ListingStatus ( ListingStatusCodeType ) [0..1]
Specifies an active or ended listing's status in eBay's processing workflow. If a listing ends with a sale (or sales), eBay needs to update the sale details (e.g., total price and buyer/high bidder) and the transaction fees. This processing can take several minutes. If you retrieve a sold item and no details about the buyer/high bidder are returned or no transaction fees are available, use this listing status information to determine whether eBay has finished processing the listing.
Note: For GetMyMessages, the listing status reflects the status of the listing at the time the question was created. The listing status for this call must not match the listing status returned by other calls (such as GetItemTransactions). This is returned only if Messages.Message.MessageType is AskSellerQuestion. This tag is no longer returned in the Sandbox environment.
