>
<ShippingServiceOptions>...</ShippingServiceOptions>
<ShippingServiceOptions>...</ShippingServiceOptions>
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>...</InternationalShippingServiceOption>
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>...</InternationalShippingServiceOption>

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 four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services. However, if the seller is opted in to the Global Shipping Program, only four other international shipping services may be offered (regardless of whether or not Global Shipping is offered for the listing). All specified domestic and international shipping services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated).

For GetItemShipping, results are filtered: if any service is not available in the buyer's region, it is removed. If no services remain after this filtering, a warning is returned.

The shipping service actually used by the seller to ship the item(s) to the buyer.

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.

GetItemShipping and GetItemTransactions: If the type was a mix of flat and calculated services, this is set simply to Flat or Calculated because it is the buyer's selection that results in one of these.

GetMyeBayBuying: If the seller has set the ShipToLocation to Worldwide for an item, but has not specified any international shipping service options, NotSpecified is returned as the ShippingType value.

Tax details for a jurisdiction, such as a state or province. If no tax table is associated with the item, a tax table is not returned.

For GetItem, a tax table is returned if it exists when:

• DetailLevel is set to ReturnAll or ItemReturnDescription (in this case, the value of IncludeTaxTable does not matter)
• IncludeTaxTable is set to true and DetailLevel is not set or it is set to ItemReturnAttributes
