updateBundleStatus

The updateBundleStatus call is used by a seller to update the status of one or more product bundles.

Request Details

A bundleStatusMap container is required for each product bundle that is to be updated. The bundleStatusMap container requires the bundleID (of the product bundle to be updated) and a bundleStatus value (the specified product bundle will be changed to this value).

Working with the Response

A bundleStatus container is returned for each updated product bundle. If the status of a product bundle was not updated successfully, an errorMessage container is returned at the product bundle level. To determine the issue, read the error message(s).

Note: If they occur, errors and/or warnings are returned at the call level and at the product bundle level in the updateBundleStatus response. If an error or warning appears at the call level, there is an issue with the call request. If an error or warning occurs at the product bundle level, there is an issue with the update of that specific bundle.

Return Value Type Occurrence Meaning
Standard Output Fields   [Jump to call-specific fields]
ack AckValue Always A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status.

Applicable values:

•   Failure

(out) 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

(out) eBay successfully processed the request, but one or more non-fatal errors occurred during the processing. Inspect the message details and resolve any problems before resubmitting the request.

•   Success

(out) 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

(out) The request that triggered the error was processed successfully but with one or more warnings.


errorMessage ErrorMessage Conditionally Information for an error or warning that occurred when eBay processed the request. This field is not returned if the ack value is Success.
errorMessage.error ErrorData Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*]
Details about a single error.
errorMessage.error.category ErrorCategory Conditionally There are three categories of errors: request errors, application errors, and system errors.

Applicable values:

•   Application

(out) 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

(out) 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

(out) 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 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.


errorMessage.error.domain string Conditionally Name of the domain in which the error occurred.
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.
errorMessage.error.exceptionId token Conditionally Unique identifier for an exception associated with an error.
errorMessage.error.message string Conditionally A detailed description of the condition that caused the error.
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.
errorMessage.error.parameter
  [ attribute name ]
string Conditionally The name of the input parameter returned with the error. Inspecting the parameter (or its input value) will often aid in understanding the cause of the error. Not all error messages contain this value.
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, resend 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

(out) 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

(out) 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.


errorMessage.error.subdomain string Conditionally Name of the subdomain in which the error occurred.
timestamp dateTime Always This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See Time Values in the eBay Web Services guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone.
version string Always The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request.
Call-specific Output Fields
bundleStatus BundleStatus Always,
repeatable: [1..*]

An errorMessage container is returned if there is an error or warning associated with the product bundle status update.
bundleStatus.ack AckValue Always This ack value indicates the sucess or failure of creating, updating, or deleting a product bundle.

Applicable values:

•   Failure

(out) 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.
