Argument Type Occurrence Meaning
Call-specific Input Fields [Jump to standard fields]
aspectFilter AspectFilter Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Aspect filters refine (limit) the number of items returned by a find request. Obtain input values for the aspectFilter fields from an aspectHistogramContainer returned in the response of a previous query.

By issuing a series of find queries, you can continually refine the items returned in your responses. Do this by repeating a query using the aspect values returned in one response as the input values to your next query.

For example, the aspectHistogramContainer in a response on Men's Shoes could contain an aspect of Size, along with "aspect values" for the different sizes currently available in Men's Shoes. By populating aspectFilter fields with the values returned in an aspectHistogramContainer, you can refine the item results returned by your new query.

See:
    aspectHistogramContainer for more information on aspects, aspect values, and domains.
    findItemsByCategory Call Sample: Returning Aspect Histogram Information
    findItemsByCategory Call Sample: Refining Results Using Aspect Filters

aspectFilter.aspectName string Optional Name of a standard item characteristic associated with a given domain. For example, "Optical Zoom" or "Megapixels" are aspects for the Digital Cameras domain. The current aspect names associated with a specific domain can be found in the aspect histogram. Aspect histograms can be retrieved for a given keyword query or category. The aspect histogram contains information about aspects from the domain that is most relevant to your search (or category).
aspectFilter.aspectValueName string Optional,
repeatable: [1..*]
A value name for a given aspect. For example, "Point & Shoot" is a value name for the "Product Type" aspect in the "Digital Cameras" domain.
categoryId string Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Specifies the leaf category from which you want to retrieve item listings with similar images. If no category is specified, search results can come from any Clothing, Shoes & Accessories leaf category. This field can be repeated (up to 3 times) to include multiple categories.

Image similarity searches are only supported in Clothing, Shoes & Accessories leaf categories on the eBay US, UK, and Germany sites.

If a specified category ID doesn't match an existing category for the site, eBay returns an invalid-category error message. To determine valid leaf categories, use the Trading API GetCategories call.
Max length: 10.
domainFilter DomainFilter Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Restricts results to items listed within the specified domain. Domains are a buy-side grouping of items. such as shoes or digital cameras. A domain can span multiple eBay categories.
domainFilter.domainName string Optional,
repeatable: [1..*]
Specify the name of the domain to which you want to restrict search results. Only items listed within the specified domain will be returned in the search results. Domain names can be retrieved from an aspect histogram.
itemFilter ItemFilter Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Reduce the number of items returned by a find request using item filters. Use itemFilter to specify name/value pairs. You can include multiple item filters in a single request.
itemFilter.name ItemFilterType Optional Specify the name of the item filter you want to use. The filter type specified in the itemFilter.name field must have a corresponding value. You can apply multiple itemFilter name/value pairs in a single request. See ItemFilterType for more information on the available filters and the values supported/associated with each filter type.

Applicable values: See name.

See:
    ItemFilterType for more information about the allowed values, usage rules, and dependencies

    findItemsAdvanced Call Sample: Using itemFilters to search for used Buy It Now items

itemFilter.paramName token Optional In addition to filter Name/Value pairs, some itemFilters use an additional parameter Name/Value pair. Specifically, filters that use currency values (MaxPrice and MinPrice) make use of addition parameters. When you use these itemFilters, set paramName to Currency and provide the currency ID in paramValue.

For example, if you use the MaxPrice itemFilter, you will need to specify a parameter Name of Currency with a parameter Value that specifies the type of currency desired.

Note that for MaxPrice and MinPrice itemFilters, the default value for paramName is Currency.
itemFilter.paramValue string Optional The currency value associated with the respective itemFilter parameter Name.

Usually paramName is set to Currency and paramValue is set to the currency type in which the monetary transaction occurs.

Note: For MaxPrice and MinPrice itemFilters, the default value for paramValue is USD.

See currencyId Values for a list of possible currency enumeration values.

itemFilter.value string Optional,
repeatable: [1..*]
The value associated with the respective item filter name. Allowed values and datatypes vary for a given filter name.

See ItemFilterType for information about the allowed values, usage rules, and dependencies.

itemId string Required Specifies the item that the customer wants to use for retrieving more listings with similar images. The item must active and it must be listed in a Clothing, Shoes & Accessories category (parent category ID 11450 on the eBay US site).
Max length: 19 (normally, item IDs are 9 to 12 digits in length) .
outputSelector OutputSelectorType Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]
Defines what data to return, in addition to the default set of data, in a response.

If you don't specify this field, eBay returns a default set of item fields. Use the outputSelector to include more information in the response. The additional data is grouped into discrete nodes. You can specify multiple nodes by including this field multiple times, as needed, in the request.

If you specify this field, the additional fields returned can affect the call's response time (performance), including in the case with feedback data.

Applicable values: See outputSelector.

See Detail Controls.

Standard Input Fields  
affiliate Affiliate Optional Container for affiliate details. eBay uses the specified affiliate information to build a View Item URL and Product URL string with correctly formatted affiliate tracking information, which it returns in the response. You can publish these URLs, and if a user clicks them to access eBay, the respective affiliate might get a commission, depending on the user's actions.

See:
    eBay Partner Network site for information about affiliate commissions
    findItemsByKeywords Call Sample: Specifying affiliate information

affiliate.customId string Optional You can define an affiliate customId if you want an ID to monitor your marketing efforts. Chose an ID up to up to 256 characters in length. If you are using the eBay Partner Network, and you provide a customID, the tracking URL returned by the eBay Partner Network will contain your customID value.
affiliate.geoTargeting boolean Optional The lgeo parameter will be used for geo-targeting feature that is already implemented on the affiliate tracking side
affiliate.networkId string Optional Specifies your tracking partner for affiliate commissions. Affiliates earn money from eBay for driving traffic to eBay. This field is required if you specify a tracking ID. Depending on your tracking partner, specify one of the following values. Not all partners are valid for all sites. For PlaceOffer, only the eBay Partner Network and Mediaplex are valid:

2 = Be Free
3 = Affilinet
4 = TradeDoubler
5 = Mediaplex
6 = DoubleClick
7 = Allyes
8 = BJMT
9 = eBay Partner Network

See eBay Partner Network site for information about commissions.

affiliate.trackingId string Optional Specify the affiliate value obtained from your tracking partner. For the eBay Partner Network, the tracking ID is the provided Campaign ID ("campid"). A Campaign ID is a unique 10-digit number used for associating traffic and is valid across all programs to which you have been accepted. Another example of this value is the Affiliate ID given to you by TradeDoubler.
buyerPostalCode string Conditional The postal code of the buyer. This is used as the basis for proximity searches as well as local searches.

A proximity search requires buyerPostalCode and a MaxDistance item filter. A local search requires buyerPostalCode and item filters for MaxDistance and LocalSearch.

This is also required for any country that supports local shipping regions in order for the correct shipping cost to be determined.

See findItemsByKeywords Call Sample: Proximity Search for an example of how to restrict searches by distance.

paginationInput PaginationInput Optional Controls the pagination of the result set. Child elements specify the maximum number of item listings to return per call and the page of data to return. Controls the number of listings returned in the response, but does not specify the details to return for each listing.

Note: No more than 10,000 items can be retrieved for a given search, regardless of how many matches are found. This limit is enforced by the maximum page number allowed (100) and the maximum entries per page allowed (100).
paginationInput.entriesPerPage int Optional Specifies the maximum number of entries to return in a single call. If the number of entries found on the specified pageNumber is less than the value specified here, the number of items returned will be less than the value of entriesPerPage. This indicates the end of the result set.

If entriesPerPage is set to a number greater than 100, the default value, 100, will be used.
Min: 1. Max: 100. Default: 100.
paginationInput.pageNumber int Optional Specifies which subset of data (or "page") to return in the call response. The number of data pages is determined by the total number of items matching the request search criteria (returned in paginationOutput.totalEntries) divided by the number of entries to display in each response (entriesPerPage). You can return up to the first 100 pages of the result set by issuing multiple requests and specifying, in sequence, the pages to return.
Min: 1. Max: 100. Default: 1.

aspectHistogramContainer AspectHistogramContainer Conditionally Response container for aspect histograms.

outputSelector: AspectHistogram
aspectHistogramContainer
  .aspect
Aspect Conditionally,
repeatable: [1..*]
A characteristic of an item in a domain. For example, "Optical Zoom", "Brand", and "Megapixels" could be aspects of the Digital Cameras domain. Aspects are well-known, standardized characteristics of a domain, and they vary from domain to domain (the aspects of "Men's Shoes" are different from those of "Digital Cameras"). A search request on the eBay site will often display aspects and their respective aspect values on the left-had side of a query response.

Aspects are extracted from item listing properties (such as item titles and subtitles), and represent the characteristics of active items. Values returned in the Aspect container can be used as inputs to the aspectFilter fields in a query to distill the items returned by the query. eBay generates aspects dynamically from the items currently listed; aspects provide a view into what is currently available on eBay. Because of this, aspect values returned one day cannot be guaranteed to be valid the next day.

The following graphic shows how eBay might return a set of aspects for the Digital Cameras domain. In this graphic, "Product Type", "Brand", and "Megapixels" are aspects, and "Point & Shoot", "Canon", and "12.0 to 12.9 MP" are aspect values. Histogram values (item counts) are shown for each aspect value.

token Conditionally A buy-side group of items, for example "Shoes." Domains are extracted from item listing properties, such as the title, descriptions, and so on.

outputSelector: AspectHistogram
aspectHistogramContainer
  .domainName
string Conditionally A buy-side group of items that share aspects, but not necessarily an eBay category. For example "Women's Dresses" or "Digital Cameras" could be domains. You can use a domainName to label a set of aspects that you display.

Domains are extracted from item listing properties (such as item titles and subtitles).

outputSelector: AspectHistogram
categoryHistogramContainer CategoryHistogramContainer Conditionally Response container for category histograms. Only returned when one or more category histograms are returned. A category histogram is not returned if there are no matching items or if the search is restricted to a single leaf category.

Note: The category IDs returned for items in search results are for the leaf categories in which the items are listed. If you use these category IDs as input, the response will not return a category histogram.

Note: When searching the eBay Motors site, category histograms may not be available for some parent categories. In these cases, aspect histograms should be used to refine search results. This behavior is consistent with eBay Motors site search behavior.

outputSelector: CategoryHistogram
categoryHistogramContainer
  .categoryHistogram
CategoryHistogram (Category) Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
Statistical (item count) information on the categories that contain items that match the search criteria or specified category or categories. A category histogram contains information for up to 10 child categories. Search result total entries may not necessarily match the sum of category histogram item counts.

For search calls, the item count shows the distribution of matching items across each of the returned categories. A category histogram is not returned if there are no matching items or if the search is restricted to a single leaf category.

For getHistograms, the category histogram contains the total item count for the specified category and item counts for the child categories containing the most item listings. A category histogram is not returned if the specified category is a leaf category.

For categories associated with specific items, review the individual item containers returned in the search result.

Standard Output Fields  
ack AckValue Always Indicates whether or not errors or warnings were generated during the processing of the request.

Applicable values:

Failure
eBay encountered a fatal error during the processing of the request, causing the request to fail. When a serious application-level error occurs, the error is returned instead of the business data.
PartialFailure
eBay successfully processed the request, but one or more non-fatal errors occurred during the processing. For best results, requests should return without warning messages. Inspect the message details and resolve any problems before resubmitting the request.
Success
eBay successfully processed the request and the business data is returned in the response. Note that it is possible for a response to return Success, but still not contain the expected data in the result.
Warning
The request was successfully processed, but eBay encountered a non-fatal error during the processing. For best results, requests should return without warnings. Inspect the warning details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage ErrorMessage Conditionally Description of an error or warning that occurred when eBay processed the request. Not returned if the ack value is Success.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error ErrorData Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
Details about a single error.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.category ErrorCategory Conditionally There are three categories of errors: request errors, application errors, and system errors.

Applicable values:

Application
An error occurred due to a problem with the request, with the most likely source being the application sending the request. For example, the request is missing a required data element or it contains an invalid field. The problem must be corrected before the request can be resent. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is due to an application error, modify the application and resend the request. If the error is due to invalid data, the source of the data must be corrected before you resend the resend request to eBay.
Request
An error occurred due to a problem with the request, with the most likely source being missing or invalid data in the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be retried. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is a result of end-user data, alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the problem. Once the problem is resolved, resend the request to eBay.
System
Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side. For example, a database or server could be down. Inspect the error message to find the cause of the problem. If the problem is on the eBay side, an application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.domain string Conditionally Name of the domain in which the error occurred.
domain values:
Marketplace
A business or validation error occurred in the service.
SOA
An exception occurred in the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework.


outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.errorId long Conditionally A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.exceptionId token Conditionally Unique identifier for an exception associated with an error.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.message string Conditionally A detailed description of the condition that caused in the error.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.parameter ErrorParameter (string) Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
Various warning and error messages return one or more variables that contain contextual information about the error. This is often the field or value that triggered the error.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.parameter
  [ attribute name ]
string Conditionally Various warning and error messages return one or more variables that contain contextual information about the error. This is often the field or value that triggered the error.
errorMessage.error.severity ErrorSeverity Conditionally Indicates whether the reported problem is fatal (an error) or is less- severe (a warning). Review the error message details for information on the cause.

If the request fails and the application is the source of the error (for example, a required element is missing), update the application before you retry the request. If the problem is due to incorrect user data, alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, re-send the request to eBay.

If the source of the problem is on eBay's side, you can retry the request a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends you try the request twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, you can resend the request in its original form.

If a warning occurs, warning information is returned in addition to the business data. Normally, you do not need to resend the request (as the original request was successful). However, depending on the cause of the warning, you might need to contact the end user, or eBay, to effect a long term solution to the problem.

Applicable values:

Error
eBay encountered a fatal error during the processing of the request, causing the request to fail. When eBay encounters an error, it returns error data instead of the requested business data. Inspect the error details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request.
Warning
The request was successfully processed, but eBay encountered a non-fatal error during the processing that could affect the data returned. For example, eBay might have changed the value of an input field. In this case, eBay returns a successful response, but it also returns a warning. For best results, requests should return without warnings. Inspect the warning details and resolve the problem before resubmitting the request.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
errorMessage.error.subdomain string Conditionally Name of the subdomain in which the error occurred.
subdomain values:
Finding
The error is specific to the Finding service.
MarketplaceCommon
The error is common to all Marketplace services.


outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
itemSearchURL anyURI Always A URL to view the search results on the eBay web site. The search results on the web site will use the same pagination as the API search results.

Note: eBay URLs returned in fields, such as viewItemURL, are subject to syntax and other changes without notice. To avoid problems in your application when eBay alters the URL format, we advise you to avoid parsing eBay URLs programmatically. We strive to ensure that other fields in the response contain all the information that is encoded in the URL, and more.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
paginationOutput PaginationOutput Conditionally Indicates the pagination of the result set. Child elements indicate the page number that is returned, the maximum number of item listings to return per page, total number of pages that can be returned, and the total number of listings that match the search criteria.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
paginationOutput
  .entriesPerPage
int Conditionally The maximum number of items that can be returned in the response. This number is always equal to the value input for paginationInput.entriesPerPage.

The end of the result set has been reached if the number specified for entriesPerPage is greater than the number of items found on the specified pageNumber. In this case, there will be fewer items returned than the number specified in entriesPerPage. This can be determined by comparing the entriesPerPage value with the value returned in the count attribute for the searchResult field.
Min: 1. Max: 100.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
paginationOutput.pageNumber int Conditionally The subset of item data returned in the current response. Search results are divided into sets, or "pages," of item data. The number of pages is equal to the total number of items matching the search criteria divided by the value specified for entriesPerPage in the request. The response for a request contains one "page" of item data.

This returned value indicates the page number of item data returned (a subset of the complete result set). If this field contains 1, the response contains the first page of item data (the default). If the value returned in totalEntries is less than the value for entriesPerPage, pageNumber returns 1 and the response contains the entire result set.

The value of pageNumber is normally equal to the value input for paginationInput.pageNumber. However, if the number input for pageNumber is greater than the total possible pages of output, eBay returns the last page of item data in the result set, and the value for pageNumber is set to the respective (last) page number.
Min: 0. Max: 100.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
paginationOutput.totalEntries int Conditionally The total number of items found that match the search criteria in your request. Depending on the input value for entriesPerPage, the response might include only a portion (a page) of the entire result set. A value of "0" is returned if eBay does not find any items that match the search criteria.
Min: 0.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
paginationOutput.totalPages int Conditionally The total number of pages of data that could be returned by repeated search requests. Note: If you modify the value of inputPagination.entriesPerPage in a request, the value output for totalPages will change. A value of "0" is returned if eBay does not find any items that match the search criteria.
Min: 0.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
searchResult SearchResult Always Container for the item listings that matched the search criteria. The data for each item is returned in individual containers, if any matches were found.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
searchResult
  [ attribute count ]
int Always Container for the item listings that matched the search criteria. The data for each item is returned in individual containers, if any matches were found.
searchResult.item SearchItem Always,
repeatable: [1..*]
Container for the data of a single item that matches the search criteria.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
searchResult.item.autoPay boolean Always If true, the seller requires immediate payment for the item. If false (or not specified), immediate payment is not requested. Buyers must have a PayPal account to purchase items that require immediate payment.

A seller can choose to require immediate payment for Fixed Price and Buy It Now listings, including eBay Stores Inventory listings. If a Buy It Now item ends as an auction (that is, if the Buy It Now option is removed due to bids being placed on the listing), the immediate payment requirement does not apply.

Note: The value of the AutoPay flag indicates the seller's stated preference only. It does not indicate whether the listing is still a candidate for purchase via immediate payment. For example, if a listing receives bids and no longer qualifies for immediate payment, the value of the AutoPay flag does not change.
Only applicable to items listed on PayPal-enabled sites and in categories that support immediate payment.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
searchResult.item.charityId string Conditionally A unique identification number assigned by eBay to a registered non-profit charity organization.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)

See GetCharities in the Trading API for information to retrieve details on a specific charity.

searchResult.item.condition Condition Conditionally Contains information about the item's condition. Only returned when the seller listed the item with an item condition.

Different categories can support different condition choices. If a listing is in two categories, the seller uses condition details that are supported in the primary category. Thus, even if two nearly identical items are found in the same category search, they could support different condition details if they have different primary categories. For example, suppose Seller A lists a concert T-shirt in clothing, and also in music accessories as the secondary category. Seller B lists an identical shirt in music accessories only. If you search against the music accessories category, you will find both items, but seller A's shirt may have condition details that are slightly different from seller B's shirt, because the listings have different primary categories.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
searchResult.item.condition
  .conditionDisplayName
string Conditionally The human-readable label for the item condition. Display names are localized for the site on which they're listed (not necessarily the site on which they're viewed).

In item results, this is only returned when the seller specified the item's condition using a structured format eBay recognizes (e.g., conditionId or an older item specifics format).

When conditionId is also present: Most categories use the same display name for the same condition ID. Some categories may override the display name based on buyer expectations for items in the category. For example, condition ID 1000 could be called "New" in one category and "New with tags" in another. If an item is listed in two categories, the primary category controls the display name.

Behind the scenes, eBay's search engine uses the ID (not the display name) to determine whether items are new, used, or refurbished. So, if you need to normalize the conditions across categories (such as to group items by condition), it may be easier to use the ID and then show the varying display names for reference.

In condition histograms: If you search against a specific category and some items match based on their secondary category, the histogram only shows the display name if the secondary category supports the condition. (Condition IDs and names are dependent on the primary category.) However, the histogram shows the condition ID and item counts. This should only occur in a very small percent of results. Histograms may support display names in these cases later in 2011. As a workaround, you can fill in the missing name based on the "Item Condition IDs and Names" (link below) or based on the condition from an applicable item in the results.

For example, suppose a seller lists a concert T-shirt in a clothing category with the condition "New without tags" (1500), and also in a music accessories secondary category (where "New without tags" isn't a recognized condition). If you specify the music accessories category in your request, the condition ID (1500) is shown in the histogram, but not the display name. However, the display name is shown within the items.
Max length: 50.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)

See Item Condition IDs and Names for a list of display names and the typical meaning of each condition.

searchResult.item.condition
  .conditionId
int Conditionally The numeric ID (e.g., 1000) for the item condition.

In item results, this is only returned when the seller listed the item with a condition ID. Some categories don't support or require condition IDs (e.g., most Antiques categories don't). Also, until spring 2011, some GTC listings may define the item condition in item specifics instead, so no ID is returned.

If you specify Condition in itemFilter, the response returns items with the correctly matching condition(s), even if conditionId is not returned. For example, if you specify a value of "New" or "1000" in the item filter, the response only returns new items.
Min: 1000. Max: 7000.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)

See Item Condition IDs and Names for a list of display names and the typical meaning of each condition.

searchResult.item.distance Distance (double) Conditionally The distance that the item is from the buyer, calculated using buyerPostalCode. The unit for distance varies by site, and is either miles or kilometers. If the country whose site you are searching uses kilometers to measure distance (for example, India/EBAY-IN), the unit is kilometers. If the site is either the US or UK, the distance unit is miles.

This value is only returned for distance-based searches. You must specify a buyerPostalCode and either sort by Distance, or use a combination of the MaxDistance LocalSearch itemFilters.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)
searchResult.item.distance
  [ attribute unit ]
string Conditionally The distance that the item is from the buyer, calculated using buyerPostalCode. The unit for distance varies by site, and is either miles or kilometers.

boolean Conditionally Shows whether or not the seller will accept a best offer for the associated item. Best Offer allows a buyer to make a lower-priced binding offer on a fixed price item. Buyers cannot see how many offers have been made (only the seller can see this information). To make a best offer on a listing, use the eBay Web site.

outputSelector: none (not controlled by outputSelector)

  .buyItNowAvailable
boolean Conditionally Applies only to auction listings that were listed with a Buy It Now price. Buy It Now lets a user purchase the item at a fixed price, effectively ending the auction. On most sites, the Buy It Now option is removed (and this value returns false) once a valid bid is made on the associated item (a valid bid could be a bid above the reserve price).

buyItNowAvailable will return "false" if the listing type is anything but "AuctionWithBIN". Please ignore buyItNowAvailable for fixed-price listings.

token Conditionally The format of the listing, such as online auction, fixed price, or advertisement.
listingType values:
AdFormat
Advertisement to solicit inquiries on listings such as real estate. Permits no bidding on that item, service, or property. To express interest, a buyer fills out a contact form that eBay forwards to the seller as a lead. This format does not enable buyers and sellers to transact online through eBay and eBay Feedback is not available for ad format listings.
Auction
Competitive-bid online auction format. Buyers engage in competitive bidding, although Buy It Now may be offered as long as no valid bids have been placed. Online auctions are listed on eBay.com; they can also be listed in a seller's eBay Store if the seller is a Store owner.
AuctionWithBIN
Same as Auction format, but Buy It Now is enabled. AuctionWithBIN changes to Auction if a valid bid has been placed on the item. Valid bids include bids that are equal to or above any specified reserve price.
Classified
Classified Ads connect buyers and sellers, who then complete the sale outside of eBay. This format does not enable buyers and sellers to transact online through eBay and eBay Feedback is not available for these listing types.
FixedPrice
A fixed-price listing. Auction-style bidding is not allowed. On some sites, this auction format is also known as "Buy It Now Only" (not to be confused with the Buy It Now option available with competitive- bidding auctions). Fixed-price listings appear on eBay.com; they can also be listed in a seller's eBay Store if the seller is a Store owner.
StoreInventory
A fixed-price format for eBay Store sellers. Store Inventory listings appear after other listings in regular browse and search item listings on eBay. Store items have a lower Insertion Fee and longer listing durations. This selling type can only be specified by sellers who have an eBay Store.

Change History

Change Date Description
1.13.0
10/21/2014
  • domainFilter (deprecated): The domainFilter field has been deprecated. You should use categoryID instead. Calls using domainFilter will not fail, but the field will be ignored.
1.12.0
05/16/2012
  • unitPrice (doc change): In the call reference documentation, unitPrice had appeared erroneously under searchResult.item.sellerInfo. It now appears in its correct location under searchResult.item, with an updated description. The unitPrice container and its child fields, quantity and type, are returned only if the value of outputSelector is UnitPriceInfo.
  • shippingInfo (doc change): Three shippingInfo fields (expeditedShipping, handlingTime and oneDayShippingAvailable) are returned only for items listed on the eBay US site. This was not previously made clear in the field descriptions.
  • itemFilter (doc change): Descriptions of this container and its fields have been clarified. The itemFilter container provides the specifications for limiting the number of items returned by a find request. Use itemFilter to specify name/value pairs. The itemFilter.name field (ItemFilterType) provides the names of filters that can be used to limit the number of items returned by a find request. Must be accompanied by a corresponding itemFilter.value field. See the ItemFilterType reference page for descriptions of the available filters.
  • OutputSelector, aspectFilter (doc change): Added this note to the outputSelector.AspectHistogram enum and aspectFilter field descriptions: If a call that specifies an outputSelector value of AspectHistogram returns aspectHistogramContainer.domainName, this is a sign that aspect histogram data might not be returned if you also specify an aspectFilter in the next call. To ensure that aspect histogram data is returned for the next call, add a domainFilter to the call as well.
1.11.0
06/08/2011
  • (added) New call.
