NAME

eBay::API::XML::DataType::OfferType

DESCRIPTION

Contains information pertaining to an offer made on an item listing and the current bidding or purchase state of the listing.

SYNOPSIS

INHERITANCE

eBay::API::XML::DataType::OfferType inherits from the eBay::API::XML::BaseDataType class

Subroutines:

setAction()

Indicates the type of offer being made on the specified listing. If the item is best-offer enabled and the buyer makes a best offer (or counter-offer, etc.), then after the PlaceOffer call, the buyer can get the status of the best offer (and of a possible seller-counter-offer, etc.) using the GetBestOffers call. See the Trading Web Services Guide for information about best-offer enabled items and about GetBestOffers.

getItemID()

# Returns: 'ns:ItemIDType'

setMaxBid()

Amount of the offer placed. For competitive-bidding listings, the amount bid on the item (subject to outbid by other buyers). For fixed-price listings, the fixed sale price at which the item is purchased. For competitive-bidding listings with an active Buy It Now option, this amount will be either the Buy It Now price for purchase or the amount of a bid, depending on the offer type (as specified in Action). For PlaceOffer, the currencyID attribute is ignored if provided. Regarding Value-Added Tax (VAT): Even if VAT applies, you do not need to add VAT to the MaxBid value. If VAT applies to the listing, the seller can specify a VAT percent value when they list the item.
