New Features - 1.4.0
This section describes new features that have been added as of this release. New features can involve new calls, new capabilities, and/or new fields added to existing calls.
For logical or functional changes to existing features and calls, including code list changes, see Changed Functionality - 1.4.0.
Product Creation
Note: The ability for external users to add products to eBay catalogs has been disabled for many months. The related API calls, addProducts and getProductSubmissions, no longer provide value, so they have been removed from the documentation as of Wednesday, May 14, 2014.Two new operations, addProducts and getProductSubmissions, have been added to the Product API to enable the addition of new products to eBay catalogs for specific categories on the eBay US (global ID EBAY-US) and eBay UK (global ID EBAY-GB) sites.
These added calls work in production and will also be supported in the Sandbox environment starting in September 2011.
Use GetCategoryFeatures in the Trading API to determine which categories support product creation.
Use the getProductMetadataBulk call in the Product Metatadata API to determine which properties can be used to describe a product and which of those properties are required to add a product to the eBay catalog for the given category. The getProductMetadataBulk also provides constraints for the values associated with each property.
