Fields

SellerPaymentProfile ( SellerPaymentProfileType ) [0..1]
The SellerPaymentProfile container is used in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify API call to reference and use the settings/values of a payment business policy. Payment business policies contain a setting to control whether immediate payment is required, settings to specify due dates for the deposit and full payment of a motor vehicle listing (Motors policy only), and settings to specify which offline payment methods are avaiable to buyers for sales transactions that happen off of eBay's platform. Multiple payment business policies can be created and saved at the account level by sellers.

This container is only returned in 'Get' calls if Business Policies are set for the listing, and the person making the API call is the seller of the listing.

Note: Sellers will never have to specify electronic payment methods, but offline payment methods are required for listings where offline payment is required or supported.

SellerReturnProfile ( SellerReturnProfileType ) [0..1]
The SellerReturnProfile container is used in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify Trading API call to reference and use the settings/values of a return business policy. Return business policies contain detailed information on the seller's return policy for domestic and international buyers (if the seller ships internationally), including whether or not the seller accepts returns from domestic and international buyers, how many days the buyer has to return the item for a refund, and who pays the return shipping costs. Multiple return policy business policies can be created and saved at the account level by sellers.
Note: As a part of Digital Services Act (DSA) requirements, as of April 3, 2023, buyers in the EU must be allowed to return an item within 14 days or more, unless the item is exempt. Where applicable, sellers should update their return policies to reflect this requirement of accepting returns from EU buyers. This update can be made through the ReturnPolicy container or through a return business policy that is referenced through the SellerProfiles.SellerReturnProfile container.

This container is only returned in 'Get' calls if Business Policies are set for the listing and the person making the API call is the seller of the listing.
