eBay sends an ItemListed notification to third parties subscribed on the seller's behalf whenever a seller lists or relists an item. The typical flow of events is:

  1. A third party subscribes to the ItemListed notification on behalf of a seller.
  2. The seller lists or relists an item.
  3. eBay sends the ItemListed notification to the third party, indicating the item was just listed.

eBay also sends ItemListed notifications to the third party for all items the seller lists, either through the eBay sites or programatically from an API or SDK.

The maximum number of ItemListed notifications eBay can send is one for each item a subscribed application is monitoring.

Data Fields Returned

API Call that displays this notification: GetItem with default detail level

The data fields returned by the ItemListed notificationare the same as those returned by GetItem with default details requested. Refer to the GetItem call reference documentation for additional information.

Refer to SOAP Message Body for information about the standard elements returned for all notifications.

Example

In this example, seller M********r is notified that the item, a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," has successfully been listed on eBay.
