DESCRIPTION

International Selling

Products propagate from your local selling account to all Ebay sites where you are going to ship your items to:

http://sellercentre.ebay.co.uk/advanced-international-selling

ACCESSORS

Credentials

The following are required for a successful API call.

developer_key

application_key

certificate_key

token

site_id

The id of the site. E.g., Germany is 77.

https://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/merchandising/docs/Concepts/SiteIDToGlobalID.html

xsd_file

Path to the XSD file with the eBay definitions.

http://developer.ebay.com/webservices/latest/ebaySvc.xsd

production

Boolean. Default to false.

By default, the API calls are done against the sandbox. Set it to true in production.

endpoint

Set lazily by the class depending on the production value.

compatibility_level

The version of API and XSD used. Please keep this in sync with the XSD.

last_response

You can get the HTTP::Response object of the last call using this accessor.

last_request

You can get the HTTP::Request object of the last call using this accessor.

last_parsed_response

Return a Marketplace::Ebay::Response object (or undef on failure) out of the return value of the last api_call.

log_file

A filename where to log requests and responses.

name_from_shipping_address

Passed to Marketplace::Ebay::Order. Defaults to true.

METHODS

api_call($name, \%data, \%options)

Do the API call $name with payload in %data. Return the data structure of the Marketplace::Ebay::Response object. In case of failure, return nothing. In this case, you can inspect the details of the failure inspecting, e.g.,

$self->last_response->status_line;

With option requires_struct set to a true value, the method doesn't return the object, but a plain hashref with the structure returned (old behaviour).

With an option no_validate, the XML is parsed using XMLin, not the schema, so the result could be unstable, but on the other hand, you get something out of XML which doesn't comply with the schema.

prepare_xml($name, \%data)

Create the XML document to send for the API call $name.

show_xml_template($call, $call_type)

Utility for development. Show the expected structure for the API call $call. The second argument is optional, and may be Request or Response, defaulting to Request.

log_event(@data)

Append the arguments to the log_file, if it was defined.

CONVENIENCE METHODS

api_call_wrapper($call, $data, @ids)

Call Ebay's API $call with data $data. Then check the response and return it. This ends calling $self->api_call($call, $data), but after that the response is checked and diagnostics are printed out. If you want something quiet and which is not going to die, or you're expecting invalid structures, you should use api_call directly.

Return the response object. If no response object is found, it will die.

api_call_wrapper_silent($call, $data, @ids)

Same as api_call_wrapper, but do not emit "warn" on warnings. Just print them out. Also, do not print ids or fees.

cancel_item($identifier, $id, $reason)

$identifier is mandatory and can be SKU or ItemID (depending if you do tracking by sku (this is possible only if the sku was uploaded with InventoryTrackingMethod = SKU) or by ebay item id. The $id is mandatory and is the sku or the ebay_id.

Reason can be one of the following, defaulting to OtherListingError: Incorrect, LostOrBroken, NotAvailable, OtherListingError, SellToHighBidder, Sold.

It calls EndFixedPriceItem, so this method is useful only for shops.

delete_sku_variations($sku, \@list_of_sku_variations)

It uses ReviseFixedPriceItem to cancel variations of a given sku, not passing asking for a deletion, but instead setting the quantity to 0. This because deleting a variation is not possible if a purchase has been done against it.

get_category_specifics($id)

Return a dump of the structure found in the GetCategorySpecifics

get_orders($number_of_days)

Retrieve the last orders in the last number of days, defaulting to 7. Return a list of Marketplace::Ebay::Order objects. You can access the raw structures with $object->order.

get_orders_for_site

Like get_orders, but filter the orders by the site_id of the object (otherwise you pull the orders from all the international sites).

ebay_site_code_types (internal)

http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/XML/docs/Reference/ebay/types/SiteCodeType.html turned into an hashref to map the site name to an id.

ebay_sites_name_to_id

Return an hashref for mapping ebay site names and abbreviations to a numeric id.

ebay_sites_id_to_name

Return an hashref for mapping ebay site id to its name. # http://developer.ebay.com/devzone/XML/docs/Reference/ebay/types/SiteCodeType.html
