A namespace is now returned in the BulkDataExchangeResponseType (top level) of the response for most Merchant Data calls. It is not returned for the FeeSettlementReport.

The eBay Large Merchant Services Solution now supports Merchant Data API files that contain URLs for externally-hosted pictures.
The Trading API's UploadSiteHostedPictures call uploads a picture to EPS (eBay Picture Services) when you supply a URL in the ExternalPictureURL field (the location of the picture on an external web server).
Multiple instances of the UploadSiteHostedPictures call (with different picture URLs) may be included within the same Merchant Data file. Uploading many picture URLs at once will allow the pictures to be available in the EPS before you upload the data for the corresponding listing using an AddFixedPriceItem data file.
Use the URL from the UploadSiteHostedPicturesResponse.SiteHostedPictureDetails.FullURL field as input for the AddFixedPriceItemRequest.Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL field to designate which (already uploaded) picture should be associated with each listing in your AddFixedPriceItem data file.
The UploadSiteHostedPictures response data file will return the last date that the picture can be associated with an item in the UseByDate field.
You can now see the inventory for all of your listings reflected in the report.

Two of the fields in the SoldReport output, OrderLineItemId and BuyerUserId, did not match the schema field names. These field names have been corrected, so they now appear in the output as 'OrderLineItemID' and 'BuyerUserID', but this means that you may have to update your automated scripts (if they parse and manipulate your SoldReport data).
