compliance API1.2.0

getListingViolations

GET

/listing_violation

This call returns specific listing violations for five different compliance types. Only one compliance type can be passed in per call, and the response will include all the listing violations for this compliance type, and are grouped together by eBay listing ID. See ComplianceTypeEnum for more information on the five different compliance types. This method also has pagination control.

Note: A maximum of 2000 listing violations will be returned in a result set. If the seller has more than 2000 listing violations, some/all of those listing violations must be corrected before additional listing violations will be retrieved. The user should pay attention to the total value in the response. If this value is '2000', it is possible that the seller has more than 2000 listing violations, but this field maxes out at 2000.

Note: In a future release of this API, the seller will be able to pass in a specific eBay listing ID as a query parameter to see if this specific listing has any violations.

Note: Only a canned response for this call will be returned in the Sandbox environment, so the non-compliant listing data will not be specific to the seller.

URI parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
limit	integer	This query parameter is used if the user wants to set a limit on the number of listing violations that are returned in the current result set. This parameter is used in conjunction with the offset parameter to control the pagination of the output. For example, if offset is set to `10` and limit is set to `10`, the call retrieves listing violations 11 thru 20 from the collection of listing violations that match the value set in the compliance_type parameter. Note: This feature employs a zero-based list, where the first item in the list has an offset of `0`. If the listing_id parameter is included in the request, this parameter will be ignored. Default: `100` Maximum: `200` Occurrence: Optional
listing_id	string	Note: This query parameter is not yet supported for the Compliance API. Please not that until this query parameter becomes available, the compliance_type query parameter is required with each getListingViolations call. This query parameter is used if the user wants to view all listing violations for one or more eBay listings. The string value passed into this field is the unique identifier of the listing, sometimes referred to as the Item ID. Either the listing_id or a compliance_type query parameter must be used, and if the seller only wants to view listing violations of a specific compliance type, both of these parameters can be used. Up to 50 listing IDs can be specified with this query parameter, and each unique listing ID is separated with a comma. Occurrence: Conditional
offset	integer	The first policy violation to return based on its position in the collection of listing violations. Use this parameter in conjunction with the limit parameter to control the pagination of the output. For example, if offset is set to `10` and limit is set to `10`, the call retrieves listing violations 11 thru 20 from the resulting collection of listing violations. Note: This feature employs a zero-based list, where the first item in the list has an offset of `0`. If the listing_id parameter is included in the request, this parameter will be ignored. Default: `0` {zero) Occurrence: Optional
compliance_type	string	A seller uses this query parameter to retrieve listing violations of a specific compliance type. Only one compliance type value should be passed in here. See ComplianceTypeEnum for more information on the compliance types that can be passed in here. If the listing_id query parameter is used, the compliance_type query parameter {if passed in) will be ignored. This is because all of a listing's policy violations {each compliance type) will be returned if a listing_id is provided. Either the listing_id or a compliance_type query parameter must be used, and if the seller only wants to view listing violations of a specific compliance type, both of these parameters can be used. Note: The listing_id query parameter is not yet available for use, so the seller does not have the ability to retrieve listing violations for one or more specific listings. Until the listing_id query parameter becomes available, the compliance_type query parameter is required with each getListingViolations call. Occurrence: Conditional

Response fields

Output container/field	Type	Description
offset	integer	The distance {number of records) from the first policy violation in the collection to the first policy violation in this result set. In the call request, you can use the offset parameter in conjunction with the limit parameter to control the pagination of the output. For example, if offset is set to `30` and limit is set to `10`, the call retrieves policy violations 31 thru 40 from the resulting collection of policy violations. Note: This feature employs a zero-based list, where the first item in the list has an offset of `0`. Default: `0` {zero) Occurrence: Conditional
href	string	The URI of the getListingViolations call request that produced the current page of the result set. Occurrence: Conditional
total	integer	The total number of policy violations in the result set. Note: If no policy violations are found, this field is returned with a value of `0`. Occurrence: Conditional

Sample 2: Get HTTP Violations

Sample 3: Get 'Outside eBay' Violations

Sample 4: Get 'Returns Policy' Violations

Sample 5: Get 'Product Adoption Conformance' Violations

Sample 1: Get Product Adoption Violations

This seller wants to see which active listings (and which variations within a multiple-variation listing) are currently violating the product adoption requirement.

Input

In the call URI, the seller passes in the required compliance_type query parameter, and sets the value of the parameter to PRODUCT_ADOPTION.

GET

https://api.ebay.com/sell/compliance/v1/listing_violation?compliance_type=PRODUCT_ADOPTION

Output

The call response payload groups violations by listing ID. Each violation has a reasonCode and a message field which provides more information about the violation. For multiple-variation listings with one or more violations, specific variations within the listing are identified through the variation.variationAspects container. If eBay is able to locate a possible eBay Catalog product match for the listing or variation based on product details, a correctiveRecommendations.productRecommendation container is returned with the ePID value of the possible catalog product match. The seller can verify if the catalog product is the right match by calling getProduct of the Catalog API to get full details on the eBay Catalog product.

Based on the type of violation, the seller will have to revise these listings using the createOrReplaceInventoryItem call of the Inventory API, or the ReviseItemReviseFixedPriceItem call of the Trading API.

Sample 2: Get HTTP Violations

This seller wants to see which active listings are currently violating eBay's policy of having 'HTTP' links instead of 'HTTPS'.

Input

In the call URI, the seller passes in the required compliance_type query parameter, and sets the value of the parameter to HTTPS.

GET

https://api.ebay.com/sell/compliance/v1/listing_violation?compliance_type=HTTPS

Output

The call response payload groups violations by listing ID. Each violation has a reasonCode and a message field which provides more information about the violation.

The seller will have to revise these listings, removing or correcting all 'HTTP' links using the createOrReplaceInventoryItem call of the Inventory API, or the ReviseItemReviseFixedPriceItem call of the Trading API. Note that many webites/servers support both the 'HTTP' and 'HTTPS' protocols, so the seller may just need to update the link (from 'http' to 'https'), but it the referenced website/server does not support the 'HTTPS' protocol, that link will have to be removed from the listing.

Sample 4: Get 'Returns Policy' Violations

This seller wants to see which active listings have return periods that are no longer supported for the site/category.

Input

In the call URI, the seller passes in the required compliance_type query parameter, and sets the value of the parameter to RETURNS_POLICY. In this particular sample, the seller wants to limit the number of violations returned per page of data to five, starting with the first violation in the results set. To enable this, the seller includes the offset query parameter and sets its value to 0, and includes the limit query parameter and sets its value to 5

GET

https://api.ebay.com/sell/compliance/v1/listing_violation?compliance_type=RETURNS_POLICY&offset=0&limit=5

Output

The call response payload groups violations by listing ID. Each violation has a reasonCode and a message field which provides more information about the violation.

The seller will have to revise these listings, updating the return period to a value that is supported for the site/category.

Note that only five listing violations are returned in the sample, but there are actual 10 listing violations of this compliance type. If the seller wanted to get the next page of data (and remaining five listing violations), he/she could just grab the call URI that is in the next field and run the operation again.

Sample 5: Get 'Product Adoption Conformance' Violations

This seller wants to see which product-based listings are out of synch with the associated eBay catalog product and/or which listings are associated with the wrong eBay catalog product.

Input

In the call URI, the seller passes in the required compliance_type query parameter, and sets the value of the parameter to PRODUCT_ADOPTION_CONFORMANCE.

GET

https://api.ebay.com/sell/compliance/v1/listing_violation?compliance_type=PRODUCT_ADOPTION_CONFORMANCE

Output

The call response payload groups violations by listing ID. Each violation has a reasonCode and a message field which provides more information about the violation. There are actual four different variations of product adoption conformance violations, so each listing can have more than one violation.

Based on the reason code and associated message, the seller will have to revise these listings to either synch the listing up with the associated catalog product, or perhaps change the catalog product that the listing is associated with.
