Browse API Shows Item In Stock when eBay shows Item Unavailable

[pearcefj]

I'm calling https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/get_item_by_legacy_id?legacy_item_id=175883230261 which returns

    "estimatedAvailabilities": [
        {
            "deliveryOptions": [
                "SHIP_TO_HOME",
                "SELLER_ARRANGED_LOCAL_PICKUP"
            ],
            "estimatedAvailabilityStatus": "IN_STOCK",
            "estimatedAvailableQuantity": 1,
            "estimatedSoldQuantity": 0
        }
    ],

However, eBay.com indicates "This listing was ended by the seller on Wed, Jan 24 at 8:14 PM because the item is no longer available."

I rely on the value of estimatedAvailabilityStatus to show items that are in stock.

You can end a listing which  is till in stock.

Can you use the get offer endpoint? It will give you availableQuantity

This issue just happened again but for a different item id, 155328418639.  The listing for this item states "This listing was ended by the seller on Tue, Mar 12 at 5:00 PM because the item is no longer available."

My call, https://api.ebay.com/buy/browse/v1/item/get_item_by_legacy_id?legacy_item_id=155328418639 does not return a sku so I can't make the offer call.

Can you take advantage of mpn field?

Unfortunately, MPN isn't always returned and when it is returned it's usually not the SKU.
