When VAT is applicable to an order, a buyer's VAT Identifier Number (VATIN) will be returned at the order level, and eBay's VAT tax ID will be returned at the line item level for all order management calls. This VAT information will be returned in the following locations:
IOSS, OSS, or ABN. The eBayTaxReferenceValue type was added to support this new field and associated attribute.VATIN value, which was added to the existing ValueTypeCodeType.|
Note: The eBay VAT ID and buyer VATIN fields will not start getting returned until June 30, 2021. Going forward after June 30, developers will need to use a Trading WSDL with a version number of 1211 (or newer) for the VAT ID/VATIN values to be returned in the new fields. Otherwise, the VAT information will be returned in the Order.ShippingAddress.Street2 field. Developers will also have the option of using an older version than 1211, but setting the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL header value to 1211 or higher. On January 31, 2022, the Order.ShippingAddress.Street2 will stop being used to return VAT information regardless of WSDL version or compatibility level. |

The VideoDetails container has been added to all Add/Revise/Relist/Verify calls, and passing in the ID for the video will add the video to the listing. eBay will perform a validation check on each specified VideoID value to verify that the video belongs to, and was uploaded by the seller.
The GetItem call will return the VideoDetails container if the listing contains a video, and the seller of the item is the one making the call.
At present, videos can be attached to listings on the eBay US marketplace and can be viewed through the native apps (iOS and Android) only. Additional sites and platforms will be supported in the near future.
