Field
A SKU (stock keeping unit) is an identifier defined by a seller. Some sellers use SKUs to track complex flows of products and information on the client side. A seller can specify a SKU when listing an item with AddItem and related calls. eBay preserves the SKU on the item, enabling you to obtain it before and after an order line item is created. (SKU is recommended as an alternative to ApplicationData.)
A SKU is not required to be unique. A seller can specify a particular SKU value on one item or on multiple items. Different sellers can use the same SKUs.
If the SKU is unique across a seller's active listings, and if the seller listed the item by using AddFixedPriceItem or RelistFixedPriceItem, the seller can also set Item.InventoryTrackingMethod to SKU. This allows the seller to use SKU instead of ItemID as a unique identifier in subsequent calls, such as GetItem and ReviseInventoryStatus.
