PaymentPolicyRequest

categoryTypes

array of CategoryType

This container is used to specify whether the payment business policy applies to motor vehicle listings, or if it applies to non-motor vehicle listings.

deposit

This container is used if the seller wants to require an initial deposit on a motor vehicle listing. In this container, the seller sets the deposit amount and the due date for the deposit.

Because eBay controls all electronic payment methods, sellers do not need to specify a payment method and the deposit.paymentMethods array is not needed.

Note: The 'due date' specified in the deposit container will be overridden if the payment business policy requires immediate payment (in this case, for the deposit), and the buyer commits to purchase the motor vehicle through a fixed-price listing or through the 'Buy it Now' option of an auction listing.

description

A seller-defined description of the payment business policy. This description is only for the seller's use, and is not exposed on any eBay pages.

Max length: 250

fullPaymentDueIn

This container is used to specify the number of days that a buyer has to make their full payment to the seller and close the remaining balance on a motor vehicle transaction. This container must be specified for motor vehicles listings.

The period starts when the buyer commits to buy. The valid values, as specified with TimeDuration, are:

• 3 DAYS
• 7 DAYS (the default)
• 10 DAYS
• 14 DAYS

In order for a buyer to make a full payment on a motor vehicle, at least one of the following paymentMethods values must be specified for the corresponding payment business policy:

• CASH_ON_PICKUP
• CASHIER_CHECK
• MONEY_ORDER
• PERSONAL_CHECK

Default: 7 DAYS

A free-form string field that allows sellers to add detailed payment instructions to their listings.
