To obtain supported values for a site, call GeteBayDetails, using DispatchTimeMaxDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then look at the DispatchTimeMaxDetails container in the response for supported values for the site. Note that Top-Rated sellers must offer same-day or one-day handling for a listing in order for that listing to receive a Top Rated Plus seal on the View Item or Search Results. To offer zero-day or one-day handling, the seller should include the dispatchTimeMax field in the shipping business policy and set the value of this field to '0' or '1', respectively. The dispatchTimeMax field must be included in the shipping policy and set to '0' or '1' if the fastShipping flag is included and set to 'true' in the shipping policy. Note: Traditionally in the Trading API, sellers using an Add/Revise/Relist API call were allowed to pass in a DispatchTimeMax value of '0' to indicate that no handling time is specified for the listing. However, with the onboarding of same-day shipping, a DispatchTimeMax value of '0' will indicate that the seller is offering same-day shipping. Now, sellers that do not want to specify a handling time for their shipping policy, should omit the dispatchTimeMax field, or they can include it but set it to null. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Min: 1. Max: 30. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .dispatchTimeReason |
string | Optional |
This free-form string field is used by the seller to provide more details to the buyer about handling time. If set for the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticRateTable |
token | Optional |
This value indicates that the seller's domestic shipping rate table should be referenced to determine flat-rate shipping costs based on shipping service level and delivery location. Currently, the only valid value for domesticRateTable is 'Default', which means that the default domestic shipping rate table set up by the seller in My eBay is referenced. Including this field in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call will only have an effect on flat shipping rates if a domestic shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account in My eBay, and it will only affect those domestic regions for which flat shipping rates are defined. If set for the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Max length: 50. |

boolean | Conditional |
This field is only applicable to vehicle categories on eBay Motors (US and Canada). If this field is included and set to 'true', the buyer is responsible for pickup of the vehicle. If this field is 'false', the seller should specify the vehicle pickup arrangements in the item description. If the vehicle has bids or the listing ends within 12 hours, the seller cannot modify this flag. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Default: true. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .buyerResponsibleForShipping |
boolean | Conditional |
This field is only applicable to vehicle categories on eBay Motors (US and Canada). If this field is included and set to 'true', the buyer is responsible for the shipment of the vehicle. If this field is 'false', the seller should specify the vehicle shipping arrangements in the item description. If the vehicle has bids or the listing ends within 12 hours, the seller cannot modify this flag. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Default: true. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .codFee |
Amount (double) | Conditional |
This value indicates the Cash-on-Delivery fee that is due from the buyer upon item delivery. This field is only applicable if the selected payment method is 'COD' and if the selected shipping service option suppports the Cash-on-Delivery option. To see if a domestic shipping service option supports the Cash-on-Delivery option, call GeteBayDetails, including 'ShippingServiceDetails' as a DetailName value, and then look for a CODService=true flag for the corresponding shipping service. If a Cash-on-Delivery shipping service is defined for the shipping policy, this field is returned in the shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .fastShipping |
boolean | Conditional |
This flag indicates whether or not the seller is offering 'Get It Fast' shipping for the listing. 'Get It Fast' shipping is only available for fixed-price listings and auction listings with an active 'Buy It Now' option. To enable 'Get It Fast' shipping for a listing, the seller must:

|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .freeShipping |
boolean | Conditional |
This flag is used by the seller to offer free domestic shipping to the buyer. This field can only be included and set to 'true' for the first specified domestic shipping service option (it is ignored if set for any other shipping service option). The first specified shipping service option either has a sortOrderId value of '1', or, if the sortOrderId field is not used, the shipping service option specified first in the API call. If free shipping is set for a domestic shipping service, this field is returned in the shipping business policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingService |
string | Conditional |
A domestic or international shipping service being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer. For a list of valid shippingService values, call GeteBayDetails, including ShippingServiceDetails as a DetailName value, and then look through the ShippingServiceDetails containers returned in the response. International shipping services are marked with an InternationalService flag. All shipping services without this flag are domestic shipping services. The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must be present for both domestic and international shipping services, otherwise, thatspecific 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 policy (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. 'Get It Fast' shipping is not available for international shipping. Each shipping service specified for the shipping policy is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. See GeteBayDetails. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingServiceAdditionalCost |
Amount (double) | Conditional |
This value sets the cost of shipping each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple identical items in a multi-quantity, fixed-price listing. 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)). This field is not applicable to calculated shipping. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingServiceCost |
Amount (double) | Conditional |
This value sets the cost of shipping for the item if the buyer selects this shipping service option. This field is required in the input for all listings where flat-rate shipping is used, and is not applicable to calculated shipping. This value is at the seller's discretion but should reflect the approximate cost of the shipping service option plus handling. This value defaults to '0.0' if the freeShipping field is set to 'true'. 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)). This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingSurcharge |
Amount (double) | Optional |
An additional charge that US sellers can add to the cost of an order line item if that order line item is an eBay Motors Parts and Accessories item that is being shipped to a buyer in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico through a UPS or FedEx shipping service that charges a surcharge to ship to those areas. In order for sellers to add a shipping surcharge at the shipping service level, the following must be true:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shipToLocation |
token | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
An international region (such as Asia or Europe) or a country (represented by two-letter country code) to where the seller will ship an item. To obtain valid 'Ship-To locations' for their site, the seller must 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 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 policy, 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. Each ship-to location specified for the shipping service is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .sortOrderId |
int | Conditional |
This integer value controls the order (relative to other shipping service options) in which the corresponding shipping service option will appear in the View Item and Checkout pages. 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. If the sortOrderId field is not used, the order of domestic and international shipping service options will be determined by the order they are listed in the API call. This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Min: 1. Max: 4 (for domestic shipping service) or 5 (for international shipping service). |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingType |
token | Optional |
The domestic shipping cost model used by the seller. The only three valid values are 'Calculated', 'Flat', or 'FreightFlat'. If this field is not included and specified in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, it defaults to 'Flat' shipping. If 'FreightFlat' is specified as the domestic shipping type, the freightShipping container and its values must be set in the shipping policy. If 'Calculated' is used as the shipping type, the CalculatedShippingRate container must be used when listing, revising, or relisting an item through the Trading API. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Default: Flat. See Shipping. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .EligibleForPickupDropOff |
boolean | Optional |
This field is used in Add/Revise/Relist calls to enable the listing for the "Click and Collect" feature. To enable the listing for the "Click and Collect" feature, the seller includes this boolean field and sets its value to 'true'. A seller must be eligible for the "Click and Collect" feature to list an item that is eligible for "Click and Collect". At this time, the "Click and Collect" feature is only available to large retail merchants on the eBay UK site (site ID 3). In addition to setting the EligibleForPickupDropOff boolean field to 'true', the merchant must also perform the following actions in an Add/Revise/Relist call to enable the "Click and Collect" option on a listing:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .excludeShipToLocation |
token | Optional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Sellers can use this field to exclude one or more international regions, countries, or special domestic locations (such as 'PO Box' in US or 'Packstation' in Germany) as possible shipping locations. To obtain valid 'exclude Ship-To locations', the seller must call GeteBayDetails, using ExcludeShipppingLocationDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then scan the ExcludeShippingLocationDetails.Location values that are returned in the response. The seller may include as many valid excludeShipToLocation values as necessary based on where they are not willing to ship an item. If a buyer's primary ship-to location is a location that the seller has listed as an excluded ship-to location, that buyer will receive an error message if they attempt to buy or place a bid on your item. This field works in conjunction with the shipToLocation values to create a set of international regions, countries, and domestic locations to where the seller will (and will not) ship. You can list a region in the shipToLocation field, then exclude specific countries within that region with this field. For example, you can specify 'Africa' as a shipToLocation value, yet exclude Egypt by including an excludeShipToLocation field with its value set to 'EG', which is Egypt's two-digit country code. In addition, if a seller used only one shipToLocation value and set it to 'Worldwide', that seller can use one or more excludeShipToLocation fields to exclude one or more international regions, countries, or special domestic locations as possible shipping destinations. Each excluded ship-to location is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .freightShipping |

|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .GlobalShipping |
boolean | Optional |
Note: On the US marketplace, the Global Shipping Program is scheduled to be replaced by a new intermediated international shipping program called eBay International Shipping. US Sellers opted in to the Global Shipping Program will automatically get opted into eBay International Shipping once it becomes available to them. All US sellers will be migrated by March 31, 2023. eBay International Shipping is an account level setting, and no field will need to be set in a Fulfillment business policy to enable this setting. As long as the US seller's account is opted in to eBay International Shipping, this shipping option will be automatically enabled for all listings where international shipping is available. Even if the US seller is opted into eBay International Shipping, that same seller can still also specify individual international shipping service options for a Fulfillment business policy. This flag should be included and set to 'true' if the seller wants to enable the Global Shipping Program feature in the shipping policy. If the value of globalShipping is 'true', the Global Shipping Program is the default international shipping option for the listing, and eBay sets the international shipping service to International Priority Shipping. If the value of GlobalShipping is 'false', the seller is responsible for specifying one or more international shipping services for the listing (if the seller wishes to ship internationally). To make use of this field and the Global Shipping Program, the seller and the item being listed must be eligible for the Global Shipping Program. |

If the seller does want to offer international shipping as part of the shipping policy, 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. Each ship-to location specified for the shipping service is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .sortOrderId |
int | Conditional |
This integer value controls the order (relative to other shipping service options) in which the corresponding shipping service option will appear in the View Item and Checkout pages. 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. If the sortOrderId field is not used, the order of domestic and international shipping service options will be determined by the order they are listed in the API call. This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Min: 1. Max: 4 (for domestic shipping service) or 5 (for international shipping service). |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingType |
token | Optional |
The international shipping cost model used by the seller. Valid values are 'Calculated', 'Flat', or 'FreightFlat'. If this field is not included and specified in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, it defaults to 'Flat' shipping. If 'FreightFlat' is specified as the international shipping type, the freightShipping container and its values must be set in the shipping policy. If 'Calculated' is used as the shipping type, the CalculatedShippingRate container must be used when listing, revising, or relisting an item through the Trading API. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Default: Flat. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .packagingHandlingCosts |
Amount (double) | Optional |
This field allows the seller to add package handling costs for shipping an item to a domestic location. If set for the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingOption |
token | Optional |
This optional field helps summarize the locations/regions that the seller will ship an item to. The integer value that is used in this field for an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call should be in synch with the values that are specified in the shipToLocation and excludeShipToLocation fields used in the same call. The possible values are listed below:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingPolicyCurrency |
IsoCurrencyCode | Optional |
Three-digit code that indicates the currency used by the listing site. To obtain valid currency codes, the seller can call GeteBayDetails, using CurrencyDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then scanning the CurrencyDetails.Currency values that are returned in the response. If this field is not included in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, the currency code will default to the standard currency used by the listing site. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Applicable values: See shippingPolicyCurrency. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingPolicyName |
string | Required |
This string value indicates the name of the shipping policy. This business policy name must be unique among all of seller's shipping policies. A shippingPolicyName value is required when using the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls to create or update a shipping policy. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo |
ShippingProfileDiscountInfo | Conditional |
Container consisting of flat-rate or calculated shipping discount profile IDs (that identify the shipping discount rules to apply when domestic and/or international buyers purchase multiple items), as well as flags indicating if promotional shipping discounts are offered to domestic and/or international buyers. Shipping discounts can be created by the seller through My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles call of the Trading API. If shipping discounts are used for a shipping policy, this container is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .applyDomesticPromoShippingProfile |
boolean | Optional |
If this field is included and set to 'true', a domestic buyer will be the recipient of the seller's promotional shipping discount (if that buyer satisfies the buying requirements). The seller can create a promotional shipping rule on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles call of the Trading API.
See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .applyIntlPromoShippingProfile |
boolean | Optional |
If this field is included and set to 'true', an international buyer will be the recipient of the seller's promotional shipping discount (if that buyer satisfies the buying requirements). The seller can create a promotional shipping rule on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles call of the Trading API.
See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .domesticFlatCalcDiscountProfileId |
long | Optional |
Unique identifier for a flat-rate or calculated shipping rule defined by the seller. If the seller specifies a valid shipping discount profile ID for either of these shipping rules, a domestic buyer may receive a shipping discount from the seller when purchasing multiple items. The seller can create and manage shipping discount profiles on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles and GetShippingDiscountProfiles calls of the Trading API. The type of shipping discount profile specified in this field (flat-rate or calculated) should correspond to the domesticShippingType ('Flat' or 'Calculated') value in the shipping policy. Shipping discount profiles are not applicable when Freight shipping is used. See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .intlFlatCalcDiscountProfileId |
long | Optional |
Unique identifier for a flat-rate or calculated shipping rule defined by the seller. If the seller specifies a valid shipping discount profile ID for either of these shipping rules, an international buyer may receive a shipping discount from the seller when purchasing multiple items. The seller can create and manage shipping discount profiles on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles and GetShippingDiscountProfiles calls of the Trading API. The type of shipping discount profile specified in this field (flat-rate or calculated) should correspond to the intlShippingType ('Flat' or 'Calculated') value in the shipping policy. Shipping discount profiles are not applicable when Freight shipping is used. See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shipToLocations |
token | Conditional,
repeatable: [0..*] |
An international region (such as Asia, Europe, or Latin America) or country (represented by two-letter country code) to where the seller will ship an item. It is not necessary to include the shipToLocation field in the domesticShippingPolicyInfoService container when using the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls. However, eBay automatically adds the seller's listing county as a 'Ship-To Location', and the shipToLocation field is always returned for each shipping policy in the addSellerProfile, setSellerProfile, and getSellerProfiles calls. If the seller does want to offer international shipping as part of the shipping policy, 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. Each specified ship-to location is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
| shippingPolicyProfile.siteId | int | Optional | Unique identifier of the eBay site. This value is always returned in the getSellerProfiles call. It is optional in the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls. If it is not used in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, the siteId value defaults to the seller's eBay registration site. |

|
returnPolicyProfile .returnPolicyInfo .returnsAcceptedOption |
token | Conditionally |
This required field indicates whether or not the seller accepts returns. Applicable values are ReturnsAccepted or ReturnsNotAccepted. When set to ReturnsAccepted, this option indicates the seller allows items to be returned. Specify ReturnsNotAccepted for an item if the seller does not accept returns. On the eBay DE, IE, and UK, registered business sellers must accept returns for fixed-price items (including auction items with Buy It Now and any other fixed price formats) when the category requires a return policy. On some European sites, such as eBay Germany (DE), registered business sellers are required to accept returns. Use the Trading call GetUser to determine the status of an eBay business seller in DE, IE, and UK. Review the User.SellerInfo.SellerBusinessType field in the response. Note: In order for Top-Rated sellers to receive a Top-Rated Plus seal for their listings, returns must be accepted for their items (returnsAcceptedOption = ReturnsAccepted) and handling time should be set to zero-day (same-day shipping) or one-day shipping. Set the handling time (in days) using the Item.DispatchTimeMax field. Top-Rated listings qualify for the greatest average boost in Best Match and for the 20 percent Final Value Fee discount. For more information on eBay's Top-Rated seller program, see the Becoming a Top Rated Seller and qualifying for Top Rated Plus page. For setSellerProfile: Updating the values in a business profile can effect the profiles in currently-listed items. In most cases, the updates made to a business policy can be streamlined into existing listings. However, if you update a business policy and the policy is invalid in the category where an item is listed, no error will be thrown and the policy will carry through the regular life of the listing. Sellers will be unable to re-list an item if it refers an invalid policy. Also note eBay will not update the policy's of a description if the listing has bids or sales, or if the listing ends within 12 hours. See:

Specifies the amount of time the buyer has to return an item. The return period begins when the item is marked "delivered" at the buyer's specified ship-to location. Most marketplaces and categories support 30-day and 60-day return periods. eBay sites often set 30-days as the default value for this field and sellers are obligated to honor the values that are set for a listing. This value is required if ReturnsAcceptedOption=ReturnsAccepted. Applicable values: Retrieve the values supported by a marketplace by calling GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails, then review ReturnPolicyDetails.ReturnsWithin.ReturnsWithinOption in the response. Note: In version 1.1.0, the options for this field were reduced. An error will be thrown if you attempt to list an item with invalid business policy settings. See the Release Notes for details. |

shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo |
ShippingPolicyInfo | Conditionally |
This container consists of detailed shipping information for a seller's shipping policy. This container is conditionally required if the caller is creating a new shipping policy or modifying an existing shipping policy. This container is returned by getSellerProfiles if one or more shipping policies match the input criteria in the call request. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .dispatchTimeMax |
int | Always |
Specifies the maximum number of business days the seller commits to for preparing an item to be shipped after receiving a cleared payment for an order. This time does not include the shipping time (the carrier's transit time). Valid values can vary by site and by category. To obtain supported values for a site, call GeteBayDetails, using DispatchTimeMaxDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then look at the DispatchTimeMaxDetails container in the response for supported values for the site. Note that Top-Rated sellers must offer same-day or one-day handling for a listing in order for that listing to receive a Top Rated Plus seal on the View Item or Search Results. To offer zero-day or one-day handling, the seller should include the dispatchTimeMax field in the shipping business policy and set the value of this field to '0' or '1', respectively. The dispatchTimeMax field must be included in the shipping policy and set to '0' or '1' if the fastShipping flag is included and set to 'true' in the shipping policy. Note: Traditionally in the Trading API, sellers using an Add/Revise/Relist API call were allowed to pass in a DispatchTimeMax value of '0' to indicate that no handling time is specified for the listing. However, with the onboarding of same-day shipping, a DispatchTimeMax value of '0' will indicate that the seller is offering same-day shipping. Now, sellers that do not want to specify a handling time for their shipping policy, should omit the dispatchTimeMax field, or they can include it but set it to null. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Min: 1. Max: 30. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .dispatchTimeReason |
string | Conditionally |
This free-form string field is used by the seller to provide more details to the buyer about handling time. If set for the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticRateTable |
token | Conditionally |
This value indicates that the seller's domestic shipping rate table should be referenced to determine flat-rate shipping costs based on shipping service level and delivery location. Currently, the only valid value for domesticRateTable is 'Default', which means that the default domestic shipping rate table set up by the seller in My eBay is referenced. Including this field in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call will only have an effect on flat shipping rates if a domestic shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account in My eBay, and it will only affect those domestic regions for which flat shipping rates are defined. If set for the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Max length: 50. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService |
ShippingPolicyInfoService | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |

|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .buyerResponsibleForPickup |
boolean | Conditionally |
This field is only applicable to vehicle categories on eBay Motors (US and Canada). If this field is included and set to 'true', the buyer is responsible for pickup of the vehicle. If this field is 'false', the seller should specify the vehicle pickup arrangements in the item description. If the vehicle has bids or the listing ends within 12 hours, the seller cannot modify this flag. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .buyerResponsibleForShipping |
boolean | Conditionally |
This field is only applicable to vehicle categories on eBay Motors (US and Canada). If this field is included and set to 'true', the buyer is responsible for the shipment of the vehicle. If this field is 'false', the seller should specify the vehicle shipping arrangements in the item description. If the vehicle has bids or the listing ends within 12 hours, the seller cannot modify this flag. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .codFee |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
This value indicates the Cash-on-Delivery fee that is due from the buyer upon item delivery. This field is only applicable if the selected payment method is 'COD' and if the selected shipping service option suppports the Cash-on-Delivery option. To see if a domestic shipping service option supports the Cash-on-Delivery option, call GeteBayDetails, including 'ShippingServiceDetails' as a DetailName value, and then look for a CODService=true flag for the corresponding shipping service. If a Cash-on-Delivery shipping service is defined for the shipping policy, this field is returned in the shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .fastShipping |

|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .freeShipping |
boolean | Conditionally |
This flag is used by the seller to offer free domestic shipping to the buyer. This field can only be included and set to 'true' for the first specified domestic shipping service option (it is ignored if set for any other shipping service option). The first specified shipping service option either has a sortOrderId value of '1', or, if the sortOrderId field is not used, the shipping service option specified first in the API call. If free shipping is set for a domestic shipping service, this field is returned in the shipping business policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingService |
string | Conditionally |
A domestic or international shipping service being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer. For a list of valid shippingService values, call GeteBayDetails, including ShippingServiceDetails as a DetailName value, and then look through the ShippingServiceDetails containers returned in the response. International shipping services are marked with an InternationalService flag. All shipping services without this flag are domestic shipping services. The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must be present for both domestic and international shipping services, otherwise, thatspecific 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 policy (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. 'Get It Fast' shipping is not available for international shipping. Each shipping service specified for the shipping policy is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. See GeteBayDetails. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingServiceAdditionalCost |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
This value sets the cost of shipping each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple identical items in a multi-quantity, fixed-price listing. 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)). This field is not applicable to calculated shipping. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingServiceCost |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
This value sets the cost of shipping for the item if the buyer selects this shipping service option. This field is required in the input for all listings where flat-rate shipping is used, and is not applicable to calculated shipping. This value is at the seller's discretion but should reflect the approximate cost of the shipping service option plus handling. This value defaults to '0.0' if the freeShipping field is set to 'true'. 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)). This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingSurcharge |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
An additional charge that US sellers can add to the cost of an order line item if that order line item is an eBay Motors Parts and Accessories item that is being shipped to a buyer in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico through a UPS or FedEx shipping service that charges a surcharge to ship to those areas. In order for sellers to add a shipping surcharge at the shipping service level, the following must be true:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .shipToLocation |
token | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
An international region (such as Asia or Europe) or a country (represented by two-letter country code) to where the seller will ship an item. To obtain valid 'Ship-To locations' for their site, the seller must 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 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 policy, 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. Each ship-to location specified for the shipping service is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingPolicyInfoService .sortOrderId |
int | Conditionally |
This integer value controls the order (relative to other shipping service options) in which the corresponding shipping service option will appear in the View Item and Checkout pages. 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. If the sortOrderId field is not used, the order of domestic and international shipping service options will be determined by the order they are listed in the API call. This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Min: 1. Max: 4 (for domestic shipping service) or 5 (for international shipping service). |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .domesticShippingType |
token | Conditionally |
The domestic shipping cost model used by the seller. The only three valid values are 'Calculated', 'Flat', or 'FreightFlat'. If this field is not included and specified in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, it defaults to 'Flat' shipping. If 'FreightFlat' is specified as the domestic shipping type, the freightShipping container and its values must be set in the shipping policy. If 'Calculated' is used as the shipping type, the CalculatedShippingRate container must be used when listing, revising, or relisting an item through the Trading API. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. See Shipping. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .EligibleForPickupDropOff |
boolean | Always |
This field is used in Add/Revise/Relist calls to enable the listing for the "Click and Collect" feature. To enable the listing for the "Click and Collect" feature, the seller includes this boolean field and sets its value to 'true'. A seller must be eligible for the "Click and Collect" feature to list an item that is eligible for "Click and Collect". At this time, the "Click and Collect" feature is only available to large retail merchants on the eBay UK site (site ID 3). In addition to setting the EligibleForPickupDropOff boolean field to 'true', the merchant must also perform the following actions in an Add/Revise/Relist call to enable the "Click and Collect" option on a listing:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .excludeShipToLocation |
token | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
Sellers can use this field to exclude one or more international regions, countries, or special domestic locations (such as 'PO Box' in US or 'Packstation' in Germany) as possible shipping locations. To obtain valid 'exclude Ship-To locations', the seller must call GeteBayDetails, using ExcludeShipppingLocationDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then scan the ExcludeShippingLocationDetails.Location values that are returned in the response. The seller may include as many valid excludeShipToLocation values as necessary based on where they are not willing to ship an item. If a buyer's primary ship-to location is a location that the seller has listed as an excluded ship-to location, that buyer will receive an error message if they attempt to buy or place a bid on your item. This field works in conjunction with the shipToLocation values to create a set of international regions, countries, and domestic locations to where the seller will (and will not) ship. You can list a region in the shipToLocation field, then exclude specific countries within that region with this field. For example, you can specify 'Africa' as a shipToLocation value, yet exclude Egypt by including an excludeShipToLocation field with its value set to 'EG', which is Egypt's two-digit country code. In addition, if a seller used only one shipToLocation value and set it to 'Worldwide', that seller can use one or more excludeShipToLocation fields to exclude one or more international regions, countries, or special domestic locations as possible shipping destinations. Each excluded ship-to location is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |

boolean | Conditionally | Flag indicating if help is required to pick up the freight item. If this value is 'true', help picking up the item is required, and if 'false', help picking up the item is not required. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .GlobalShipping |
boolean | Always |
Note: On the US marketplace, the Global Shipping Program is scheduled to be replaced by a new intermediated international shipping program called eBay International Shipping. US Sellers opted in to the Global Shipping Program will automatically get opted into eBay International Shipping once it becomes available to them. All US sellers will be migrated by March 31, 2023. eBay International Shipping is an account level setting, and no field will need to be set in a Fulfillment business policy to enable this setting. As long as the US seller's account is opted in to eBay International Shipping, this shipping option will be automatically enabled for all listings where international shipping is available. Even if the US seller is opted into eBay International Shipping, that same seller can still also specify individual international shipping service options for a Fulfillment business policy. This flag should be included and set to 'true' if the seller wants to enable the Global Shipping Program feature in the shipping policy. If the value of globalShipping is 'true', the Global Shipping Program is the default international shipping option for the listing, and eBay sets the international shipping service to International Priority Shipping. If the value of GlobalShipping is 'false', the seller is responsible for specifying one or more international shipping services for the listing (if the seller wishes to ship internationally). To make use of this field and the Global Shipping Program, the seller and the item being listed must be eligible for the Global Shipping Program. |

This value indicates that the seller's international shipping rate table should be referenced to determine flat-rate shipping costs based on shipping service level and delivery location. Currently, the only valid value for intlRateTable is 'Default', which means that the default international shipping rate table set up by the seller in My eBay is referenced. Including this field in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call will only have an effect on flat shipping rates if an international shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account in My eBay, and it will only affect those international regions and countries for which flat shipping rates are defined. If set for the shipping policy (Germany and UK only), this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Max length: 50. |

If this field is 'false', the seller should specify the vehicle pickup arrangements in the item description. If the vehicle has bids or the listing ends within 12 hours, the seller cannot modify this flag. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .buyerResponsibleForShipping |
boolean | Conditionally |

|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .codFee |

This field is only applicable if the selected payment method is 'COD' and if the selected shipping service option suppports the Cash-on-Delivery option. To see if a domestic shipping service option supports the Cash-on-Delivery option, call GeteBayDetails, including 'ShippingServiceDetails' as a DetailName value, and then look for a CODService=true flag for the corresponding shipping service. If a Cash-on-Delivery shipping service is defined for the shipping policy, this field is returned in the shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .fastShipping |

|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .freeShipping |
boolean | Conditionally |
This flag is used by the seller to offer free domestic shipping to the buyer. This field can only be included and set to 'true' for the first specified domestic shipping service option (it is ignored if set for any other shipping service option). The first specified shipping service option either has a sortOrderId value of '1', or, if the sortOrderId field is not used, the shipping service option specified first in the API call. If free shipping is set for a domestic shipping service, this field is returned in the shipping business policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingService |
string | Conditionally |
A domestic or international shipping service being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer. For a list of valid shippingService values, call GeteBayDetails, including ShippingServiceDetails as a DetailName value, and then look through the ShippingServiceDetails containers returned in the response. International shipping services are marked with an InternationalService flag. All shipping services without this flag are domestic shipping services. The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must be present for both domestic and international shipping services, otherwise, thatspecific 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 policy (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. 'Get It Fast' shipping is not available for international shipping. Each shipping service specified for the shipping policy is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. See GeteBayDetails. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingServiceAdditionalCost |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
This value sets the cost of shipping each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple identical items in a multi-quantity, fixed-price listing. 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)). This field is not applicable to calculated shipping. If set for one or more shipping services within the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingServiceCost |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
This value sets the cost of shipping for the item if the buyer selects this shipping service option. This field is required in the input for all listings where flat-rate shipping is used, and is not applicable to calculated shipping. This value is at the seller's discretion but should reflect the approximate cost of the shipping service option plus handling. This value defaults to '0.0' if the freeShipping field is set to 'true'. 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)). This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .shippingSurcharge |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
An additional charge that US sellers can add to the cost of an order line item if that order line item is an eBay Motors Parts and Accessories item that is being shipped to a buyer in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico through a UPS or FedEx shipping service that charges a surcharge to ship to those areas. In order for sellers to add a shipping surcharge at the shipping service level, the following must be true:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .shipToLocation |
token | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
An international region (such as Asia or Europe) or a country (represented by two-letter country code) to where the seller will ship an item. To obtain valid 'Ship-To locations' for their site, the seller must 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 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 policy, 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. Each ship-to location specified for the shipping service is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingPolicyInfoService .sortOrderId |
int | Conditionally |
This integer value controls the order (relative to other shipping service options) in which the corresponding shipping service option will appear in the View Item and Checkout pages. 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. If the sortOrderId field is not used, the order of domestic and international shipping service options will be determined by the order they are listed in the API call. This field is always returned (for each shipping service) with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Min: 1. Max: 4 (for domestic shipping service) or 5 (for international shipping service). |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .intlShippingType |
token | Conditionally |

If this field is not included and specified in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, it defaults to 'Flat' shipping. If 'FreightFlat' is specified as the international shipping type, the freightShipping container and its values must be set in the shipping policy. If 'Calculated' is used as the shipping type, the CalculatedShippingRate container must be used when listing, revising, or relisting an item through the Trading API. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .packagingHandlingCosts |
Amount (double) | Conditionally |
This field allows the seller to add package handling costs for shipping an item to a domestic location. If set for the shipping policy, this field is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingOption |
token | Conditionally |
This optional field helps summarize the locations/regions that the seller will ship an item to. The integer value that is used in this field for an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call should be in synch with the values that are specified in the shipToLocation and excludeShipToLocation fields used in the same call. The possible values are listed below:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingPolicyCurrency |
IsoCurrencyCode | Always |
Three-digit code that indicates the currency used by the listing site. To obtain valid currency codes, the seller can call GeteBayDetails, using CurrencyDetails as a DetailName value in the request, and then scanning the CurrencyDetails.Currency values that are returned in the response. If this field is not included in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, the currency code will default to the standard currency used by the listing site. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. Applicable values: See shippingPolicyCurrency. Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingPolicyName |
string | Conditionally |

A shippingPolicyName value is required when using the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls to create or update a shipping policy. This field is always returned with all shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo |
ShippingProfileDiscountInfo | Conditionally |
Container consisting of flat-rate or calculated shipping discount profile IDs (that identify the shipping discount rules to apply when domestic and/or international buyers purchase multiple items), as well as flags indicating if promotional shipping discounts are offered to domestic and/or international buyers. Shipping discounts can be created by the seller through My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles call of the Trading API. If shipping discounts are used for a shipping policy, this container is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .applyDomesticPromoShippingProfile |
boolean | Conditionally |
If this field is included and set to 'true', a domestic buyer will be the recipient of the seller's promotional shipping discount (if that buyer satisfies the buying requirements). The seller can create a promotional shipping rule on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles call of the Trading API.
See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .applyIntlPromoShippingProfile |
boolean | Conditionally |
If this field is included and set to 'true', an international buyer will be the recipient of the seller's promotional shipping discount (if that buyer satisfies the buying requirements). The seller can create a promotional shipping rule on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles call of the Trading API.
See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .domesticFlatCalcDiscountProfileId |
long | Conditionally |
Unique identifier for a flat-rate or calculated shipping rule defined by the seller. If the seller specifies a valid shipping discount profile ID for either of these shipping rules, a domestic buyer may receive a shipping discount from the seller when purchasing multiple items. The seller can create and manage shipping discount profiles on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles and GetShippingDiscountProfiles calls of the Trading API. The type of shipping discount profile specified in this field (flat-rate or calculated) should correspond to the domesticShippingType ('Flat' or 'Calculated') value in the shipping policy. Shipping discount profiles are not applicable when Freight shipping is used. See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shippingProfileDiscountInfo .intlFlatCalcDiscountProfileId |
long | Conditionally |
Unique identifier for a flat-rate or calculated shipping rule defined by the seller. If the seller specifies a valid shipping discount profile ID for either of these shipping rules, an international buyer may receive a shipping discount from the seller when purchasing multiple items. The seller can create and manage shipping discount profiles on My eBay, or by using the SetShippingDiscountProfiles and GetShippingDiscountProfiles calls of the Trading API. The type of shipping discount profile specified in this field (flat-rate or calculated) should correspond to the intlShippingType ('Flat' or 'Calculated') value in the shipping policy. Shipping discount profiles are not applicable when Freight shipping is used. See:
|
|
shippingPolicyProfile .shippingPolicyInfo .shipToLocations |
token | Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] |
An international region (such as Asia, Europe, or Latin America) or country (represented by two-letter country code) to where the seller will ship an item. It is not necessary to include the shipToLocation field in the domesticShippingPolicyInfoService container when using the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls. However, eBay automatically adds the seller's listing county as a 'Ship-To Location', and the shipToLocation field is always returned for each shipping policy in the addSellerProfile, setSellerProfile, and getSellerProfiles calls. If the seller does want to offer international shipping as part of the shipping policy, 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. Each specified ship-to location is returned with shipping policies returned in the getSellerProfiles, addSellerProfile, or setSellerProfile calls. |
| shippingPolicyProfile.siteId | int | Always | Unique identifier of the eBay site. This value is always returned in the getSellerProfiles call. It is optional in the addSellerProfile and setSellerProfile calls. If it is not used in an addSellerProfile or setSellerProfile call, the siteId value defaults to the seller's eBay registration site. |

| errorMessage.error.severity | ErrorSeverity | 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, resend 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. Applicable values: Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list. |
| errorMessage.error.subdomain | string | Conditionally | Name of the subdomain in which the error occurred. |
| timestamp | dateTime | Always | This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). |
