Enumeration Values

Value Description
AuthorizedSellerOnly If set to true, returns only items listed by authorized sellers
AvailableTo Limits items to those available to the specified country only. Item filter LocatedIn cannot be used together with item filter AvailableTo.

Allowed values (string):
Expects the two-letter ISO 3166 country code to indicate the country where the item is located. For English names that correspond to each code (e.g., KY="Cayman Islands"), see the ISO site:
ISO 3166 COUNTRY CODES.

BestOfferOnly If true, the search results are limited to only items that have Best Offer enabled. Default is false.

Allowed values (boolean):
true, false

CharityOnly If true, the search results are limited to items for which all or part of the proceeds are given to a charity. Each item in the search results will include the ID of the given charity. Default is false.

Allowed values (boolean):
true, false

Condition Limits items to those that have the matching item condition. The order of the results depends on the sortOrder you specify (not ordered by conditions).

Mostly useful to filter items where the seller used one of eBay's structured item condition formats (conditionId or item specifics) to specify the item condition. If the seller used item specifics, the condition is only returned in conditionDisplayName. As of July 2010, many categories require items to use the condition ID format. Older GTC listings may continue to use item specifics to specify condition until spring 2011.

If you repeat condition values, the values are processed using OR logic. For example:
To precisely find only brand new and manufacturer-refurbished items, pass the filter with values of 1000 and 2000 in the same request.
To find all flavors of new items plus refurbished items (but not used items), pass the filter with values of New, 2000, and 2500.
To find a much broader set of new items, plus items with no condition specified, pass the filter with values of New and Unspecified.
(The order of the values does not affect the results. That is, passing New, 2000, and then 2500 gives the same results as passing 2000, New, and then 2500.)

Allowed text values (string):
These text values (except Unspecified) limit results to items with the condition defined in conditionId or item specifics.

New
New (or the equivalent). Excludes items with used, refurbished, for parts, or unspecified conditions.
Used
Used, refurbished, or for parts. Excludes items with new or unspecified conditions.
Unspecified
The seller did not specify an item condition using one of eBay's structured formats. That is, either the item has no condition, or the seller only specified the condition in the title or narrative description. (You can try including words like "new" in your search keywords to reduce unspecified results. In this case, if you're using findItemsAdvanced, you can also try setting descriptionSearch to true to find items with the condition value in the description.) Excludes items that the seller listed as new, used, refurbished, for parts, or the equivalent.

Allowed ID values (string):
These IDs limit results to items with the condition defined in conditionId.

For details about the meaning of each condition, see Item Condition IDs and Names. More importantly, always see the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections before purchasing an item.
