eBay automatically specifies the available electronic payment methods available for each marketplace.
However, if a new listing supports (or requires) an offline payment, sellers must specify one or more offline payment methods for the listing.
Argument: Item.PaymentMethods
Determine offline payment methods for a category
To determine which offline payment methods are supported for a category, call the Metadata API getCategoryPolicies method for the target marketplace and leaf category. Inspect the categoryPolicies.paymentMethods field in the response to identify the offline payment methods that are supported for that category. After confirming the supported values, specify one or more applicable offline payment methods in the Item.PaymentMethods field of the AddItem (or related) call.
Offline payment methods vary by marketplace and category. Common methods include:
-
CashOnPickup -
MOCC(Money Order or Cashier's/Bank Check) -
PersonalCheck
For additional information about payment methods, refer to Payment methods policy.
