Sample 1: Retrieve details of a transfer
This call retrieves details of a specific transfer, and the charges related to that transfer.
Input
The seller passes in the unique identifier of the transfer at the end of the call URI. There are no other parameters for this method.
GEThttps://apiz.ebay.com/sell/finances/v1/transfer/5********5
Output
The output of the call shows that the transfer amount is $123.00, and this amount will be debited to the seller's Visa credit card. If you look at the charges array, you see that there are four buyer-initiated cases and three third-party payment disputes that are a part of this transfer.
Although this particular transfer involves a $123.00 debit to the seller's Visa credit card, the seller actually owes a balance of $467.12 (shown in the totalChargeNetAmount container) to eBay for the four cases and three payment disputes. Subtracting $123.00 from $467.12, the seller still owes eBay a balance of $344.12 (shown in the balanceAdjustment container).
