Description

The Negotiations API gives sellers the ability to proactively send discount offers to buyers who have shown an "interest" in their listings.

By sending buyers discount offers on listings where they have shown an interest, sellers can increase the velocity of their sales.

There are various ways for a buyer to show interest in a listing. For example, if a buyer adds the listing to their Watch list, or if they add the listing to their shopping cart and later abandon the cart, they are deemed to have shown an interest in the listing.

In the offers that sellers send, they can discount their listings by either a percentage off the listing price, or they can set a new discounted price that is lower than the original listing price.

For details about how seller offers work, see Sending offers to buyers.

findEligibleItems

This method evaluates a seller's current listings and returns the set of IDs that are eligible for a seller-initiated discount offer to a buyer. A listing ID is returned only when one or more buyers have shown an "interest" in the listing. If any buyers have shown interest in a listing, the seller can initiate a "negotiation" with them by calling sendOfferToInterestedBuyers, which sends all interested buyers a message that offers the listing at a discount. For details about how to create seller offers to buyers, see Sending offers to buyers.

ebay_sell_negotiation.findEligibleItems({
  "X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID": ""
}, context)

Input

• input object
  • limit string: This query parameter specifies the maximum number of items to return from the result set on a page in the paginated response. Minimum: 1    Maximum: 200 Default: 10
  • offset string: This query parameter specifies the number of results to skip in the result set before returning the first result in the paginated response. Combine offset with the limit query parameter to control the items returned in the response. For example, if you supply an offset of 0 and a limit of 10, the first page of the response contains the first 10 results from the complete list of items retrieved by the call. If offset is 10 and limit is 20, the first page of the response contains items 11-30 from the complete result set. Default: 0
  • X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID required string: The eBay marketplace on which you want to search for eligible listings. For a complete list of supported marketplaces, see Negotiation API requirements and restrictions.

Output

• output PagedEligibleItemCollection

sendOfferToInterestedBuyers

This method sends eligible buyers offers to purchase items in a listing at a discount. When a buyer has shown interest in a listing, they become "eligible" to receive a seller-initiated offer to purchase the item(s). Sellers use findEligibleItems to get the set of listings that have interested buyers. If a listing has interested buyers, sellers can use this method (sendOfferToInterestedBuyers) to send an offer to the buyers who are interested in the listing. The offer gives buyers the ability to purchase the associated listings at a discounted price. For details about how to create seller offers to buyers, see Sending offers to buyers.

ebay_sell_negotiation.sendOfferToInterestedBuyers({
  "X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID": ""
}, context)

Input

• input object
  • X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID required string: The eBay marketplace on which your listings with "eligible" buyers appear. For a complete list of supported marketplaces, see Negotiation API requirements and restrictions.
