eBay Trading APIVersion 1423

GetItemShipping

Use this call to retrieve the shipping cost estimates for every calculated shipping service that the seller has offered with an item listing. This is analogous to the Shipping Calculator seen in both the buyer and seller web pages.

GetItemShipping is another way for a buyer or seller to obtain shipping cost information for an existing item. The caller can be either the buyer or seller and the call can be made at any point in the life of the listing, either before or after a buyer has committed to purchasing the item(s).

This call enables the user to determine the costs associated with a particular shipping service for an item shipped to a specific postal code.

Be aware that it's possible for a seller to offer a shipping service which turns out to be a mismatch in some way with the item(s) being shipped. For example, if a buyer purchases more than one of an item, the weight might be too great for First Class mail. In such a case, GetItemShipping will omit that shipping service from the response.

Usage Details

GetItemShipping retrieves shipping costs for an item based on the postal code to which the seller is shipping (or may ship) the item. Specify the destination postal code in the DestinationPostalCode property. Identify the item for which to retrieve shipping costs in the ItemID property. (The seller's postal code is automatically extracted from the data associated with this item to provide the from and to locations in calculating the shipping costs.)

If the item has already sold, specify the number of items the buyer purchased from the listing in the QuantitySold property. The quantity sold is used with the final item price the buyer paid to calculate insurance fees. The final price is retrieved automatically from the data associated with the item specified in the ItemID property.

Testing GetItemShipping

You can test GetItemShipping in the Sandbox. GetItemShipping may be called at any time during the life span of an auction; either before or after a buyer has committed to purchasing the item(s). With this, you must have an item listed in the Sandbox environment before you can test GetItemShipping.

For a complete test suite, consider creating several items that represent combinations of details. For example, create:

  • A multiple-item or multiple-lot listing. For example, create a listing that contains 50 available items and have several buyers make bids for more than 1 item each.
  • A listing that has not yet ended (no purchases yet).
  • A listing that has ended with a purchase.
  • A listing that uses flat shipping. Review any additional costs for each item bought beyond the first (if this is a multiple-item listing).
  • A listing that uses calculated shipping. Review any additional costs for packaging and handling.
  • Listings where no shipping services are offered verses listings with multiple domestic shipping services versus listings that offer both domestic and international shipping services.

Argument Type Occurrence Meaning
Call-specific Input Fields [Jump to standard fields]
DestinationCountryCode CountryCodeType Conditional The destination country code is supplied in this field. GetItemShipping requires the destination of the shipment. Some countries will require both the DestinationPostalCode and the DestinationCountryCode, and some countries will accept either one or the other.

Two-digit country codes can be found in CountryCodeType.

Default: US.

Applicable values: See DestinationCountryCode.
DestinationPostalCode string Conditional The destination postal code (or zip code for US) is supplied in this field. GetItemShipping requires the destination of the shipment. Some countries will require both the DestinationPostalCode and the DestinationCountryCode, and some countries will accept either one or the other.
ItemID ItemIDType (string) Required The unique identifier of the eBay listing for which to retrieve estimated shipping costs for all offered shipping service options. The ItemID value passed into this field should be for an listing that offers at least one calculated shipping service option, and for an item that has yet to be shipped.
QuantitySold int Optional This field is used to specify the quantity of the item. The QuantitySold value defaults to 1 if not specified. If a value greater than 1 is specified in this field, the shipping service costs returned in the response will reflect the expense to ship multiple quantity of an item.

Max: Quantity available in the listing. Default: 1.
Standard Input Fields
ErrorLanguage string Optional Use ErrorLanguage to return error strings for the call in a different language from the language commonly associated with the site that the requesting user is registered with. Below are some examples from different countries.

ID Country
en_AU Australia
de_AT Austria
nl_BE Belgium (Dutch)
fr_BE Belgium (French)
en_CA Canada
fr_CA Canada (French)
zh_CN China
fr_FR France
de_DE Germany
zh_HK Hong Kong
en_IN India
en_IE Ireland
it_IT Italy
nl_NL Netherlands
en_SG Singapore
es_ES Spain
de_CH Switzerland
en_GB United Kingdom
en_US United States
MessageID string Optional Most Trading API calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass in a MessageID in a request, the same value will be returned in the CorrelationID field in the response. Pairing these values can help you track and confirm that a response is returned for every request and to match specific responses to specific requests. If you do not pass a MessageID value in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note: GetCategories is designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.
OutputSelector string Optional,
repeatable: [0..*]		 You can use the OutputSelector field to restrict the data returned by a call. This field can make the call response easier to manage, especially when a large payload is returned. If you use the OutputSelector field, the output data will only include the field(s) you specified in the request, as well as all of its child fields (if a field is a container) and its parent fields (if any). Note that it is possible that a field included through an OutputSelector field may still not be returned if it is not applicable, or if it is not found based on other criteria set up in the request payload.

For example, if you are using GetItem and you only want to retrieve the URL of the View Item page (emitted in ViewItemURL field) and the item's Buy It Now price (emitted in BuyItNowPrice field), you would include two separate OutputSelector fields and set the value for each one as ViewItemURL and BuyItNowPrice as in the following example: 

 If the following output selectors are used: 

...
 <OutputSelector>ViewItemURL</OutputSelector>
 <OutputSelector>BuyItNowPrice</OutputSelector> 
... 

 ...the response might look like the following 

  <Item>
 <BuyItNowPrice currencyID="USD">0.0</BuyItNowPrice>
 <ListingDetails>
 <ViewItemURL>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tag-Heuer-Mens-Watch/182879833261</ViewItemURL>
 </ListingDetails>
 </Item>

See OutputSelector.
Version string Conditional The version number of the API code that you are programming against (e.g., 1149). The version you specify for a call has these basic effects:
  • It indicates the version of the code lists and other data that eBay should use to process your request.
  • It indicates the schema version you are using.
You need to use a version that is greater than or equal to the lowest supported version.
For the SOAP API: If you are using the SOAP API, this field is required. Specify the version of the WSDL your application is using.

For the XML API: If you are using the XML API, this field has no effect. Instead, specify the version in the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL HTTP header. (If you specify Version in the body of an XML API request and it is different from the value in the HTTP header, eBay returns an informational warning that the value in the HTTP header was used instead.)

See:
HTTP headers
eBay Schema Versioning Strategy
Lowest Supported Version

WarningLevel WarningLevelCodeType Optional Controls whether or not to return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request.

An unrecognized element is one that is not defined in any supported version of the schema. Schema element names are case-sensitive, so using WarningLevel can also help you remove any potential hidden bugs within your application due to incorrect case or spelling in field names before you put your application into the Production environment.

WarningLevel only validates elements; it doesn't validate XML attributes. It also doesn't control warnings related to user-entered strings or numbers, or warnings for logical errors.

We recommend that you only use this during development and debugging. Do not use this in requests performed in the Production environment.

Applicable values:

High
(in) The WarningLevel value is set to High if the user wishes to receive warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in an API call request. Setting the WarningLevel value to High is not recommended in a production environment. Instead, it should only be used during the development/debugging stage.
Low
(in) The WarningLevel value is set to Low if the user does not wish to receive warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in an API call request. This is the default value if WarningLevel is not specified in the call request.

See Warning Level.

Return Value Type Occurrence Meaning
Call-specific Output Fields [Jump to standard fields]
PickUpInStoreDetails PickupInStoreDetailsType Conditionally This container is only returned in GetItemShipping if the In-Store Pickup feature is enabled for the listing. In-Store Pickup as a fulfillment method is only available to a limited number of large retail merchants in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia marketplaces. The In-Store Pickup feature can only be applied to multiple-quantity, fixed-price listings, and the merchant must have quantity of the item available in a store that is near the prospective buyer, in order for In-Store Pickup to be an available fulfillment option for that buyer.
PickUpInStoreDetails
.EligibleForPickupDropOff boolean Conditionally For sellers opted in to Click and Collect, this field was once used to set Click and Collect eligibility at the listing level. However, now the seller can only opt in to Click and Collect at the account level, and then each of their listings will be automatically evaluated by eBay for Click and Collect eligibility.

Note: Until this field is fully deprecated in the Trading WSDL (and in Add/Revise/Relist/Verify calls), it can still be used, but it will have no functional affect. However, if set in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, it will get returned in GetItem, but it won't be a true indicator if the item is actually available for the Click and Collect fulfillment method. Instead, the Item.AvailableForPickupDropOff field should be referenced to see if the listing actually has inventory that is available for pickup via the Click and Collect fulfillment method.
PickUpInStoreDetails
.EligibleForPickupInStore boolean Conditionally For Add/Revise/Relist/Verify calls: this field is included to enable the listing for In-Store Pickup. To enable the listing for In-Store Pickup, the seller includes this boolean field and sets its value to true. In-Store Pickup as a fulfillment method is only available to a limited number of large retail merchants in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia marketplaces. The In-Store Pickup feature can only be applied to multiple-quantity, fixed-price listings.

In addition to setting the EligibleForPickupInStore boolean field to true, the merchant must also perform the following actions in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call to enable the In-Store Pickup option on a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing:
  • Have inventory for the product at one or more physical stores tied to the seller's account. By using the REST-based Inventory API, sellers can associate physical stores to their account by using the Create Inventory Location call, and then, using the Create Inventory Item call, they can add inventory to specific stores;
  • Include the seller-defined SKU value of the product(s) in the call request. For a single-variation listing, the SKU value would be specified in the Item.SKU field, and for a multiple-variation listing, the SKU value(s) would be specified in the Item.Variations.Variation.SKU field(s);
  • Set an immediate payment requirement on the item.
When a seller is successful at listing an item with the In-Store Pickup feature enabled, prospective buyers within a reasonable distance (25 miles or so) from one of the seller's stores (that has stock available) will see the "Available for In-Store Pickup" option on the listing, along with information on the closest store that has the item.

This field is returned in the 'Get' calls if the listing is enabled with the In-Store Pickup feature.
ShippingDetails ShippingDetailsType Always This container will be returned if at least one domestic or international shipping service option is available for the item. A ShippingServiceOptions (for domestic shipping) and/or an InternationalShippingServiceOptions container (for international shipping) is returned for each available calculated shipping service option. These shipping service option containers consists of estimated shipping cost and estimated shipping times.

Any error about shipping services (returned by a vendor of eBay's who calculates shipping costs) is returned in ShippingRateErrorMessage. Errors from a shipping service are likely to be related to issues with shipping specifications, such as package size and the selected shipping method not supported by a particular shipping service.
ShippingDetails
.CalculatedShippingRate CalculatedShippingRateType Conditionally Details pertinent to one or more items for which calculated shipping has been offered by the seller, such as package dimension and weight and packaging/handling costs. If your call specifies a large-dimension item listed with UPS, see Dimensional Weight limit on UPS shipping services results in failure of shipping calculator.

Note: The CalculatedShippingRate container should only be used to specify values for the InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts and/or PackagingHandlingCosts fields. The rest of the fields in the CalculatedShippingRate container are used to specify package dimensions and package weight, and these values should now be specified in the ShippingPackageDetails container instead.
ShippingDetails
.CalculatedShippingRate
.InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts AmountType (double) Conditionally This field shows any package handling cost applied to international shipping. This cost will be in addition to any shipping cost applicable to each international shipping service option.

For international calculated shipping only.
ShippingDetails
.CalculatedShippingRate
.InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally This field shows any package handling cost applied to international shipping. This cost will be in addition to any shipping cost applicable to each international shipping service option.

For international calculated shipping only.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.CalculatedShippingRate
.PackagingHandlingCosts AmountType (double) Conditionally Fees a seller might assess for the shipping of the item (in addition to whatever the shipping service might charge). Any packaging/handling cost specified on input is added to each shipping service on output.

If domestic and international calculated shipping is offered for an item and if packaging/handling cost is specified only for domestic shipping, that cost will be applied by eBay as the international packaging/handling cost. (To specify a international packaging/handling cost, you must always specify a domestic packaging/handling cost, even if it is 0.) When UPS is one of the shipping services offered by the seller, package dimensions are required on list/relist/revise.
Note: If the listing only has one domestic shipping service and it is free shipping, the domestic package handling cost will be ignored and will not be applied to the listing.
ShippingDetails
.CalculatedShippingRate
.PackagingHandlingCosts
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally Fees a seller might assess for the shipping of the item (in addition to whatever the shipping service might charge). Any packaging/handling cost specified on input is added to each shipping service on output.

If domestic and international calculated shipping is offered for an item and if packaging/handling cost is specified only for domestic shipping, that cost will be applied by eBay as the international packaging/handling cost. (To specify a international packaging/handling cost, you must always specify a domestic packaging/handling cost, even if it is 0.) When UPS is one of the shipping services offered by the seller, package dimensions are required on list/relist/revise.
Note: If the listing only has one domestic shipping service and it is free shipping, the domestic package handling cost will be ignored and will not be applied to the listing.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.ChangePaymentInstructions boolean Conditionally Indicates whether the seller specified payment and shipping instructions during checkout.
Note: This field is deprecated and will stop being returned in GetItemTransactions and GetSellerTransactions on January 31, 2024.
ShippingDetails
.ExcludeShipToLocation string Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] Use this field in an Add/Revise/Relist call to specify an international country or region, or a special domestic location, such as 'PO Box' (in US) or 'Packstation' (in DE), to where you will not ship the associated item. Repeat this element in the call request for each location that you want to exclude as a shipping destination for your item.

The exclude ship-to location values are eBay regions and countries. To see the valid exclude ship-to locations for a specified site, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ExcludeShippingLocationDetails, and then look for the ExcludeShippingLocationDetails.Location fields in the response. Repeat GeteBayDetails for each site on which you list.

This field works in conjunction with Item.ShipToLocations to create a set of international countries and regions to where you will, and will not, ship. You can list a region in the ShipToLocations field, then exclude specific countries within that region with this field (for example, you can specify Africa in ShipToLocations, yet exclude Chad with a ExcludeShipToLocation setting). In addition, if your ShipToLocations is Worldwide, you can use this field to specify both regions and countries that you want to exclude from your shipping destinations.

Note: The ShipToLocations and ShippingDetails.ExcludeShipToLocation containers are not applicable for motor vehicle listings on the US, CA, or UK marketplaces. If these containers are sent in the request, they are ignored and a warning is returned. Note: Any shipping exclusions specified by this field can be overridden by the eBay International Shipping exclusions toggle located under Shipping Preferences in My eBay. For more information on eBay International Shipping, see eBay International Shipping program.
You can specify a default set of locations to where you will not ship in My eBay. If you create an Exclude Ship-To List, it is, by default, in effect when you list items. However, if you specify any value in this field on input, it nullifies the default settings in your Exclude Ship-To List. (If you use ExcludeShipToLocation when you list an item, you will need to list all the locations to where you will not ship the associated item, regardless of the default settings in your Exclude Ship-To List.)

Specify none in this field to override the default Exclude Ship-To List you might have set up in My eBay and indicate that you do not want to exclude any shipping locations from the respective item listing.
Note: This field will stop being returned in GetItemTransactions and GetSellerTransactions responses on January 31, 2024.

Applicable values: See CountryCodeType, ShippingRegionCodeType
ShippingDetails.GetItFast boolean Conditionally
Note: This field is deprecated and will stop being returned in order management calls on January 31, 2024.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption InternationalShippingServiceOptionsType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] Shipping costs and options related to an international shipping service. If used, at least one domestic shipping service must also be provided in ShippingServiceOptions.

If you specify multiple InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes, the repeating nodes must be contiguous. That is, you cannot insert other nodes between InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes.

All specified domestic and international shipping services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated).

A seller can offer up to four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services. However, if the seller is opted in to the Global Shipping Program or eBay International Shipping, only four other international shipping services may be offered (regardless of whether or not Global Shipping or eBay International Shipping is offered for the listing).

If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit InternationalShippingServiceOption, eBay will drop the international shipping services (except the Global Shipping Program or eBay International Shipping) from the listing. This may also have unintended side effects, as other fields that depend on this data may be dropped as well. To retain the shipping services and dependent fields when you modify other shipping details, it may be simplest to specify all ShippingDetails that you still want to include in the listing.

For GetItemShipping, results are filtered: if any service is not available in the buyer's region, it is removed. If no services remain after this filtering, a warning is returned.

See Repeating (unbounded) fields for rules regarding repeating instances of a nodes (nodes for which maxOccurs is "unbounded" or is greater than 1).

ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ImportCharge AmountType (double) Conditionally The total cost of customs and taxes for the international leg of an order shipped using the Global Shipping Program. This amount is calculated and supplied for each item by the international shipping provider when a buyer views the item properties.
Min: 0.

.ImportCharge
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally The total cost of customs and taxes for the international leg of an order shipped using the Global Shipping Program. This amount is calculated and supplied for each item by the international shipping provider when a buyer views the item properties.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingService token Conditionally An international shipping service being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer. For a list of valid values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingServiceDetails.

To view the full list of International shipping service options in the response, look for the ShippingService fields in the ShippingServiceDetails containers that contain a InternationalService = true field, as this indicates that the ShippingService value is an International shipping service option.

The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must also be present. Otherwise, that particular shipping service option is no longer valid and cannot be offered to buyers through a listing.

For flat and calculated shipping.

See GeteBayDetails.



Applicable values: See ShippingServiceCodeType
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingServiceAdditionalCost AmountType (double) Conditionally The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingServiceAdditionalCost
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingServiceCost AmountType (double) Conditionally The base cost of shipping the item using the shipping service specified in the ShippingService field. In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field shows the cost to ship each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping.

If a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero. Otherwise, cost is not returned.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For GetItemShipping, promotional shipping savings is reflected in the cost, if applicable. If the promotional shipping option is lower than other shipping services being offered, the savings is reflected in the returned shipping cost. The shipping service named Promotional Shipping Service (or whatever is the localized name for it) is included among the shipping services. If the promotional shipping cost is lower than the cost of other shipping services being offered, it is presented first in the list. (The LOWEST shipping service cost is always presented first, regardless of whether there is promotional shipping.)

See https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/user-guides/static/trading-user-guide/shipping-types-rates.html.

ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingServiceCost
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally The base cost of shipping the item using the shipping service specified in the ShippingService field. In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field shows the cost to ship each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping.

If a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero. Otherwise, cost is not returned.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For GetItemShipping, promotional shipping savings is reflected in the cost, if applicable. If the promotional shipping option is lower than other shipping services being offered, the savings is reflected in the returned shipping cost. The shipping service named Promotional Shipping Service (or whatever is the localized name for it) is included among the shipping services. If the promotional shipping cost is lower than the cost of other shipping services being offered, it is presented first in the list. (The LOWEST shipping service cost is always presented first, regardless of whether there is promotional shipping.)

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingServiceCutOffTime dateTime Conditionally The last time of day that an order using the specified shipping service will be accepted by the seller. The cut off time applies and is returned only when the ShippingService field contains the name of a qualifying time-sensitive shipping service, such as eBayNowImmediateDelivery.

The cut off time is set by eBay and determined in part by the policies and locations of the seller and the shipping carrier.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShippingServicePriority int Conditionally This integer value controls the order (relative to other shipping services) in which the corresponding ShippingService will appear in the View Item and Checkout page. Sellers can specify up to five international shipping services (with five InternationalShippingServiceOption containers), so valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. A shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 1 appears at the top. Conversely, a shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 5 appears at the bottom of a list of five shipping service options. If the Global Shipping Program is enabled on the listing for international shipping, only four additional shipping services may be specified.

If this field is omitted from international shipping service options, the order of the shipping service options in View Item and Checkout pages will be determined by the order that these shipping service options are presented in the request payload of an Add/Revise/Relist call.
ShippingDetails
.InternationalShippingServiceOption
.ShipToLocation string Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] An international location or region to where the item seller will ship the item.

Use GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingLocationDetails to determine which locations are valid per site. In the GeteBayDetails response, look for the ShippingLocationDetails.ShippingLocation fields.

For the AddItem family of calls, this field is required if any international shipping service is specified.

For GetOrders and GetItemTransactions only: If using Trading WSDL Version 1019 or above, ShipToLocation fields will only be returned to the buyer or seller, and no longer returned at all to third parties. If using a Trading WSDL older than Version 1019, ShipToLocation fields are only returned to the buyer or seller, and a string value of Unavailable will be returned to all third parties.

See Shipping information.



Applicable values: See CountryCodeType, ShippingRegionCodeType
ShippingDetails.PaymentEdited boolean Conditionally Whether the seller allows the buyer to edit the payment amount for the order. (Sellers enable this property in their My eBay user preferences on the eBay site.)
ShippingDetails.SalesTax SalesTaxType Conditionally This container shows sales tax information for an item in a specific tax jurisdiction. The concept of 'sales tax' is only applicable to eBay US and Canada (English and French) sites.

This container can be used in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call to set sales tax settings for a specific tax jurisdiction, but it is actually a better practice if a user sets up sales tax rates through the Sales Tax Table tool in My eBay (or by using the SetTaxTable call). A seller's Sales Tax Table is applied to the listing by including the UseTaxTable field in the request and setting its value to true. The GetTaxTable call can be used to retrieve the current sales tax rates for different tax jurisdictions.

This container is only returned in order management 'Get' calls if sales tax is applicable to the order line item. For eBay Collect and Remit states, the sales tax information is displayed in the Transaction.Taxes container instead.

Note: Buyers in all 50 US states and DC are automatically charged sales tax for eBay purchases, and eBay collects and remits this sales tax to the proper taxing authority on the buyer's behalf. Because of this, if a sales tax percentage rate is applied to a listing by a seller in one of these states, this field will be ignored during the checkout process.

Currently, sales tax percentage rates can only be specified by sellers in Canada and 5 US territories, including American Samoa (AS), Guam (GU), Northern Mariana Islands (MP), Palau (PW), and Virgin Islands (VI).

See Multi-jurisdiction sales tax.

ShippingDetails.SalesTax
.SalesTaxAmount AmountType (double) Conditionally The amount of sales tax calculated for an order line item based on the sale price and the sales tax rate for the buyer's tax jurisdiction. For a multiple line item order, the SalesTaxAmount returned at the order level will be the cumulative amount for all line items in the order.

GetItemTransactions can return incorrect sales tax if the name of a state is not abbreviated (e.g. if the value is "Illinois" rather than "IL") in TransactionArray.Transaction.Buyer.BuyerInfo.ShippingAddress.StateOrProvince.
ShippingDetails.SalesTax
.SalesTaxAmount
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally The amount of sales tax calculated for an order line item based on the sale price and the sales tax rate for the buyer's tax jurisdiction. For a multiple line item order, the SalesTaxAmount returned at the order level will be the cumulative amount for all line items in the order.

GetItemTransactions can return incorrect sales tax if the name of a state is not abbreviated (e.g. if the value is "Illinois" rather than "IL") in TransactionArray.Transaction.Buyer.BuyerInfo.ShippingAddress.StateOrProvince.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails.SalesTax
.SalesTaxPercent float Conditionally This float value is the sales tax percentage rate applicable to the corresponding tax jurisdiction (US state or Canadian province). Sellers are responsible for providing accurate sales tax rates for each jurisdiction. This sales tax rate comes into play when a buyer from that tax jurisdiction makes a purchase from the seller. The value passed in is stored with a precision of 3 digits after the decimal point (##.###).

This field is only returned in order management calls if sales tax applies to the order line item, and is only in GetItem (and other 'Get' calls) if sales tax is applicable to the listing or order line item, and the seller is the person making the call.

Although this field will be returned at the order level in order management calls for a single line item order, sales tax is applied at the line item level and not order level. For multiple line item orders, this field will not be returned at all at the order level.

Note: Buyers in all 50 US states and DC are automatically charged sales tax for eBay purchases, and eBay collects and remits this sales tax to the proper taxing authority on the buyer's behalf. Because of this, if a sales tax percentage rate is applied to a listing by a seller in one of these states, this field will be ignored during the checkout process.

Currently, sales tax percentage rates can only be specified by sellers in Canada and 5 US territories, including American Samoa (AS), Guam (GU), Northern Mariana Islands (MP), Palau (PW), and Virgin Islands (VI).
ShippingDetails.SalesTax
.SalesTaxState string Conditionally This is the unique, two-digit identifier of the tax jurisdiction (such as 'CA' for California). To retrieve all two-digit identifiers for all states/territories/provinces for a site, a seller can either use a GetTaxTable call with DetailLevel set to ReturnAll, or they can use the GeteBayDetails call with DetailLevel name set to TaxJurisdiction. Please note that both GetTaxTable and GeteBayDetails calls use a JurisdictionID field to express these tax jurisdiction identifiers instead of SalesTaxState, but the values used in these fields are the same.

The SalesTaxState field is conditionally required in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call if the seller is applying sales tax to a listing for a particular jurisdiction, and is returned with each SalesTax container to identify the tax jurisdiction.
ShippingDetails.SalesTax
.ShippingIncludedInTax boolean Conditionally This field is included in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call and set to true if the seller wants sales tax for the jurisdiction to apply to the cumulative amount of item cost and shipping charges. This value defaults to false if not specified.

This field is always returned with the SalesTax container (whether true or false).

Note: Buyers in all 50 US states and DC are automatically charged sales tax for eBay purchases, and eBay collects and remits this sales tax to the proper taxing authority on the buyer's behalf. Because of this, if a sales tax percentage rate is applied to a listing by a seller in one of these states, this field will be ignored during the checkout process.

Currently, sales tax percentage rates can only be specified by sellers in Canada and 5 US territories, including American Samoa (AS), Guam (GU), Northern Mariana Islands (MP), Palau (PW), and Virgin Islands (VI).
ShippingDetails
.ShippingRateErrorMessage string Conditionally For most applicable calls, returns the words No Error or returns an error message related to an attempt to calculate shipping rates. For calculated shipping only.

The message text explains that a postal code is needed to calculate shipping. Only returned when ItemDetails is set to Fine.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingRateType ShippingRateTypeCodeType Conditionally A shipping rate scale for shipping through USPS that affects the shipping cost calculated for USPS (lower if ShippingRateType is DailyPickup). ShippingRateType is returned only if the value of ShippingService is one of the USPS shipping services. For calculated shipping only.

Applicable values: See ShippingRateType.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

See UPS rate scales.

ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions ShippingServiceOptionsType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] This container is used to provide details on a specific domestic shipping service option, including the unique identifier of the shipping service option and the costs related to domestic shipping service. A separate ShippingServiceOptions container is needed for each domestic shipping service option that is available to ship the item. Unless a fulfillment business policy is being used, generally at least one ShippingServiceOptions container will be required.

If you specify multiple ShippingServiceOptions nodes, the repeating nodes must be contiguous. For example, you can insert InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes after a list of repeating ShippingServiceOptions nodes, but not between them:

<ShippingServiceOptions>...</ShippingServiceOptions>
<ShippingServiceOptions>...</ShippingServiceOptions>
<ShippingServiceOptions>...</ShippingServiceOptions>
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>...</InternationalShippingServiceOption>
<InternationalShippingServiceOption>...</InternationalShippingServiceOption>

If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit ShippingServiceOptions, eBay will drop the domestic shipping services from the listing. This may also have unintended side effects, as other fields that depend on this data may be dropped as well.

To retain the shipping services and dependent fields when you modify other shipping details, it may be simplest to specify all ShippingDetails that you still want to include in the listing.

A seller can offer up to four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services. However, if the seller is opted in to the Global Shipping Program or eBay International Shipping, only four other international shipping services may be offered (regardless of whether or not Global Shipping shipment or eBay International Shipping is offered for the listing). All specified domestic and international shipping services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated).

Note: If the seller has set the shipping cost model to 'Flat' or 'Calculated' (ShippingDetails.ShippingType field), at least one actual shipping service option must be specified through a ShippingServiceOptions container. In the past, eBay allowed users to set the shipping cost model to 'Flat' or 'Calculated', and then just pass in one ShippingServiceOptions container with the ShippingServiceOptions.ShipppingService value set to a 'Local Pickup' option. Now, sellers must pass in at least one actual domestic shipping service option in addition to any 'Local Pickup' option, or the listing will be blocked with the following error: 17510 - You must specify at least one domestic shipping service, other than or in addition to Local Pickup.
For GetItemShipping, results are filtered: if any service is not available in the buyer's region, it is removed. If no services remain after this filtering, a warning is returned.

See Repeating (unbounded) fields for rules regarding repeating instances of a nodes (nodes for which maxOccurs is "unbounded" or is greater than 1).

ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ExpeditedService boolean Conditionally This field is returned as true if the domestic shipping service is considered an expedited shipping service. An expedited service is typically a shipping service that can ship an order that will arrive at the buyer's location within one to two business days.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.FreeShipping boolean Conditionally This boolean field indicates whether or not the corresponding domestic shipping service option is free to the buyer. In an Add/Revise/Relist call, free shipping can only be offered for the first specified shipping service (so, the corresponding ShippingServicePriority value should be 1 or included first in the call request). If 'free shipping' is for any other shipping service, this field is ignored.

For 'Get' calls, including GetItem, this field is only returned if 1.
Note: If a seller is specifying a shipping service option as 'free shipping', in addition to this FreeShipping boolean field, the seller will also need to include the corresponding ShippingServiceCost field and set its value to 0.0, as eBay will not do this automatically. Note: If the condition is certified refurbished (ConditionID set to 2000, 'Certified - Refurbished'), you must offer a free shipping option. Set FreeShipping as true (or 1) along with the ShippingServiceCost as 0.0 for the first domestic shipping service.

See Free shipping.

ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ImportCharge AmountType (double) Conditionally For orders using eBay International Shipping, when using the GetOrders call, the OrderArray.Order.ShippingServiceSelected.ImportCharge field contains only customs charges.

For the Global Shipping Program, which is only supported in the UK, this field contains the total cost of customs and taxes for the international leg of an order shipped using the Global Shipping Program. This amount is calculated and supplied for each item by the international shipping provider when a buyer views the item properties.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ImportCharge
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally For orders using eBay International Shipping, when using the GetOrders call, the OrderArray.Order.ShippingServiceSelected.ImportCharge field contains only customs charges.

For the Global Shipping Program, which is only supported in the UK, this field contains the total cost of customs and taxes for the international leg of an order shipped using the Global Shipping Program. This amount is calculated and supplied for each item by the international shipping provider when a buyer views the item properties.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingService token Conditionally This enumeration value indicates a specific domestic shipping service option being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer who is located within the same country as the item. This field is required to identify each domestic shipping service option that is specified with a ShippingServiceOptions container.

For a list of valid ShippingService values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingServiceDetails. The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must also be present. Otherwise, that particular shipping service option is no longer valid and cannot be offered to buyers through a listing.

To view the full list of domestic shipping service options in the response, look for the ShippingServiceDetails.ShippingService fields. Domestic shipping service options will not have a InternationalService = true field, as this indicates that the ShippingService value is an International shipping service option.

Note: The eBay standard envelope (eSE) is a domestic envelope service with tracking through eBay. This service applies to specific sub-categories of Trading Cards, and to coins & paper money, postcards, stamps, patches, and similar eligible categories, and is only available on the US marketplace. See eBay standard envelope for details, restrictions, and an envelope size template. To use this service, send envelopes using the USPS mail and set the ShippingService field to US_eBayStandardEnvelope.

For the REST equivalent, see Using the eBay standard envelope (eSE) service.

See GeteBayDetails.



Applicable values: See ShippingServiceCodeType
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingServiceAdditionalCost AmountType (double) Conditionally The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingServiceAdditionalCost
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingServiceCost AmountType (double) Conditionally The base cost of shipping one unit of the item using the shipping service specified in the corresponding ShippingService field.

In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field also becomes applicable, and shows the cost to ship each additional unit of the item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

Note: If the corresponding shipping service option is set as a 'free shipping' option (FreeShipping set to true) and flat-rate shipping is being used domestically (ShippingType is set to Flat or FlatDomesticCalculatedInternational), the seller must still include this ShippingServiceCost field and set its value to 0.0, as eBay will not do this automatically. Do not include ShippingServiceCost when the domestic shipping service option is set to represent domestic calculated shipping (ShippingType is set to Calculated or CalculatedDomesticFlatInternational), as error 10019 occurs.
When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost.

Note that if ShippingService is set to LocalPickup, ShippingServiceCost must be set to 0.0. Also, if a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingServiceCost
[ attribute currencyID ] CurrencyCodeType Conditionally The base cost of shipping one unit of the item using the shipping service specified in the corresponding ShippingService field.

In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field also becomes applicable, and shows the cost to ship each additional unit of the item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

Note: If the corresponding shipping service option is set as a 'free shipping' option (FreeShipping set to true) and flat-rate shipping is being used domestically (ShippingType is set to Flat or FlatDomesticCalculatedInternational), the seller must still include this ShippingServiceCost field and set its value to 0.0, as eBay will not do this automatically. Do not include ShippingServiceCost when the domestic shipping service option is set to represent domestic calculated shipping (ShippingType is set to Calculated or CalculatedDomesticFlatInternational), as error 10019 occurs.
When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost.

Note that if ShippingService is set to LocalPickup, ShippingServiceCost must be set to 0.0. Also, if a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For a list of possible enumeration values, see CurrencyCodeType.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingServiceCutOffTime dateTime Conditionally The last time of day that an order using the specified shipping service will be accepted by the seller for the current listing. The cut off time applies and is returned only when the ShippingService field contains the name of a qualifying time-sensitive shipping service, such as eBayNowImmediateDelivery.

The cut off time is set by eBay and determined in part by the policies and locations of the seller and the shipping carrier.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingServicePriority int Conditionally Controls the order (relative to other shipping services) in which the corresponding ShippingService will appear in the View Item and Checkout page.

Sellers can specify up to four domestic shipping services (with four ShippingServiceOptions containers), so valid values are 1, 2, 3, and 4. A shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 1 appears at the top. Conversely, a shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 4 appears at the bottom of a list of four shipping service options.

If this field is omitted from domestic shipping service options, the order of the shipping service options in View Item and Checkout pages will be determined by the order that these shipping service options are presented in the request payload of an Add/Revise/Relist call.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingTimeMax int Conditionally The integer value returned here indicates the maximum number of business days that the shipping service (indicated in the corresponding ShippingService field) will take to be delivered to the buyer.

This maximum shipping time does not include the seller's handling time, and the clock starts on the shipping time only after the seller has delivered the item to the shipping carrier for shipment to the buyer. 'Business days' can vary by shipping carrier and by country, but 'business days' are generally Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. This field is returned if defined for that particular shipping service option.
ShippingDetails
.ShippingServiceOptions
.ShippingTimeMin int Conditionally The integer value returned here indicates the minimum number of business days that the shipping service (indicated in the corresponding ShippingService field) will take to be delivered to the buyer.

This minimum shipping time does not include the seller's handling time, and the clock starts on the shipping time only after the seller has delivered the item to the shipping carrier for shipment to the buyer. 'Business days' can vary by shipping carrier and by country, but 'business days' are generally Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. This field is returned if defined for that particular shipping service option.
ShippingDetails.ShippingType ShippingTypeCodeType Always The shipping cost model offered by the seller. This is not returned for various calls since shipping type can be deduced: if a CalculatedShippingRate structure is returned by the call, the shipping type is Calculated. Otherwise, it is one of the other non-Calculated shipping types.

GetItemShipping and GetItemTransactions: If the type was a mix of flat and calculated services, this is set simply to Flat or Calculated because it is the buyer's selection that results in one of these.

GetMyeBayBuying: If the seller has set the ShipToLocation to Worldwide for an item, but has not specified any international shipping service options, NotSpecified is returned as the ShippingType value.

Applicable values: See ShippingType.

ShippingDetails
.ThirdPartyCheckout boolean Conditionally
Note: This field is deprecated and will stop being returned in GetItemTransactions and GetSellerTransactions on January 31, 2024.
Standard Output Fields
Ack AckCodeType Always A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status (e.g., success). The AckCodeType list specifies the possible values for the Ack field.

Applicable values:

CustomCode
(out) Reserved for internal or future use.
Failure
(out) This value indicates that the call request processing failed.
Success
(out) This value indicates that the call request was processed successfully without any issues.
Warning
(out) This value indicates that the call request was successful, but processing was not without any issues. These issues can be checked in the Errors container, that will also be returned when one or more known issues occur with the call request.

(Not all values in AckCodeType apply to this field.)

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
Build string Always This refers to the specific software build that eBay used when processing the request and generating the response. This includes the version number plus additional information. eBay Developer Support may request the build information when helping you resolve technical issues.
CorrelationID string Conditionally Most Trading API calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass in a MessageID in a request, the same value will be returned in the CorrelationID field in the response. Pairing these values can help you track and confirm that a response is returned for every request and to match specific responses to specific requests. If you do not pass a MessageID value in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note: GetCategories is designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.
Errors ErrorType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] A list of application-level errors (if any) that occurred when eBay processed the request.
Errors.ErrorClassification ErrorClassificationCodeType Conditionally API errors are divided between two classes: system errors and request errors.

Applicable values:

CustomCode
(out) Reserved for internal or future use.
RequestError
(out) An error has occurred either as a result of a problem in the sending application or because the application's end-user has attempted to submit invalid data (or missing data). In these cases, do not retry the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be made again. If the problem is due to something in the application (such as a missing required field), the application must be changed. If the problem is a result of end-user data, the application must alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for the end-user to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, resend the request to eBay with the corrected data.
SystemError
(out) Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side, such as a database or server down. An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
Errors.ErrorCode token Conditionally A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms.

See Errors By Number.

Errors.ErrorParameters ErrorParameterType Conditionally,
repeatable: [0..*] This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned.
Errors.ErrorParameters
[ attribute ParamID ] string Conditionally This optional element carries a list of context-specific error variables that indicate details about the error condition. These are useful when multiple instances of ErrorType are returned.
Errors.ErrorParameters.Value string Conditionally This is the value of the request parameter noted in the ParamID attribute. So, if the ParamID value was ItemID, the value in this field would be the actual value of that ItemID.
Errors.LongMessage string Conditionally A more detailed description of the condition that raised the error.
Errors.SeverityCode SeverityCodeType Conditionally Indicates whether the error is a severe error (causing the request to fail) or an informational error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user.

Applicable values:

CustomCode
(out) Reserved for internal or future use.
Error
(out) The request that triggered the error was not processed successfully. When a serious application-level error occurs, the error is returned instead of the business data.

If the source of the problem is within the application (such as a missing required element), change the application before you retry the request.
  • If the problem is due to end-user input data, please alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, you can attempt to re-send the request to eBay.
  • If the source of the problem is on eBay's side, An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.


See the Error handling section of the Making a Trading API call guide for more information.
Warning
(out) The request was processed successfully, but something occurred that may affect your application or the user. For example, eBay may have changed a value the user sent in. In this case, eBay returns a normal, successful response and also returns the warning.

When a warning occurs, the error is returned in addition to the business data. In this case, you do not need to retry the request (as the original request was successful). However, depending on the cause or nature of the warning, you might need to contact either the end user or eBay to effect a long term solution to the problem to prevent it from reoccurring in the future.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.
Errors.ShortMessage string Conditionally A brief description of the condition that raised the error.
HardExpirationWarning string Conditionally Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token.
Timestamp dateTime Always This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See the Time Values section in the eBay Features Guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone.

Note: GetCategories and other Trading API calls are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, this time value reflects the time the cached response was created. Thus, this value is not necessarily when the request was processed. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, this time value does reflect when the request was processed.
Version string Always The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request. See the Standard Data for All Calls section in the eBay Features Guide for information on using the response version when troubleshooting CustomCode values that appear in the response.

Sample: Basic Call

Calculates the shipping cost for an active listing.

Description

A user finds a stationary bike on eBay and before he bids on the listing, he wants to know how much it would cost to ship the item to his home in Berea, Kentucky. The seller is using calculated shippping rates for this listing.

Input

The key inputs for this scenario are:

  • ItemID
  • QuantitySold
  • DestinationPostalCode
  • DestinationCountryCode

Item 3**********4 is a listing with at least one domestic calculated shipping service. Since he is bidding on only one item, QuantitySold is set to 1. The postal code for Berea, Kentucky's is 40404. The country code for the United States is US.

For calculated shipping, the core cost of shipping depends on the distance between the seller's location and the buyer's shipping address and on the number of items purchased.

  • Item.EligibleForPickupDropOff (deprecated): Add/Revise/Relist/Verify calls can no longer be used to set Click and Collect eligibility at the listing level, so this field should not be returned in GetItemShipping.

However, if set in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, it will get returned in GetItemShipping.

  • ShippingServiceCodeType (modified): The package size of "USPS flat rate envelope" (for eBay US listings) is now deprecated, and six new shipping services have been added to ShippingServiceCodeType for US domestic and international shipping: USPSExpressMailFlatRateEnvelope, USPSExpressMailInternationalFlatRateEnvelope, USPSPriorityMailFlatRateBox, USPSPriorityMailFlatRateEnvelope, USPSPriorityMailInternationalFlatRateBox, USPSPriorityMailInternationalFlatRateEnvelope. If a seller offers any of these flat rate services, the seller is required to specify a package weight, even though these services are weight- independent. This is because each service has a maximum weight limit and eBay validates the listed weight. The seller must specify a package size of Package/Thick Envelope when using calculated shipping.

    Migration: If a seller submits a request with the deprecated package size, it will be converted to Package/Thick envelope. USPS Priority Mail services will be converted to USPSPriorityMailFlatRateEnvelope (or its international counterpart, if appropriate). Likewise, USPS Express Mail services will be converted to USPSExpressMailFlatRateEnvelope (or its international counterpart). A non-blocking warning message will be returned to the seller in the API response. Active listings using USPS Flat Rate Envelope remain unaffected in the View Item and Checkout flows. eBay will internally treat it as a flat rate service when calculating the cost.
