If this field is returned as true, the corresponding category supports immediate payment for listings.

This string value is the unique identifier of an eBay category. In GetItem and related calls, see the CategoryName field for the text name of the category. The parent category of this eBay category is only shown in GetCategories.

In an Add call, the PrimaryCategory.CategoryID is conditionally required unless the seller successfully uses the ProductListingDetails container to find an eBay catalog product match. When the seller successfully uses an eBay catalog product to create a listing, the listing title, listing description, item specifics, listing category, and stock photo defined in the catalog product is used to create the listing.

In an Add/Revise/Relist call, the SecondaryCategory.CategoryID is conditionally required if a Secondary Category is used. Using a Secondary Category can incur a listing fee.

For ReviseItem only: Previously, removing the listing from a secondary category was only possible within 12 hours of the listing's scheduled end time when an auction listing had no active bids or a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing had no items sold, but this restriction no longer exists. Now, the secondary category can be dropped for any active listing at any time, regardless of whether an auction listing has bids or a fixed-price listing has sales. To drop a secondary category, the seller passes in a value of 0 in the SecondaryCategory.CategoryID field.

This integer value indicates the level where the category fits in the eBay site's category hierarchy. For example, if this field has a value of 2, then the category is two levels below the root category in the eBay site's category hierarchy.

This string value is the display name of the eBay primary category, as it would appear on the eBay site. In GetItem, this will be a fully-qualified category name (e.g., Collectibles:Decorative Collectibles:Hummel, Goebel).

This string value is the Category ID of the primary category's (indicated in the CategoryID field) parent category. The number of CategoryParentID values that are returned will depend on the LevelLimit value that is set (in GetCategories) and on how far up the primary category is in the eBay category hierarchy. CategoryParentID values are returned in correct sequence, starting from the root category and ending with the category that is the direct parent of the primary category specified in CategoryID. The CategoryID and CategoryParentID values will be the same if the LevelLimit value is set to 1.

This string value is the display name of the category indicated in the corresponding CategoryParentID field. If multiple parent categories are retrieved in the GetSuggestedCategories call, the matching CategoryParentID and CategoryParentName can be found by following the sequence in which these fields are returned. The primary category's ancestors are returned in sequence beginning with the root category all the way down to the primary category's direct parent category.

The CategoryParentName fields and the CategoryName field can be used to build the fully-qualified category name and/or "breadcrumbs" browse path. (e.g., Computers & Networking > Technology Books > Certification).

A lot listing is a listing that features multiple related items that must be purchased by one buyer in one transaction. 'LSD' is an acronym for 'Lot Size Disabled'. 'Lot Size' refers to the LotSize field in the Add/Revise/Relisting calls that is conditionally required if the seller is creating a lot listing. The LSD field is not returned when false.

If this field is returned as true, the corresponding category is an exception to the eBay site's standard Reserve Price policy on auction listings. For example, if the site's default setting is to allow setting a Reserve Price, but ORPA is returned as true, this particular category does not support setting a Reserve Price. Or, if the site's default setting is not to allow setting a Reserve Price, but ORPA is returned as true, this particular category is the exception to that rule and does support setting a Reserve Price. If ORPA is true for the corresponding category, you can generally assume that the category's subcategories inherit the same setting. 'ORPA' is an acronym for 'Override Reserve Price Allowed'.

This field is not returned when false.

If this field is returned as true, the corresponding category is an exception to the eBay site's standard Reduce Reserve Price (on active auction listing) policy.

Or, if the site's default setting is not to allow reducting a Reserve Price, but ORRA is returned as true, this particular category is the exception to that rule and does support reducing a Reserve Price. If ORRA is true for the corresponding category, you can generally assume that the category's subcategories inherit the same setting. 'ORRA' is an acronym for 'Override Reduce Reserve Allowed'.
