| April 20th 2005 |
| |
| Developer Impact: |
| |
| The new eBay Giving Works program requires modification of current APIs to allow for 3rd parties to list and retrieve charity items. |
| |
| Feature Description: |
| |
| Developers will now be able to list and retrieve charity items. There will be no need for users to list items via MissionFish (our dedicated eBay Giving Works partner). The calls that now support charity listings are: |
| |
- AddItem
- RelistItem
- ReviseItem
- GetItem
- VerifyAddItem
|
| The modifications apply to the SOAP API and New Schema XML API. These features will not be added to the Legacy Schema XML API. We expect to add support for this feature in future versions of the eBay SDK for Windows and eBay SDK for Java. |
| |
| Feature Benefits: |
| |
| Many buyers and sellers are dedicated to charitable giving for a variety of personal and financial reasons. Some buyers and sellers are particularly interested in donating to specific nonprofit organizations. Others just like to donate in general. A buyer may choose to do more business with nonprofit organizations, as well as sellers who give to nonprofit organizations or who support the same causes as the buyer. |
