POST/offer/get_listing_fees
This call is used to retrieve the expected listing fees for up to 250 unpublished offers. An array of one or more offerId values are passed in under the offers container.
In the response payload, all listing fees are grouped by eBay marketplace, and listing fees per offer are not shown. A fees container will be returned for each eBay marketplace where the seller is selling the products associated with the specified offers.
Errors will occur if the seller passes in offerIds that represent published offers, so this call should be made before the seller publishes offers with the publishOffer.
