eBay France's VAT ID to be Returned in Order Management Calls
When VAT is applicable to an order, a buyer's VAT Identifier Number (VATIN) will be returned at the order level, and eBay's VAT tax ID will be returned at the line item level for all order management calls. With Version 1225, France VAT IDs will start being returned.
A new value, VAT_ID, will be returned as the name attribute in the Transaction.eBayCollectAndRemitTaxes.eBayReference field, and this value will indicate that the VAT ID is for eBay France. The Order.BuyerTaxIdentifier.ID field will show the VATIN for the buyer.
|
Note: The eBay and buyer VAT IDs for France are scheduled to start getting returned on September 30, 2021. Going forward after September 30, developers will need to use a Trading WSDL with a version number of 1225 (or newer) for the VAT ID/VATIN values to be returned in the new fields. Otherwise, the VAT information will be returned in the Order.ShippingAddress.Street2 field. Developers will also have the option of using an older version than 1225, but setting the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL header value to 1225 or higher. On January 31, 2022, the Order.ShippingAddress.Street2 will stop being used to return VAT information regardless of WSDL version or compatibility level. |
Two Enums Added to TaxTypeCodeType for EU VAT Tax
Two new enumeration values were added to TaxTypeCodeType. The values in this type are returned in the TaxDetails.Imposition field in order management calls. Below are the two new values:
- ImportVAT: this value indicates that French VAT tax was charged to the buyer against the order line item.
- VAT: this value indicates that VAT tax was charged to the buyer against the order line item on the UK marketplace, the Norway marketplace, or other EU marketplace (except for France).
Authenticity Guarantee Service Costs Returned in Order Management Calls
A new ServiceCost container will get returned for items going through the Authenticity Guarantee process. The cost shown in this container is the service cost charged to the buyer for an item that will go through the Authenticity Guarantee process.
Authenticity Guarantee service is only applicable to luxury watches, handbags, and sneakers categories.

Changes to Refurbished Item Conditions in Category 9355
Condition ID 2500 ('Seller Refurbished') can no longer be used in the Cell Phones & Smartphones category (category ID 9355) for the following marketplaces: US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia. In lieu of the 'Seller Refurbished' item condition in category 9355, sellers will have to get pre-qualified for and start using one of the following refurbished item conditions: condition ID 2010 ('Excellent - Refurbished'), condition ID 2020 ('Very Good - Refurbished'), and condition ID 2030 ('Good - Refurbished'). Any seller who is not eligible to use these new refurbished item conditions in category 9355 will be blocked if they try to create a new listing or revise an existing listing with any of these three new item conditions. Any active listings in category 9355 that had condition ID 2500 ('Seller Refurbished') as the item condition should have been administratively ended by eBay. Sellers will have to relist these items, and unless they are eligible to list with the new refurbished item conditions, they will need to use another item condition supported in category 9355, such as condition ID 3000 ('Used').
GetCategoryFeatures Updated to Return New Refurbished Item Conditions
GetCategoryFeatures was updated to start returning the three new refurbished item condition values, which are condition ID 2010 ('Excellent - Refurbished'), condition ID 2020 ('Very Good - Refurbished'), and condition ID 2030 ('Good - Refurbished'). Similar to condition ID 2000 ('Certified - Refurbished'), the new refurbished item condition values are returned in the SpecialFeatures container (instead of the ConditionValues container) to indicate that sellers must be pre-qualified to use these item conditions.
Currently, these refurbished item conditions are only applicable for the Cell Phones & Smartphones category (category ID 9355) and for the following marketplaces: US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia.

Documentation Changes and Errata - 1217

A Clarification Provided on Shipment Tracking Number
A note was added to the ShipmentTrackingDetails.ShipmentTrackingNumber field description informing users that the Trading API only supports alphanumeric characters in shipment tracking numbers.
A Clarification on Managed Payments Sellers Providing Offline Payment Methods
Updated the notes in numerous payment method-related fields to make it clear that offline payment methods will need to be provided by managed payments sellers for listings that require or support offline payment methods. An example of this would be a motor vehicle listing. Generally, the full payment of a motor vehicle happens offline between the buyer and seller, so the seller has to provide the available offline payment methods such as Money Order, Cashier's Check, Loan Check, etc.
Removed Notes on Integrated Merchant Credit Card Account Fields
Sellers have not been allowed to use Integrated Merchant Credit Card (aka iMCC) payment gateway accounts to handle buyer payments since May 2019. Many iMCC fields had notes explaining that these payment gateway accounts were no longer supported, but these notes have been removed and these fields have been marked as no longer applicable.
Update to some Charity-Related Fields
Some Charity-related field descriptions said that PayPal had to be used to purchase items in charitable listings, but this is not correct. Any form of electronic payment available to the buyer can be used to purchase these items, and the charitable donation will still go through.

New Schema Added to Support the Return of VAT Identifier Numbers in Order Management Calls
When VAT is applicable to an order, a buyer's VAT Identifier Number (VATIN) will be returned at the order level, and eBay's VAT tax ID will be returned at the line item level for all order management calls. This VAT information will be returned in the following locations:
- Transaction.eBayCollectAndRemitTaxes.eBayReference: this field will show the VAT ID for eBay, and this value may vary based on the region or country. The eBayReference field's name attribute will show the type of VAT ID, such as
IOSS,OSS, orABN. The eBayTaxReferenceValue type was added to support this new field and associated attribute. - Order.BuyerTaxIdentifier.ID: this field will show the VATIN for the buyer, and the corresponding Order.BuyerTaxIdentifier.Type field should return the new
VATINvalue, which was added to the existing ValueTypeCodeType.
|
Note: The eBay VAT ID and buyer VATIN fields will not start getting returned until June 30, 2021. Going forward after June 30, developers will need to use a Trading WSDL with a version number of 1211 (or newer) for the VAT ID/VATIN values to be returned in the new fields. Otherwise, the VAT information will be returned in the Order.ShippingAddress.Street2 field. Developers will also have the option of using an older version than 1211, but setting the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL header value to 1211 or higher. On January 31, 2022, the Order.ShippingAddress.Street2 will stop being used to return VAT information regardless of WSDL version or compatibility level. |

Behavior Changes for the VATPercent Value
The float value input for the VATDetails.VATPercent field in an Add/Revise/Relist call can only have one digit beyond the decimal point (e.g. 12.3). Previously, three digits after the decimal point were allowed.

Videos Now Supported in Listings
eBay has added the capability to add videos to listings. At this time, only one video can be added per listing, and the video must be uploaded to eBay via the Media API.
The VideoDetails container has been added to all Add/Revise/Relist/Verify calls, and passing in the ID for the video will add the video to the listing. eBay will perform a validation check on each specified VideoID value to verify that the video belongs to, and was uploaded by the seller.
The GetItem call will return the VideoDetails container if the listing contains a video, and the seller of the item is the one making the call.
At present, videos can be attached to listings on the eBay US marketplace and can be viewed through the native apps (iOS and Android) only. Additional sites and platforms will be supported in the near future.
