POST/bulk_create_or_replace_inventory_item
Note: Please note that any eBay listing created using the Inventory API cannot be revised or relisted using the Trading API calls.
Note: Each listing can be revised up to 250 times in one calendar day. If this revision threshold is reached, the seller will be blocked from revising the item until the next calendar day.
This call can be used to create and/or update up to 25 new inventory item records. It is up to sellers whether they want to create a complete inventory item records right from the start, or sellers can provide only some information with the initial bulkCreateOrReplaceInventoryItem call, and then make one or more additional bulkCreateOrReplaceInventoryItem calls to complete all required fields for the inventory item records and prepare for publishing. Upon first creating inventory item records, only the SKU values are required.
Important!Publish offer note: Fields may be optional or conditionally required when calling this method, but become required when publishing the offer to create an active listing. For this method, see Inventory item fields for a list of fields required to publish an offer.
Note: In addition to the
authorization
header, which is required for all eBay REST API calls, this call also requires the Content-Language
and Content-Type
headers. See the HTTP request headers section for more information.In the case of updating existing inventory item records, the bulkCreateOrReplaceInventoryItem call will do a complete replacement of the existing inventory item records, so all fields that are currently defined for the inventory item record are required in that update action, regardless of whether their values changed. So, when replacing/updating an inventory item record, it is advised that the seller run a 'Get' call to retrieve the full details of the inventory item records and see all of its current values/settings before attempting to update the records. Any changes that are made to inventory item records that are part of one or more active eBay listings, a successful call will automatically update these active listings.
The key information that is set with the bulkCreateOrReplaceInventoryItem call include:
- Seller-defined SKU value for the product. Each seller product, including products within an item inventory group, must have their own SKU value.
- Condition of the item
- Product details, including any product identifier(s), such as a UPC, ISBN, EAN, or Brand/Manufacturer Part Number pair, a product description, a product title, product/item aspects, and links to images. eBay will use any supplied eBay Product ID (ePID) or a GTIN (UPC, ISBN, or EAN) and attempt to match those identifiers to a product in the eBay Catalog, and if a product match is found, the product details for the inventory item will automatically be populated.
- Quantity of the inventory item that is available for purchase
- Package weight and dimensions, which is required if the seller will be offering calculated shipping options. The package weight will also be required if the seller will be providing flat-rate shipping services, but charging a weight surcharge.
For those who prefer to create or update a single inventory item record, the createOrReplaceInventoryItem method can be used.
