Fields

Field
Type
Description
availableQuantity
This integer value indicates the quantity of the inventory item (specified by the sku value) that will be available for purchase by buyers shopping on the eBay site specified in the marketplaceId field.
categoryId
The unique identifier of the primary eBay category that the inventory item is listed under. This field is always returned for published offers, but is only returned if set for unpublished offers.
charity
This container is returned if a charitable organization will receive a percentage of sale proceeds for each sale generated by the listing. This container consists of the charityId field to identify the charitable organization, and the donationPercentage field that indicates the percentage of the sales proceeds that will be donated to the charitable organization.
extendedProducerResponsibility
This container is used to provide the eco-participation fee for a product. Use the getExtendedProducerResponsibilityPolicies method of the Sell Metadata API to retrieve categories that support eco-participation fee for a specified marketplace.
format
This enumerated value indicates the listing format of the offer.
hideBuyerDetails
This field is returned as true if the private listing feature has been enabled for the offer. Sellers may want to use this feature when they believe that a listing's potential bidders/buyers would not want their obfuscated user IDs (and feedback scores) exposed to other users.

This field is always returned even if not explicitly set in the offer. It defaults to false, so will get returned as false if seller does not set this feature with a 'Create' or 'Update' offer method.
includeCatalogProductDetails
This field indicates whether or not eBay product catalog details are applied to a listing. A value of true indicates the listing corresponds to the eBay product associated with the provided product identifier. The product identifier is provided in createOrReplaceInventoryItem.

Note: Though the includeCatalogProductDetails parameter is not required to be submitted in the request, the parameter defaults to 'true' if omitted.

listing
For published offers, this container is always returned in the getOffer and getOffers calls, and includes the eBay listing ID associated with the offer, the status of the listing, and the quantity sold through the listing. The listing container is not returned at all for unpublished offers.
listingDescription
The description of the eBay listing that is part of the unpublished or published offer. This field is always returned for published offers, but is only returned if set for unpublished offers.

Max Length: 500000 (which includes HTML markup/tags)
listingDuration
This field indicates the number of days that the listing will be active.

This field is returned for both auction and fixed-price listings; however, the value returned for fixed-price listings will always be GTC. The GTC (Good 'Til Cancelled) listings are automatically renewed each calendar month until the seller decides to end the listing.

Note: If the listing duration expires for an auction offer, the listing then becomes available as a fixed-price offer and will be GTC.
listingPolicies
This container indicates the listing policies that are applied to the offer. Listing policies include business policies, custom listing policies, and fields that override shipping costs, enable eBay Plus eligibility, or enable the Best Offer feature.

It is required that the seller be opted into Business Policies before being able to create live eBay listings through the Inventory API. Sellers can opt-in to Business Policies through My eBay or by using the Account API's optInToProgram call. Payment, return, and fulfillment listing policies may be created/managed in My eBay or by using the listing policy calls of the sell Account API. The sell Account API can also be used to create and manage custom policies. For more information, see the sell Account API.

For unpublished offers where business policies have yet to be specified, this container will be returned as empty.
listingStartDate
This timestamp is the date/time (in UTC format) that the seller set for the scheduled listing. With the scheduled listing feature, the seller can set a time in the future that the listing will become active, instead of the listing becoming active immediately after a publishOffer call.

For example: 2023-05-30T19:08:00Z.

Scheduled listings do not always start at the exact date/time specified by the seller, but the date/time of the timestamp returned in getOffer/getOffers will be the same as the timestamp passed into a 'Create' or 'Update' offer call.

This field is returned if set for an offer.
lotSize
This field is only applicable and returned if the listing is a lot listing. A lot listing is a listing that has multiple quantity of the same product. An example would be a set of four identical car tires. The integer value in this field is the number of identical items being sold through the lot listing.
marketplaceId
This enumeration value is the unique identifier of the eBay site on which the offer is available, or will be made available.
merchantLocationKey
The unique identifier of the inventory location. This identifier is set up by the merchant when the inventory location is first created with the createInventoryLocation call. Once this value is set for an inventory location, it can not be modified. To get more information about this inventory location, the getInventoryLocation method can be used, passing in this value at the end of the call URI.

This field is always returned for published offers, but is only returned if set for unpublished offers.

Max length: 36
offerId
The unique identifier of the offer. This identifier is used in many offer-related calls, and it is also used in the bulkUpdatePriceQuantity call.
pricingSummary
This container shows the listing price for the product offer, and if applicable, the settings for the Minimum Advertised Price and Strikethrough Pricing features. The Minimum Advertised Price feature is only available on the US site. Strikethrough Pricing is available on the US, eBay Motors, UK, Germany, Canada (English and French), France, Italy, and Spain sites.

For unpublished offers where pricing information has yet to be specified, this container will be returned as empty.
quantityLimitPerBuyer
This field is only applicable and set if the seller wishes to set a restriction on the purchase quantity of an inventory item per seller. If this field is set by the seller for the offer, then each distinct buyer may purchase up to, but not exceed the quantity in this field. So, if this field's value is 5, each buyer may purchase a quantity of the inventory item between one and five, and the purchases can occur in one multiple-quantity purchase, or over multiple transactions. If a buyer attempts to purchase one or more of these products, and the cumulative quantity will take the buyer beyond the quantity limit, that buyer will be blocked from that purchase.
regulatory
This container is used by the seller to provide regulatory information.
secondaryCategoryId
The unique identifier for a secondary category. This field is applicable if the seller decides to list the item under two categories. Sellers can use the getCategorySuggestions method of the Taxonomy API to retrieve suggested category ID values. A fee may be charged when adding a secondary category to a listing.

Note: You cannot list US eBay Motors vehicles in two categories. However, you can list Parts & Accessories in two categories.
sku
This is the seller-defined SKU value of the product in the offer.

Max Length: 50
status
The enumeration value in this field specifies the status of the offer - either PUBLISHED or UNPUBLISHED.
storeCategoryNames
array of string
This container is returned if the seller chose to place the inventory item into one or two eBay store categories that the seller has set up for their eBay store. The string value(s) in this container will be the full path(s) to the eBay store categories, as shown below:
"storeCategoryNames": [
"/Fashion/Men/Shirts",
"/Fashion/Men/Accessories" ],
tax
This container is only returned if a sales tax table, a Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate, and/or a tax exception category code was applied to the offer. Only Business Sellers can apply VAT to their listings. It is possible that the applyTax field will be included with a value of true, but a buyer's purchase will not involve sales tax. A sales tax rate must be set up in the seller's sales tax table for the buyer's state/tax jurisdiction in order for that buyer to be subject to sales tax.

See the Using a tax table help page for more information on setting up and using a sales tax table.
