VerifyAddItemRequestType
Enables a seller to specify the definition of a new item 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 AddItem.

The call validates your input fields against the schema. However, some business-logic checks performed for an AddItem call are not executed. For more information, please see the following Knowledge Base article:

VerifyAddItem returns Success with no Errors, but AddItem returns Failure with Errors

There are cases in which VerifyAddItem behaves differently from AddItem and returns a different result.
Fields
ExternalProductID ( ExternalProductIDType ) [0..1]
Deprecated. This field will be removed from the schema in a future release. Recommended usage as of release 439 varies for eBay.com listings and Half.com listings.

For eBay.com listings: As of release 439, this field can still be passed in, but we recommend that you update your applications to use the ExternalProductID field defined on the item instead (i.e., Item.ExternalProductID). If you specify both Item.ExternalProductID and this field in the same request, eBay uses the value in Item.ExternalProductID and ignores the value in this field. See Item.ExternalProductID for information on using an external ID for eBay.com listings.

For Half.com listings: As of release 439, this field is required for Half.com listings. Causes Half.com to list the item with Pre-filled Item Information based on an ISBN value or other supported external ID, plus other meta-data that you specify. See the eBay Web Services guide for information about listing to Half.com.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use ExternalProductID.

IncludeExpressRequirements ( boolean ) [0..1]
Indicates if the response should include detailed data relating to whether an item would qualify as an Express listing. For information about the Express-related data that can be returned when IncludeExpressRequirements is set to true, see the response of VerifyAddItem and see the eBay Web Services Guide.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use IncludeExpressRequirements.

Item ( ItemType ) [0..1]
ItemType object, the properties of which define the new item listing.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use Item.
