Undocumented field TotalPrice returned by GetMyEbayBuying

The situation:

In my application for each user that login I call getMyeBayBuying to get some info about his buying history.

To give a "rank" to my user I get WonList and for each Item won I get the price by reading ConvertedCurrentPrice or CurrentPrice.
These 2 field do not always contain the real price payed by the user.

For some Items I get the real price in a field called TotalPrice.
I'm not sure but I think this happen for "Buy It Now" auction in which the item is not sold for the "Buy It Now" price (for instance where there are "Best offer")

For istance, for this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280213450341
I get from the API that CurrentPrice is 9,850 $ and TotalPrice 3012.5 $

So, my question is when is TotalPrice returned ?
Is it possible to have it coverted to a different value ?

thanks

Hi hpatoio,

We have evaluating this and will post a System Announcement if it's determined as a bug.

Hello.

Can't see any "System Announcement" yet, do you have news ?

Hi hpatoio,

I took a look at this and didn't think it was a bug. TotalPrice is the price of the item, plus shipping & insurance. Since shipping is also returned as part of the response, it isn't too difficult to determine the cost paid: $3012.50 - $12.5 shipping = $3000.

I did however file a documentation bug, since TotalPrice is undocumented and not well explained. I have not put up a system announcement since I felt the documentation error was a minor issue.

Ok, I hope the documentation will be soon updated.

You didn't answer to 2 of my questions :

1) When is TotalPrice returned ?
2) Is it possible to have it coverted to a different value ?

Thanks
