Issue with Categorization of Fees. Store Membership and Offsite Ad Fees are both "Other", Can fix?
I am developing a comprehensive accounting system geared toward eBay and I'm on the final leg, bookkeeping of fees via API calls. I have noticed a serious issue with regards to categorizing fees which severely hinders my ability to properly identify what the fees are for from the API response. It seems all new fees from new features seem to fall into the "Other" category and are not properly identified in the API response.
So far I have realized that the following fees fall into the "OTHER" category:
eBay Store Membership Fees - could go into it's own category "Membership" or something
Off-Site Promotion Fees - could go into Ad Fee category, or a new "Off-Site Ad Fee" category
Regular promoted listings show as "other fees" on the site, but are categorized as "AD_FEE" in the API response. It would be great if we could get an "OFFSITE_AD_FEE" category for the API response, or at least have them fall under "AD_FEE".
Would it be possible for you to fix this on the API side so that these fees can be differentiated from eachother? Or is there some other identifier I could use to properly identify and categorize the fees in my system aside from the fee_type?
Thank you for your consideration and any advice anyone can provide!

·1 year agoI would like to know if this can be done also. Seems odd that membership fees and off-site ad fees both don't have categories. There should be an Advertising and a Subscription category.
