Why does GetSellerTransactions return the same transaction for more than 1 time period?
Summary
The transactions that are returned by GetSellerTransactions
depend on whether the last time they were modifed fall in the ModTime filter.
It is possible for a transaction to be modified at different time periods and
cause it to show up multiple times in the response with the current state of the
transaction. The intention of this design is to help you keep track of changes to the state of the
transaction.
Item1 is purchased on Nov 14th 2006, 4:00 pm GMT, but no payment is made as yet.
You make a call to GetSellerTransactions with the following ModTimeFilter at
2006-11-15T01:00:00.000Z :
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetSellerTransactionsRequest
xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<ModTimeFrom>2006-11-14T00:00:00.000Z</ModTimeFrom>
<ModTimeTo>2006-11-15T00:00:00.000Z</ModTimeTo>
<Version>485</Version>
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>*****</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
</GetSellerTransactionsRequest>
The transaction for this item will be returned since the
LastTimeModified is
2006-11-14T16:00:00.000Z with the following Status:<Status>
<Status>
<eBayPaymentStatus>NoPaymentFailure</eBayPaymentStatus>
<CheckoutStatus>CheckoutIncomplete</CheckoutStatus>
<LastTimeModified>2006-11-14T16:00:00.000Z</LastTimeModified>
<PaymentMethodUsed>None</PaymentMethodUsed>
<CompleteStatus>Incomplete</CompleteStatus>
<BuyerSelectedShipping>false</BuyerSelectedShipping>
</Status>
Subsequently, after getting the necessary details from the seller, the buyer completes checkout and pays for it on Nov 15th 2006 3:00 GMT
LastTimeModified for the transaction now becomes 2006-11-15T15:00:00.000Z
Now you make a call to
GetSellerTransactions with the following ModTimeFilter :
<ModTimeFrom>2006-11-15T00:00:00.000Z</ModTimeFrom>
<ModTimeTo>2006-11-16T00:00:00.000Z</ModTimeTo>
Since the
LastTimeModified falls in
the ModTime filter range, the transaction is returned in this call also with the
following status:
<Status>
<eBayPaymentStatus>NoPaymentFailure</eBayPaymentStatus>
<CheckoutStatus>CheckoutComplete</CheckoutStatus>
<LastTimeModified>2006-11-16T15:00:00.000Z</LastTimeModified>
<PaymentMethodUsed>PayPal</PaymentMethodUsed>
<CompleteStatus>Complete</CompleteStatus>
<BuyerSelectedShipping>true</BuyerSelectedShipping>
</Status>
It will no longer be returned for the following filter:
<ModTimeFrom>2006-11-14T00:00:00.000Z</ModTimeFrom>
<ModTimeTo>2006-11-15T00:00:00.000Z</ModTimeTo>
When designing your application, you need to account for this to happen and build your application accordingly.
