VariationProductListingDetailsType
This type defines the VariationProductListingDetails container that is used to specify a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), such as an EAN, an ISBN, or a UPC value, to identify a specific product variation in a multiple-variation listing. For a multiple-variation listing, the same GTIN type(s) must be used for all product variations within the same listing.

Fields
This field is used if the seller wants to, or is required to identify each product variation within a multiple-variation listing by an EAN (European Article Number) value. An EAN is a unique 8 or 13-digit identifier that many industries (such as book publishers) use to identify products. The seller can use the GetCategoryFeatures call to see if an EAN is supported/required for a category.
Note: If the listing is being posted to a category that expects an EAN value, but one doesn't exist for the product, the seller must provide a string indicating that the product identifier is unavailable. This text varies by marketplace. Refer to Product Identifier Text for the specific text based on the listing marketplace.

Currently, sellers cannot associate an eBay catalog product with single variations within a multiple-variation listing for any eBay category. If the seller attempts to supply an eBay Product Identifier (ePID) at the variation level, a warning will get returned in the response stating that, 'Specifying a product identifier on a variant is not allowed in this category.'.
The ProductReferenceID field was originally added as part of the Product-Based Shopping Experience (PBSE) mandate, and eBay was going to allow and even require ePIDs to be specified for some leaf categories. However, with the rollback of the PBSE mandate, this field is not currently applicable or supported.
