Return custom, application-specific data associated with the item. The data you specify is stored by eBay with the item for your own reference, but it is not used by eBay in any way. Use ApplicationData to store special information for yourself, such as a part number. For a SKU in an eBay.com listing, use the SKU element instead. To remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField.

Different Buyer protection schemes and the various status associated with each one of them.

This field has been deprecated, and should no longer be used.

This field has been deprecated, and should no longer be used.

If true, the seller requests immediate payment for a fixed-price item or an auction item that is purchased with the 'Buy it Now' feature. If false or not specified, immediate payment is not requested. (In responses, does not indicate whether the item is actually still a candidate for purchase via immediate payment.)

For sellers not opted in to eBay managed payments: immediate payment is only available if the eBay marketplace supports PayPal as a payment method, and the listing category supports immediate payment (the AutoPayEnabled should be returned as true in the GetCategories response). To enable the listing with the immediated payment requirement, AutoPay must be true, the PayPalEmailAddress field must be included and must have a valid PayPal email address for the seller, and the only specified PaymentMethods value must be PayPal.

For sellers opted in to eBay managed payments: the only requirement is that the listing category supports immediate payments. With managed payments, eBay handles the payment methods available to the buyer, so the seller will not have to specify any payment methods, and will not have include the PayPalEmailAddress field. The seller only has to include the AutoPay field and set it to true to create an Immediate Payment listing.

If a seller does not wish to require immediate payment, the AutoPay flag is not required since it defaults to false.

This field is only returned if true, and indicates that the 'Click and Collect' feature is available for this item. With Click and Collect, buyers are able to purchase from thousands of sellers on the eBay UK, Australia, and Germany sites, and then pick up their order from the nearest 'eBay Collection Point'. Note that an item may be eligible for Click and Collect, but this logistics option will only surface if the prospective buyer is within the vicinity of an 'eBay Collection Point'.

The Click and Collect feature is only available on the eBay UK, Australia, and Germany sites. For more information about Click and Collect, see the Click and Collect home page on the eBay UK site, the Click and Collect home page on the eBay Australia site, or the Click and Collect home page on the eBay Germany site.

Not all categories on the UK, Australia, and Germany sites support Click and Collect listings. To verify if a specific category on these eBay sites support Click and Collect listings, use the GetCategoryFeatures call, passing in one or more CategoryID values and a PickupDropOffEnabled value in the FeatureID field.

Look for a true value in the PickupDropOffEnabled field of the corresponding Category node (match up the CategoryID values if more than one Category IDs were passed in the request).

Note: For Click and Collect eligible sellers, the Click and Collect feature can only be enabled at the account level, and then each of the seller's listings will be automatically evaluated for Click and Collect eligibility.

For Add/Revise/Relist/Verify calls: This container is used to enable the Best Offer feature on a listing. Note that the Best Offer feature can be set for auction listings on the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, and Spain marketplaces, but a seller can only use Best Offer or Buy It Now, but not both. Once an auction listing receives a qualifying bid, the Best Offer feature will be turned off and any pending Best Offers or Counteroffers will no longer be valid.

For GetItem and other calls that retrieve item data, this container will include the status (GetMyeBayBuying only) and dollar amount of the latest Best Offer on a fixed-price listing, and the number of Best Offers received for the fixed-price listing.

This field is deprecated. This information is returned in BestOfferDetails.

Detailed information about a bid. For GetMyeBayBuying, returned as a self-closed element if no bids meet the request criteria.

This field is deprecated.

Returns the seller's information (in a business card format) if the seller's SellerBusinessCodeType is set to Commercial. This is only applicable for sites where Business Seller options are supported.

For the Australia site, BuyerGuaranteePrice is the PayPal Buyer Protection coverage, offered for the item at the time of purchase. Details of coverage are in the following sections of the View Item page: the Buy Safely section and the Payment Details section.

Flag to indicate an item's eligibility for the PayPal Buyer Protection program. This field is only returned if true. If this field is not returned, the item is not eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection. For more information on items that are eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection, see the PayPal Buyer Protection help page.

When this container is present in an AddItem or AddFixedPriceItem call, all buyer requirements for the resulting listing are set by this container. Furthermore, individual buyer requirements cannot be modified or added when including this container in a ReviseItem call. The ReviseItem call needs to provide the entire set of buyer requirements to modify or add any of the requirements.

Unless otherwise specified, most buyer requirements are only returned if the caller is the seller. Any and all My eBay account-level Buyer Requirements are overridden by the contents of this container. This means that buyer requirements set in My eBay cannot be combined with buyer requirements included in this container.

Applicable for listings in vehicle categories on the US eBay Motors site and eBay Canada site. (No business effect if specified for other categories or sites, as the Web site will not display the information to buyers.)

• If true, the buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.
• If false, specify vehicle shipping arrangements in the item description. (The description can also include vehicle shipping arrangements when this value is true.)

If the item has bids or ends within 12 hours, you cannot modify this flag. Do not specify ShippingDetails.ShippingServiceOptions for vehicle listings.

If true and the listing is on the US eBay Motors site, and you want the listing to be visible on the eBay Canada site, set Item.ShipToLocations to CA.

If true and the listing is on the eBay Canada site, and you want your listing to be visible on the US eBay Motors site, set Item.ShipToLocations to US.

This field is only applicable for auction listings. By specifying a 'Buy It Now' price, a seller is allowing prospective buyers the opportunity to purchase the item in the auction listing at this price immediately. When a buyer uses the 'Buy It Now' option to purchase the item, the auction listing will end immediately.

By including this field and specifying a 'Buy It Now' price, the seller is enabling the 'Buy It Now' feature on the auction listing. If the seller includes this field for any other listing type other than an auction, this field and its price will just be ignored.

The price in this field must be at least 30 percent higher than the starting bid price (which is specified in an Add call through the Item.StartPrice field). Once a bid is made on an auction listing, and the bid meets or exceeds the Item.ReservePrice value (if set), the 'Buy It Now' option becomes unavailable, and this field will no longer be applicable. If there is no Reserve Price, the first bid will nullify the 'Buy It Now' option.

Keep in mind that GetItem (and other 'Get' calls that retrieve the Item details) may still return the BuyItNowPrice field for an auction item even if the 'Buy It Now' option is no longer available. Instead, a user should look for the ListingDetails.BuyItNowAvailable boolean field in the GetItem response to determine if the 'Buy It Now' option is still available for the auction item.

Note: For the US site, new eBay sellers are subject to Seller Limits, which limit the quantity of items that may be listed and/or the total cumulative value of these listings. While subject to these selling limits, an eBay seller can use the GetMyeBaySelling call to retrieve both the remaining number of listings they can create and the remaining cumulative value of these listings. These values are shown in the Summary.QuantityLimitRemaining and Summary.AmountLimitRemaining fields in the GetMyeBaySelling response. If a call to add an item or revise an item would result in the exceeding of these limits, the add item or revise item call will fail. These fields will only be returned if the seller is subject to seller limits.

Note: This field's value now defaults to true if this field is omitted. Previously, the default value was false, so a user had to include this field and set it to true in order for eBay to map an outdated Primary or Secondary Category ID to the updated Category ID. This boolean field controls whether or not eBay automatically maps outdated Category ID(s) specified in a PrimaryCategory and/or SecondaryCategory container(s) to the updatd Category ID(s) no longer exists in the current category structure: If you pass a value of true in CategoryMappingAllowed or just omit the field, eBay will look up the current Category ID(s) that have replaced the specified Category ID(s). If you pass a value of false, eBay will not do any mapping, and the call may fail if specified Category ID(s) are no longer valid IDs for a eBay leaf category. The new Category ID(s) will be returned in the CategoryID and Category2ID fields (if secondary category is used) of the Add/Revise/Relist call response.

This value sets the maximum price threshold for a seller's product price in a fixed-price listing. Regardless of the product price on Amazon or eBay Value Box, the seller's product price will not be raised higher than this dollar value.

This value is only applicable to sellers enabled to use the Dynamic Pricing API, and if a dynamic pricing rule is assigned to the listing's product. If this field is not specified through the Dynamic Pricing API, an eBay system-level threshold is used to avoid any undesirable results.

This container identifies the nonprofit organization that will benefit with a percentage of the proceeds from each sale of an item through an auction or fixed-price listing. Charity names and IDs can be found by going to eBay for Charity page and doing a search, or by doing a search with the GetCharities call. The donation percentage can be set in 5 percent increments from 10 percent to 100 percent. For all charitable listings, PayPal must be an accepted payment method(see Item.PaymentMethods).

When it comes to revising an auction or fixed-price listing, you can add a benefitting charity (as long as there is at least 12 hours left before end of listing/close of auction), but you cannot remove or change a nonprofit company once one is already established in the original listing.

For Revise calls: The non-profit organization and donation percentage can now be modified in a Revise call as long as there are no active bids on an auction listing, or no pending Best Offers/Counter Offers on a listing.

This container will only be returned in Get calls for charitable listings. Charitable listings are only supported in the US and UK marketplaces.

The email and phone lead fee for a pay-per-lead item.

This string value provides more details about the item's condition.

This string field is used by the seller to more clearly describe the condition of items that are not brand new.

The ConditionDescription field is available for all categories, including categories where the condition type is not applicable (e.g., Antiques). This field is applicable for all item conditions except 'New', 'Brand New', 'New with tags', and 'New in box'. If ConditionDescription is used with these conditions (Condition IDs 1000-1499), eBay will simply ignore this field if included, and eBay will return a warning message to the user.

This field should only be used to further clarify the condition of the used item. For example, "The right leg of the chair has a small scratch, and on the seat back there is a light blue stain about the shape and size of a coin." It should not be used for branding, promotions, shipping, returns, payment or other information unrelated to the condition of the item. Make sure that the condition type (Item.ConditionID), condition description, item description (Item.Description), and the listing's pictures do not contradict one another.

Note: The ConditionDescription field is optional For Add/Revise/Relist API calls. ConditionDescription is currently supported on the eBay US and US eBay Motors (0), UK (3), CA (2), CAFR (210), AU (15), AT (16), BEFR (23), BENL (123), FR (71), DE (77), IT (101), NL (146), ES (186), CH (193), IE (205) and PL (212) sites.
The ConditionDescription field is returned by GetItem (and other related calls that return the Item object) if a condition description is specified in the listing.

The human-readable label for the item condition. Display names are localized for the site on which they're listed (not necessarily the site on which they're viewed).

Most categories use the same display name for the same condition ID. Some categories may override the display name based on buyer expectations for items in the category. For example, condition ID 1000 could be called "New" in one category and "New with tags" in another.

Behind the scenes, eBay's search engine uses the ID (not the display name) to determine whether items are new, used, or refurbished.

Only returned when the seller specified ConditionID in their listing.

This is a numeric identifier for an item's condition. All numeric Condition ID values map to an item condition string value. For example, numeric identifer 1000 maps to New condition.

Most eBay listing categories require an item condition, but a few eBay categories do not (such as Digital Gift Cards or Antiques categories). To verify if the listing category requires an item condition, and if so, what are the supported item condition and ConditionID values, you can call GetCategoryFeatures. In this GetCategoryFeatures call, you'd pass in the listing CategoryID value and two FeatureID fields - one of these fields set to ConditionEnabled, and the other field set to ConditionValues.

In the GetCategoryFeatures response, look at the Category.ConditionEnabled to see if item condition is required for the category. Then look at the Category.ConditionValues container in the response for the full list of Condition IDs that you can pass in through the ConditionID field of an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call. Note that the Condition.DisplayName value in the response is the actual condition value that will appear in the actual eBay listing.

If you pass in a ConditionID value that is not valid for the category, or if you don't pass in a ConditionID value at all for a category that requires it, the listing request fails.

If you are listing in two categories (using a secondary category), it is the primary listing category that determines which ConditionID values are supported.

For Revise/Relist calls: In most cases, you can change the ConditionID value (if applicable/warranted), with the exception being an auction listing that has one or more bids, or any listing that is scheduled to end in 12 hours or less.

For GetItem: The ConditionID value is always returned if set for the listing. GetItem also returns the item condition string value in the ConditionDisplayName field.

Note: In all eBay marketplaces, Condition ID 2000 now maps to an item condition of 'Certified Refurbished', and not 'Manufacturer Refurbished'. To list an item as 'Certified Refurbished', a seller must be pre-qualified by eBay for this feature. Any seller who is not eligible for this feature will be blocked if they try to create a new listing or revise an existing listing with this item condition. Any active listings on any eBay marketplace that had 'Manufacturer Refurbished' as the item condition should have been automatically updated by eBay to the 'Seller Refurbished' item condition (Condition ID 2500).

Any seller that is interested in eligibility requirements to list with 'Certified Refurbished' should see the Certified refurbished program page in Seller Center.

This two-digit enumeration value indicates the country of the seller's registration address. CountryCodeType defines the supported values. The GeteBayDetails call can also be used (include the DetailName field and set its value to CountryDetails) to see the full list of supported country codes.

In an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, this field is required.

This field is used by sellers who want their listing to be returned in the search results for other eBay sites. This feature is currently only supported by the US, UK, eBay Canada, and eBay Ireland sites. See Getting exposure on international sites for full requirements on using this feature. There is a small listing fee for each country specified as a Cross Border Trade country.

US listings that offer shipping to Canada, North America, or worldwide are automatically returned on eBay.ca at no extra charge, so US listings that offer shipping to these locations do not need to specify Canada as a Cross Border Trade country.

This field is deprecated, and should not longer be used.

In an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, this required three-digit enumeration value defines the currency associated with the listing site. The item price and all costs passed in the call request will be using this currency. Similarly, the listing fees and other cost-related data will be using this currency. Since the Trading API can only be used for a select number of eBay sites, only a subset of values are supporting when adding/revising/relisting an item. These supported values are discussed in the top section of CurrencyCodeType.

In 'Get' calls, it is possible that any of the values in CurrencyCodeType may appear, as some cost-related fields will show the buyer's currency type.

The seller's description of the item. In listing requests, you can submit your description using CDATA if you want to use HTML or XML-reserved characters in the description. However, a seller can not use any active content in their listing description. Active content includes animation or video via JavaScript, Flash, plug-ins, or form actions. All active content will be blocked/removed from a listing. Removing/blocking active content will lead to faster load times of listings, make listings more mobile-friendly, improve SEO performance, and lead to a more secure eBay Marketplace.

Note: To ensure that their listing description is optimized when viewed on mobile devices, sellers should strongly consider using eBay's View Item description summary feature when listing their item. Using HTML div and span tag attributes, this feature allows sellers to customize and fully control the listing description that is displayed for prospective buyers when viewing the item on a mobile device. The listing description on mobile devices is limited to 800 characters, and whenever the listing description exceeds this limit, eBay uses a special algorithm to derive the best possible description within the 800-character limit. However, due to some description content being removed, it is definitely not ideal for the seller, and could possibly lead to a bad buyer experience and a Significantly not as described (SNAD) case, since the buyer may not get complete details on the item. See the eBay help page for more details on using the HTML div and span tags, and for more tips on creating listings that are mobile-friendly, see this Best practices document.
In the listing description, sellers are only allowed to provide links to product videos, freight shipping services, or other legally required information, and when providing these links in the listing description, the secure 'https' protocol must be used instead of 'http'. In addition, any valid links to sites outside of eBay should use the target="_blank" attribute in the a href tag so a new browser window will be loaded when the link is clicked instead of buyers being redirected off of eBay. For more information on using links in the listing description, see eBay's Links policy. For more information about the stronger security standards that eBay is using, see the Use secure HTTPS for enhanced browser security topic in the 2018 Fall Seller Update. The getListingViolations method of the Compliance API can be used to see if any of the seller's active listings are not 'HTTPS' compliant.

If you embed pictures in the description (by using IMG tags) instead of using PictureURL, but you want a camera icon to appear in search and listing pages, specify the following null-image URL in the PictureURL field: https://pics.ebay.com/aw/pics/dot_clear.gif. See Working with Pictures in an Item Listing in the eBay Features Guide.

This field is conditionally required for all listings. The exception is when the seller specifies a product identifier, such as a GTIN or ePID, through the ProductListingDetails container and a product match is found in the eBay product catalog. If a matching product is found in the eBay product catalog, the item description will be created automatically (as long as the ProductListingDetails.IncludeeBayProductDetails value is true).

This field is conditionally required if the listing is being revised through a Revise call, and the Item.Description field is one of the fields being changed. The enumeration value passed in this field specifies whether the text provided in the Item.Description field will prepend, append, or replace the existing text in the current Item.Description field.

This container is used in Add/Revise/Relist/Verify listing calls to designate the listing as a digital gift card listing. It is also returned in GetItem to indicate that the listing contains a digital gift card.

If true, all buyer requirements (from Item.BuyerRequirementDetails or Buyer requirements preferences in My eBay) are ignored.

If false (or omitted): Item.BuyerRequirementDetails or Buyer requirements preferences are used, with Item.BuyerRequirementDetails having the higher precedence.

This container provides information for an item that has a Strikethrough Price (STP) or a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) discount pricing treatment. STP and MAP apply only to fixed-price listings. STP is available on the US, eBay Motors, UK, Germany, Canada (English and French), France, Italy, and Spain sites, while MAP is available only on the US site.

Discount pricing is available to qualified sellers (and their associated developers) who participate in the Discount Pricing Program. Once qualified, sellers receive a 'special account flag' (SAF) that allows them to apply Discount Pricing to both single-variation and multi-variation items. STP is intended for eBay partners and their sellers only.

As a seller listing Discount Price items, you are required to maintain records of your discount pricing in the event you are called upon to substantiate your item pricing.

For AddFixedPriceItem, RelistFixedPriceItem, ReviseFixedPriceItem, and VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: If you are listing variations (MSKU items), use Variation.DiscountPriceInfo for each variation.
