OfferType

Indicates the type of offer being made on the specified listing. If the item is Best Offer-enabled and the buyer makes a Best Offer (or a counter offer), then after the PlaceOffer call, the buyer can get the status of the Best Offer (and a seller-counter-offer, etc.) using the GetBestOffers call. See the eBay Features Guide for information about Best Offer-enabled listings and about GetBestOffers.

The unique identifier of a Best Offer on an item. This value must be specified as input to PlaceOffer if a buyer is performing any action against a Best Offer or Counter Offer.

Not used by any call.

Dollar amount of the bid in the user's currency. This field is always returned but its amount will be the same as the value in the MaxBid field, unless currency conversion was actually performed.

DO NOT USE THIS FIELD. This field is only for internal or future use.

This amount indicates the highest bid that the corresponding bidder has made on the auction item. If that specific bidder has only made one bid on the auction listing, this value will be the same value as in the MaxBid field, but if the bidder has made multiple bids on the auction item, the HighestBid will show the highest of the bidder's bids, but MaxBid will show the value of the corresponding bid.

Not used by any call.

The unique identifier of an eBay listing item listed on the eBay site. Returned by eBay when the item is created.

Amount of the offer placed. For auction listings, the amount bid on the item (subject to outbid by other buyers). For fixed-price listings, the fixed sale price at which the item is purchased. For auction listings with an active Buy It Now option, this amount will be either the Buy It Now price for purchase or the amount of a bid, depending on the offer type (as specified in Action). For PlaceOffer, the CurrencyID attribute is ignored if provided. Regarding Value-Added Tax (VAT): Even if VAT applies, you do not need to add VAT to the MaxBid value. If VAT applies to the listing, the seller can specify a VAT percent value when they list the item.

A message from the buyer to the seller. Applies if the buyer is using PlaceOffer to perform a Best Offer-related action (Best Offer, Counter Offer, etc.).

The maximum bid placed by the user making the call. This field is only returned if the corresponding bid was made by the user making the call.

Specifies the quantity of items from the specified listing that the user tendering the offer intends to purchase, bid on, or make a Best Offer on. For auctions, the value is always 1 . For multiple-quantity listings, this value must be greater than zero but not exceeding the quantity available for sale in the listing.

Indicates the user's preference to accept second chance offers. If true, the user is willing to be the recipient of second chance offers.

Unique ID identifying the currency in which the localized offer amounts are expressed.

Timestamp indicating the date and time that the bid was placed.

Not used by any call.

The unique identifier of the order line item (transaction). An order line item is created when a winning bidder commits to purchasing an item.

This container consists of detailed information on the user that made the bid. Some information in this container will be masked unless the call is made by the owner of the listing.

If true, confirms that the bidder read and agrees to eBay's privacy policy. Applies if the subject item is in a category that requires user consent. If user consent, which is confirmation that a bidder read and agrees to eBay's privacy policy, is required for a category that the subject item is in, this value must be true for a bid to occur.
