Trading API ShippingDetails Simple Delivery?

Hi,

I want to use eBay's Simple Delivery on listings created via the Trading API. How do I specify this? I can't seem to find the option within ShippingDetails/ShippingServiceOptions.

Thanks

If it's any help, you can still submit the item and use the UI to auto correct it. I assign 'ShippingServiceOptions.ShippingService' as 'UK_RoyalMailTracked' along with all the other 'ShippingPackageDetails' and 'FreeShipping' set as 'false'. However, the item will appear as "+ postage (you pay)" (unless you also submit 'ShippingServiceCost' too, but you don't need to).

I've found that if you submit the item with a schedule, you can then edit the item without it being visible for sale to automatically correct this. You don't have to change anything. You should see that the simple delivery and "who pays" now listed as "Buyer Pays". Simply save the item and ebay corrects everything and should now appear as "+ postage (buyer pays)". I know it's not perfect, it's a work around.

Hi @maxpedals ,

Thank you for your post!

We would like to inform you that the Simple Delivery is designed for listings created through the Seller Hub UI and is not currently supported via API, including the Trading API.

For further reference, please review the given documentation:
