This section describes new features that have been added as of this release. New features can involve new calls, new capabilities, and/or new fields added to existing calls.
For logical or functional changes to existing features and calls, including code list changes, see Changed Functionality - 1.2.0.
Two new calls, getBillingRecords and getBillingStatements, let you get summary and detailed billing statement information about a user's subscription account. The information retrieved matches what is displayed on the billing statements that subscribers view in their MyeBay page. These calls are intended to help you support your subscribers, to be used if, for example, a user contacts you with questions about a charge or a statement.
These two calls are intended to be used together to retrieve summary and detailed billing statement information about a user's subscription account. Generally, you would call getBillingStatements first, to retrieve summary information about billing statements for a subscriber, and then use getBillingRecords to retrieve detailed information about a record or records.
The addCredit request enables you to submit a credit request to the system to adjust a user's billing statement balance, or to adjust particular line item charges on a billing statement. You retrieve the information needed for an addCredit request via the getBillingStatements and getBillingRecordcalls. Note that requested credits are not applied to a subscriber's statement immediately. eBay processes addCredit requests within about a week.
The getCredits request retrieves information about the disposition of a particular credit request. You can use it to find out if there was there a problem with the processing of the credit. It returns the state of the credit request.
The setBillingStartDate request lets you start a user's subscription before the end of the mandatory free trial period, at the subscriber's request. The call can only be made during the free trial period, and only once per subscription. It is designed to meet the needs of applications that offer restricted access during the free trial period. If a user in a free trial period wants to switch to full access, you use this call to set the user's start date so you can submit a an addUsage request or begin the full-access subscription and charges. The billing start date needs to be in the present or the past before the subscriber can be charged for usage or subscription.
The call may be triggered by a button within the user interface of the application, clicked by a free-trial user who intends to upgrade to a full-access subscription.
The immediate payment option in the addUsage request has been validated for production.
This section describes logical or functional changes that have been made to existing functionality, including new code list values and/or changes in validation rules.

The element immediatePayment is now activated for use in the addUsage request. Setting this element's value to true will require immediate payment for specific usage. immediatePayment is designed to charge for usage such as the printing of shipping labels, when you want to guarantee payment before printing the label.
These calls were provided in this release.
