Description
bidPercentage
The updated bid percentage value for the specified ad in the specified campaign. The bid percentage (also known as the ad rate) is a user-defined value which sets the level that eBay increases the visibility in search results for the associated listing. The higher the bidPercentage value, the more eBay promotes the listing.

The value specified here is also used to calculate the Promoted Listings fee. This percentage value is multiplied by the final sales price to determine the fee.

The Promoted Listings fee is determined at the time the transaction completes and the seller is assessed the fee only when an item sells through a Promoted Listings ad campaign.

The bidPercentage is a single precision value that is guided by the following rules:
  • These values are valid:
       4.1,    5.0,    5.5, ...
  • These values are not valid:
       0.01,    10.75,    99.99,
       and so on.

Note: This field has a minimum value of 2.0 and a maximum value of 100.0.
