XML Payload Reference

This reference describes the elements and attributes for the resources used within LMS feed type data files. Included are Fulfillment upload and report download request payloads and Inventory upload request payloads.

Note: When sending these requests, you must provide an XML declaration (for example, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>) and the objects must be contained within a BulkDataExchangeRequests container (<BulkDataExchangeRequests>...</BulkDataExchangeRequests>). See XML data files overview for additional information.

Note: SOAP is not a supported format for the information within LMS feed type data files.

Note: The requests in the following tables can be used as the 'payload' information within the XML files that are uploaded or downloaded. The Fulfillment upload and report download request payloads cannot be invoked on their own, but the Trading APIs calls contained in the table in Inventory upload request payloads can be invoked individually as trading calls.

Additional resources are available for this API. Please see the eBay Developer Documentation Center.

Note: When sending these calls as requests for LMS feed type data files, you must provide an XML declaration (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>) and the objects must be contained within a BulkDataExchangeRequests container (e.g., <BulkDataExchangeRequests>...</BulkDataExchangeRequests>). See XML data files overview for additional information.

UploadSiteHostedPictures cannot be used in an inventory upload request payload.
