Not getting back SKU from AddFixedItemResponse
Posted: Nov 19, 2009 9:03 AM

I am specifying a SKU in my AddFixedPriceItem requests but the response returns null. This is a problem because I am using Large Merchant Services and can submit many items at once. If one item in a batch fails, how am I supposed to be able to tell which one it is? How can I relate SKUs to ItemIds?

Here is an example of a request going out that does not return a SKU:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BulkDataExchangeRequests xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">

The documentation says that the SKU is conditionally returned "Item-level SKU for the new listing, if the seller specified Item.SKU in the request. Variation SKUs are not returned (see GetItem instead). "

I am specifying the SKU in my item in the request so it seems like I should be getting it returned in the response.

Hi rnelkins,

Welcome to eBay Developer Forums.

IF you notice that, in the request the <InventoryTrackingMethod> is set to ItemID. Hence the <SKU> is not returned in the response.

Try changing the <InventoryTrackingMethod>SKU</InventoryTrackingMethod> and execute the call and you will notice the <SKU> returned in the response.

Have a nice day.
