Listings That Offer Global Shipping

GetSingleItem and GetMultipleItems now return the Item.GlobalShipping flag, which indicates whether eBay's Global Shipping Program is offered for a listing. If the value of GlobalShipping is true, the Global Shipping Program is the default international shipping option for the listing. If the value of GlobalShipping is false, the seller might have specified an alternative international shipping service for the listing, or no international shipping option at all.

Returning the Price Per Unit Parameters

The European Union requires listings for certain types of products to include the price per unit for comparison purposes. GetSingleItem and GetMultipleItems provide a new output container, UnitInfo, to return the designation (one of Kg 100g 10g L 100ml 10ml M M2 M3 Unit) in the UnitType field, and the quantity in the UnitQuantity field. eBay calculates and displays the price per unit for that unit type in the item listing (for example, "£2.47/Kg"). This information is currently provided only by EU business sellers, and only for listings with a Buy It Now option. For more information, see the Trading API Call Reference for UnitInfo.

Global Shipping Program Availability

As of this release, the Global Exchange program is called the Global Shipping Program. All references to "Global Exchange" in the Shopping API call reference and the User's Guide have been changed to "Global Shipping Program."

The Global Shipping Program is now available for testing with simulated responses in the Sandbox. The full functionality of the Global Shipping Program will be available in August 2012.

IMPORTANT: When issuing the Shoppping API GetShippingCosts call to return the Global Shipping Program ImportCharge field, you must set the schema version number in the call request to 787, regardless of the actual schema version you're currently using. This will be necessary until the full release of the Global Shipping Program.

For more information, see Making an API Call.
