eBay Trading API
Call Reference Version 643

Enables a seller to specify the definition of a new fixed-price listing and submit the definition to eBay without creating a listing. This enables the seller to test the item definition and get listing fees before actually listing the item. The listing fees may be different from the listing fees returned by AddFixedPriceItem.

The call validates your input fields against the schema. However, some business-logic checks performed for an AddFixedPriceItem call are not executed. For more information, please see the following Knowledge Base article about VerifyAddItem (the logic is the same for VerifyAddFixedPriceItem):

VerifyAddFixedPriceItem returns Success with no Errors, but AddFixedPriceItem returns Failure with Errors

There may be cases in which VerifyAddFixedPriceItem behaves differently from AddFixedPriceItem and returns a different result.

Note: When you use the VerifyAddFixedPriceItem call within a Merchant Data file, it must be enclosed within BulkDataExchangeRequest tags. After release 637, a namespace is returned in the BulkDataExchangeResponseType, at the top level of the response. The BulkDataExchange tags are not shown in the call input/output descriptions.
