What should I do with the legacy
tag
CheckoutDetailsSpecified
?
Summary
It is a product limitation that AddItem returns the legacy tag
CheckoutDetailsSpecified
if the ShippingDetails container does not have any ShippingService when it is
required. Please ignore this legacy tag and ensure that you have specified
atleast one ShippingService in your request.
Detailed Description
Lets take the example of the following AddItem request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AddItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<Version>485</Version>
<Item>
<Quantity>1</Quantity>
<Currency>USD</Currency>
<StartPrice>1</StartPrice>
<ListingDuration>Days_7</ListingDuration>
<Site>US</Site>
<Country>US</Country>
<PrimaryCategory>
<CategoryID>1411</CategoryID>
</PrimaryCategory>
<Location>san jose</Location>
<ShippingDetails>
<SalesTax>
<SalesTaxPercent>7</SalesTaxPercent>
<SalesTaxState>GA</SalesTaxState>
<ShippingIncludedInTax>false</ShippingIncludedInTax>
</SalesTax>
<ShippingType>Flat</ShippingType>
<ApplyShippingDiscount>True</ApplyShippingDiscount>
</ShippingDetails>
<Title>test</Title>
<Description>test</Description>
</Item>
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>*****</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
</AddItemRequest>
To specify sales tax, you must list the item with atleast one valid
ShippingService, otherwise you will get this inconsistent shipping parameters
error. Similarly, if specify Insurance, you need to have atleast one
ShippingService.
