eBay : what value should be set for ShippingCostPaidByOption for return policy API

Question

I'm working with ebay Trading API for listing the product but after I'm stucking in it where i need to set value for a option in Return policy Type API, I need to set ShippingCostPaidByOption with value either Paid by buyer or Paid by Seller?

Similarly I need to set RefundOption value either Money or Money or item replace.

Answer 1

To get the applicable RefundOption and ShippingCostPaidByOption values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails, and then look for the ReturnPolicyDetails.Refund.RefundOption and ReturnPolicyDetails.ShippingCostPaidBy.ShippingCostPaidByOption fields in the response. The value of the fields can be used in your AddItem request.

The following example can be used as a request to GeteBayDetails using the eBay API explorer.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GeteBayDetailsRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
    <RequesterCredentials>
        <eBayAuthToken>[ADD YOU OWN AUTH TOKEN</eBayAuthToken>
    </RequesterCredentials>
    <DetailName>ReturnPolicyDetails</DetailName>
</GeteBayDetailsRequest>

A typical response will look like the following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GeteBayDetailsResponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
    <ReturnPolicyDetails>
        <Refund>
            <RefundOption>MoneyBackOrExchange</RefundOption>
            <Description>Money back or exchange (buyer's choice)</Description>
        </Refund>
    </ReturnPolicyDetails>
    <ShippingCostPaidBy>
        <ShippingCostPaidByOption>Buyer</ShippingCostPaidByOption>
        <Description>Buyer</Description>
    </ShippingCostPaidBy>
    </ReturnPolicyDetails>
</GeteBayDetailsResponse>
