A data file includes the information that a seller wants to pass to or retrieve from the eBay servers.
Each data file needs to contain data for a single seller, but can contain the data for many listings for that seller. The rate limits in the table below are for the Sell Feed task types (for each seller token) associated with each data file.
Each data file can contain thousands of item objects of the same type. For instance, an AddFixedPriceItem data file can contain the data to add thousands of listings to the eBay site for a specific seller.
Data files have a maximum size limit of 15 MB as regular or compressed XML (both formats are allowed), no matter how many requests they contain.
The frequency that each seller can upload or download files varies depending on the feed type within the associated data file. See the table below for the rate limits for each file's feed type. If the limit is exceeded, error 160025 is returned (see Error codes in createTask).
Note: There is a daily limit for each seller of 400 requests per LMS feedType (request type). Additional requests sent by a partner's integration to a limit-maxed seller are counted towards the partner's API level limit.
