GET/rate_table

This method retrieves a seller's shipping rate tables for the country specified in the country_code query parameter. If you call this method without specifying a country code, the call returns all of the seller's shipping rate tables.

The method's response includes a rateTableId for each table defined by the seller. This rateTableId value is used in add/revise item call or in create/update fulfillment business policy call to specify the shipping rate table to use for that policy's domestic or international shipping options.

This call currently supports getting rate tables related to the following marketplaces:

  • EBAY_AU
  • EBAY_CA
  • EBAY_DE
  • EBAY_ES
  • EBAY_FR
  • EBAY_GB
  • EBAY_IT
  • EBAY_US
Note: Rate tables created with the Trading API might not have been assigned a rateTableId at the time of their creation. This method can assign and return rateTableId values for rate tables with missing IDs if you make a request using the country_code where the seller has defined rate tables.

Sellers can define up to 40 shipping rate tables for their account, which lets them set up different rate tables for each of the marketplaces they sell into. Go to Shipping rate tables in My eBay to create and update rate tables.
