A unique identifier that identifies a single line item or multiple line item (Combined Payment) orders.
For a single line item order, the OrderID value is identical to the OrderLineItemID value that is generated upon creation of the order line item. For a Combined Payment order, the OrderID value is created by eBay when the buyer or seller (sharing multiple, common order line items) combines multiple order line items into a Combined Payment order. A Combined Payment order can also be created by the seller through the AddOrder call.
Unless the ItemID (or SKU) and corresponding TransactionID, or the OrderLineItemID is provided in the request to identify a single line item order, the OrderID must be specified. If OrderID is specified, OrderLineItemID, ItemID, TransactionID, and SKU are ignored if present in the same request.

Field Index to learn which calls use OrderID.
