See Time Values in the eBay Web Services guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone. Always Reserved for future use. Returned errors are categorized as either Application, Request, or System errors. Request and application errors are often caused by passing invalid data in the call request. System errors are primarily caused by application failures and cannot be corrected by changing request values. 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. 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. 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.

Conditionally Name of the subdomain in which the error occurred. 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. Conditionally There are three categories of errors: request errors, application errors, and system errors. Conditionally A detailed description of the condition that caused the error. Conditionally Unique identifier for an exception associated with an error.

Conditionally Indicates whether the error is a fatal error (causing the request to fail) or a less severe error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user. 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. 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 Return, 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. Reserved for future use. Reserved for future use.

The shipping regions and countries that may be specified as shipToLocation values will vary according to eBay site. The seller may include as many valid shipToLocation values as necessary based on where they are willing to ship an item. If no shipToLocation field is included in the domesticShippingPolicyInfoService container when using the addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile calls, eBay will automatically add the seller's listing country as a 'Ship-To Location'. If the seller does want to offer international shipping as part of the shipping profile, at least one shipToLocation field in the internationalShippingPolicyInfoService container is required when using the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls. To offer shipping to every region and country (supported by eBay shipping services), the seller can pass in 'Worldwide' as a shipToLocation value. If the seller wants to ship to a specific region, but would like to exclude one or more countries in that region, the seller should include that region as a shipToLocation value, but then exclude one or more countries in that region by including one or more instances of the shippingPolicyInfo.excludeShipToLocation field.

The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must be present for both domestic and international shipping services, otherwise, that specific shipping service option is no longer valid and cannot be offered to buyers through a listing. The seller must specify one shipping service in each domesticShippingPolicyInfoService and internationalShippingPolicyInfoService container in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile request. Up to four domestic and five international shipping service may be offered to the buyer per listing. If 'Get It Fast' shipping is being enabled for the shipping profile (fastShipping=true), the first specified domestic shipping service (specified in the first domesticShippingPolicyInfoService.shippingService field) must be a one-day shipping service. To verify that a domestic shipping service is a one-day shipping service (hence, it qualifies for 'Get It Fast' shipping), call GeteBayDetails, including 'ShippingServiceDetails' as a DetailName value, and then look for a ShippingCategory value of 'ONE_DAY' for the corresponding shipping service.

Sellers can specify up to four domestic shipping services (in four separate domesticShippingPolicyInfoService containers), so valid values are 1, 2, 3, and 4. A shipping service option with a sortOrderId value of '1' appears at the top of View Item and Checkout pages. Conversely, a shipping service option with a sortOrderId value of '4' appears at the bottom of a list of four shipping service options. Sellers can specify up to five international shipping services (in five separate internationalShippingPolicyInfoService containers), so valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Similarly to domesstic shipping service options, the sortOrderId value of a international shipping service option controls the placement of that shipping service option in the View Item and Checkout pages.

Starting with Trading Version 817, a DispatchTimeMax value of '0' will indicate that the seller is offering same-day shipping. At this time, sellers can set the shippingPolicyInfo.dispatchTimeMax value to '0' or '1' to enable 'Get It Fast' shipping.</li> </ul> Although it is not required, it is recommended that sellers also offer an immediate payment option to the buyer, so they can get their item even faster.

This field is required for all multi-quantity, fixed-price listings where flat-rate shipping is used. This value is at the seller's discretion. Generally, it should be the same price or lower than the shippingServiceCost value. The seller may consider specifying a lower price to ship additional items as an incentive to the buyer to purchase multiple items. The seller may also consider a lower price if he/she is able to ship multiple items in the same box. In this scenario, the seller is able to save on shipping costs and passes these savings down to the buyer. The total shipping costs for an order line item is calculated with the following formula: Total shipping costs = shippingServiceCost + (shippingServiceAdditionalCost * quantity purchased) So, if a buyer purchases four identical items, and the seller has specified shippingServiceCost as $6.00 and shippingServiceAdditionalCost as $2.00, the total shipping cost for the order line item is $12.00 ($6.00 + ($2.00 * 3)).

In the Trading API calls that return the AutoPay field (immediatePay equivalent), be aware that the field's appearance in the output does not necessarily indicate that the listing qualifies for immediate payment, but only that the seller attempted to create (by including and setting immediatePay to 'true' in the payment profile) an immediate payment option. In order for a seller to apply an immediate payment requirement for an item, the following must be true: <ul> <li>seller must have a Premier or Business PayPal account;</li> <li>the Buy It Now price (if applicable) cannot be higher than $10,000 USD;</li> <li>the listing site supports PayPal payments;</li> <li>the category supports PayPal payments;</li> <li>the listing type is fixed-price or auction (with Buy It Now option).</li> </ul> To successfully enable the immediate payment requirement, the seller must also perform the following actions through the API call: <ul> <li>seller must provide a valid paymentProfile.paymentInfo.paypalEmailAddress value;</li> <li>seller must offer PayPal as the only payment method;</li> <li>seller must specify all related costs to the buyer, since the buyer will not be able to use the Buyer Request Total feature in an immediate payment listing; these costs include flat-rate shipping costs for each domestic and international shipping service offered, package handling costs, and any shipping surcharges;</li> <li>seller must include and set the shippingProfileDiscountInfo container values if promotional shipping discounts will be used;</li> </ul> false addSellerProfile setSellerProfile Conditionally getSellerProfiles addSellerProfile setSellerProfile Conditionally This free-form string field allows the seller to give payment instructions to the buyer.

For Add/Revise/Relist family of Trading API calls, if the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption=ReturnsAccepted), the RefundOption value will be set with a default value (such as 'MoneyBack') on some eBay sites, and the seller is obligated to honor this setting. Therefore, to avoid unexpected obligations, the seller should set his/her desired value here.

An exception to this rule is on some eBay European sites (UK, Ireland, DE), where some categories require business sellers to accept returns for fixed-price items and auction items purchased with the Buy It Now option. The GetUser Trading API call can be used by DE/IE/UK sellers to determine a user's current business seller status (look at User.SellerInfo.SellerBusinessType).

If the seller does want to offer international shipping as part of the shipping profile, at least one shipToLocation field in the internationalShippingPolicyInfoService container is required when using the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls. To offer shipping to every region and country (supported by eBay shipping services), the seller can pass in 'Worldwide' as a shipToLocation value. If the seller wants to offer shipping to one or more specific shipping regions, the seller must include that shipping region in a shipToLocation field. If the seller wants to ship to a specific region, but would like to exclude one or more countries in that region, the seller should use one or more instances of the shippingPolicyInfo.excludeShipToLocation field. Applicable shipping region values are defined in ShippingRegionCodeType and applicable country codes are defined in CountryCodeType. However, it is best practice for sellers to call GeteBayDetails, using ShipppingLocationDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then scanning the ShippingLocationDetails.ShippingLocation values that are returned in the response.

The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must be present for both domestic and international shipping services, otherwise, that specific shipping service option is no longer valid and cannot be offered to buyers through a listing. The seller must specify one shipping service in each domesticShippingPolicyInfoService and internationalShippingPolicyInfoService container in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile request. Up to four domestic and five international shipping service may be offered to the buyer per listing. If 'Get It Fast' shipping is being enabled for the shipping profile (fastShipping=true), the first specified domestic shipping service (specified in the first domesticShippingPolicyInfoService.shippingService field) must be a one-day shipping service. To verify that a domestic shipping service is a one-day shipping service (hence, it qualifies for 'Get It Fast' shipping), call GeteBayDetails, including 'ShippingServiceDetails' as a DetailName value, and then look for a ShippingCategory value of 'ONE_DAY' for the corresponding shipping service.

Starting in May 2013, a DispatchTimeMax value of '0' will indicate that the seller is offering same-day shipping. As soon as same-day shipping becomes available to them, sellers can set the shippingPolicyInfo.dispatchTimeMax value to '0' or '1' to enable 'Get It Fast' shipping.</li> </ul> Although it is not required, it is recommended that sellers also offer an immediate payment option to the buyer, so they can get their item even faster. In the payment profile, this option is turned on with the paymentInfo.immediatePay flag.

This field is required for all multi-quantity, fixed-price listings where flat-rate shipping is used. This value is at the seller's discretion. Generally, it should be the same price or lower than the shippingServiceCost value. The seller may consider specifying a lower price to ship additional items as an incentive to the buyer to purchase multiple items. The seller may also consider a lower price if he/she is able to ship multiple items in the same box. In this scenario, the seller is able to save on shipping costs and passes these savings down to the buyer. The total shipping costs for an order line item is calculated with the following formula: Total shipping costs = shippingServiceCost + (shippingServiceAdditionalCost * quantity purchased) So, if a buyer purchases four identical items, and the seller has specified shippingServiceCost as $6.00 and shippingServiceAdditionalCost as $2.00, the total shipping cost for the order line item is $12.00 ($6.00 + ($2.00 * 3)).

The total shipping costs for an order line item is calculated with the following formula: Total shipping costs = shippingServiceCost + (shippingServiceAdditionalCost * quantity purchased) So, if a buyer purchases four identical items, and the seller has specified shippingServiceCost as $6.00 and shippingServiceAdditionalCost as $2.00, the total shipping cost for the order line item is $12.00 ($6.00 + ($2.00 * 3)).
