A lot is a set of two or more similar items that must be purchased together in a single transaction. A listing can have multiple lots (instead of multiple items). When an item's LotSize is specified, the listing price reflects the price of each lot (not each item within the lot). In this case, Quantity indicates the number of lots being listed, and LotSize indicates the number of items in each lot. Now when you call GetSingleItem or GetMultipleItems, LotSize will be returned within the Item container.
The ListedShippingServiceCost is the listed shipping cost for an item. If multiple items were purchased, this cost includes the listed ShippingServiceAdditionalCost. These costs are now returned as part of the ShippingCostSummary, when they have been included or calculated as part of the listing data. In FindItemsAdvanced and GetShippingCosts, this field is always returned. For GetSingleItem, this is always returned when ShippingCostSummary is returned, except when the ShippingType is Freight. Other calls that return this field as part of the ShippingCostSummary include: FindItems, FindPopularItems, FindHalfProducts, and FindProducts.

The response for the FindHalfProducts call has been updated with two new elements: Quantity and PositiveFeedbackPercent.
The Quantity element returns the number of currently available items in the listing. PositiveFeedbackPercent returns the seller's positive feedback score, calculated by dividing the seller's positive feedback score by their negative feedback score. The last 12 months of feedback scores are taken into consideration for this calculation.

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 RedShooting Star used to appear when feedback scores were 100,000 and above. However, since eBay has so many top sellers now, two new ratings have been added. Now the RedShooting Star appears for feedback scores from 100,000 to 499,999; a new GreenShooting Star appears for feedback scores from 500,000 to 999,999; and a new SilverShooting Star appears for feedback scores that are 1,000,000 and above.
Developers can now request the HandlingTime value for both GetSingleItem and GetMultipleItems. The Handling Time is a period set by the seller to signify the time it will take to package and prepare an item before shipping.
GetMultipleItems now includes a new ShippingCostSummary field when the IncludeSelector is set to 'ShippingCosts'.
You can now search for items based on BestOffer or by excluding some category IDs. Specify a CategoryIDExclude value in your request if you want search results to be filtered so that the search results do not include items that belong to the specified category.
The GetUserProfile response now includes a PositiveFeedbackPercent field, which is the percent of a user's total feedback that is positive. For example, if the user has 50 feedback entries, where 49 are positive and 1 is neutral or negative, the positive feedback percent would be 98.0. If the user has feedback, this value is returned. It is not returned if the user has no feedback.

Multi-variation listings contain items that are logically the same product, but that vary in their manufacturing details (such as color), and optionally price and quantity. For example, a seller could create one listing with shirts that are all the same brand and style, and then organize them into a variation (a subset) with 20 large, blue shirts for $20.00 each and another variation with 15 medium, black shirts for $9.99 each. A listing can include up to 120 variations over its lifetime.
This feature will be available soon in the Sandbox, and then available in production in a subsequent release. Keep an eye on the eBay Developers Program newsletter for details.
GetSingleItem and GetMultipleItems supports a new IncludeSelector value of Variations to retrieve all variations. GetSingleItem also supports VariationSpecifics in the request to request a particular variation. Both calls return a new Item.Variations node in the response when variations are present in a listing.
Please note the following behavioral changes, in case you need to make adjustments to how your application currently interprets data returned by eBay:
In GetSingleItem and related calls, eBay calculates the listing price based on the the lowest-price variation. In the shirt example above, this means prices like ConvertedCurrentPrice and CurrentPrice would be $9.99.
Search calls like FindItems and FindItemsAdvanced return each variation as a separate item result. This means multiple results can have the same ItemID, EndTime, and TimeLeft in the same response. When this occurs, the ViewItemURLForNaturalSearch links to a view of the View Item page that is configured to show you the relevant variation. Unlike GetSingleItem, ConvertedCurrentPrice returns the price of the variation returned (not the lowest price across the item).
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.
When you use FindItemsAdvanced, if a query normally would return more than 10,000 items, only the first 10,000 items are returned. This limit is independent of the value you specify in the MaxEntries field.
