Several International fields were added to the ReturnPolicy container. These fields let sellers specify international return policies that differ from their domestic return policies (international returns are those that are shipped using an international shipping service).
Before this release, the single set of return policy fields represented the seller's return policies for both domestic and international returns. The preexisting return policy fields now define a seller's domestic return policy and the new international fields enable sellers to also define specific international return policies. (If a seller does not define specific international return policies, then any international returns will inherit the seller's domestic return policies).
This section describes logical or functional changes that have been made to existing functionality, including new code list values and/or changes in validation rules.
This release launches a reorganization to eBay's return policies. To streamline the number of return variations, several fields were deprecated and others were added to make return policies simple to create and easy to maintain. For details on this roll out, see the Spring 2018 Seller Announcement, Simplified Returns.
Starting with this release, sellers can no longer specify warranty information, restocking fees, or hours for extended holiday returns with their return policies. With this, the following ReturnPolicy fields are deprecated with this release; any values supplied to these fields will neither be read nor returned:
ReturnPolicy.RestockingFeeValueReturnPolicy.RestockingFeeValueOptionReturnPolicy.WarrantyDurationReturnPolicy.WarrantyOfferedReturnPolicy.WarrantyTypeSimplified returns changes the following functionality within the ReturnPolicy container in this release:
MoneyBack for all eBay marketplaces except for the US marketplace (on EBAY_US, you can also set this to MoneyBackOrReplacement). The value MoneyBackOrExchange is retired. While currently accepted for existing policies, this value is now mapped to MoneyBackOrReplacement for domestic return policies, and the value is ignored in international return policies.Call GetCategoryFeatures with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails to review which categories allow a 14-day return period. (GetCategoryFeatures will be updated in July 2018 with the return period values supported by each category, including the categories that support a 14-day return period.)
ReturnsAccepted in either the domestic or international return policy. Valid values for this field are Buyer and Seller.This section lists additional documentation changes and corrections that were made with this release and that are not already mentioned in New Features - 1063 and Changed Functionality - 1063.
