Fields

CharacteristicsSet ( CharacteristicsSetType )
DetailsURL ( anyURI )
MaxPrice ( AmountType (double) )
MinPrice ( AmountType (double) )
NumItems ( int )
ProductReferenceID ( string )

CharacteristicsSet ( CharacteristicsSetType ) [0..1]
A set of characteristics that describe the product in a standardized way. In responses, only the attributes and values that applicable for the specified product are returned.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use CharacteristicsSet.

DetailsURL ( anyURI ) [0..1]
Fully qualified URL for optional information about the product, such as a movie's description or film credits. This information is hosted through the eBay site and cannot be edited. Applications can include this URL as a link in product search results so that end users can view additional descriptive details about the product.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use DetailsURL.

MaxPrice ( AmountType (double) ) [0..1]
Highest current price of active and ended listings on the specified eBay site that were pre-filled based on this product. The value is in the specified site's currency. Round numbers (such as 15.0) may only show one zero after the decimal (as with any double in the schema).
See the Field Index to learn which calls use MaxPrice.

MinPrice ( AmountType (double) ) [0..1]
Lowest current price of active and ended listings on the specified eBay site that were pre-filled based on this product. The value is in the specified site's currency.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use MinPrice.

NumItems ( int ) [0..1]
Total number of active listings on the specified eBay site that were pre-filled based on this product.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use NumItems.

ProductReferenceID ( string ) [0..1]
eBay's global reference ID for a catalog product. On the eBay Web site, this is known as the "ePID". A reference ID is a fixed reference to a product (regardless of version). One reference ID can be associated with multiple ProductID values. The value should start with "EPID", for example "EPID30971438" (without quotes). You can find reference IDs for products by using GetProducts (or FindProducts in the Shopping API). You can also find the ePID on eBay's Web site.

If the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ID should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category).

Some sites (such as eBay US, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) are updating, replacing, deleting, or merging some products (as a result of migrating from one catalog data provider to another). If you specify one of these products in a request, the call may return the product with a warning, or it may return an error if the product has been deleted.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use ProductReferenceID.

Attributes

productID ( string )
For GetProductFamilyMembers, GetProductSearchResults, and GetProductSellingPages, a unique identifier for the product. The ID is defined in an eBay catalog. Product IDs may change over time. Therefore, use the catalog search calls (GetProductSearchResults and GetProductFamilyMembers) to update any product IDs that you store locally.

stockPhotoURL ( anyURI )
Fully qualified URL for a standard image that is associated with the product, if available. Allows the user to preview the image from your application. A user can choose to include the stock photo in a listing.

title ( string )
The name of the product, as defined within the catalog. Not necessarily the same as the "Title" attribute in the characteristics set meta-data, if any. On the eBay site, this title serves as the basis for the suggested item title (truncated to the max length permitted for Title in item-listing calls). Applications can use this value to supply a suggested listing title to users.
