eBay Express Search API Answer

Submitted by on May 10, 2006 – 1:50 pmOne Comment

Today eBay held a Developer Drop-in Q and A with the eBay Express Team. I inquired about the future of eBay Express for eBay Affiliate API users. Here is the question:

“For eBay affiliates, it is my understanding that all purchases on the eBay Express platform will be compensated under the eBay.com Winning Bid Revenue Share tiers.

My question is: How can (or will) eBay Express web services because utilized from an eBay Affiliate standpoint for marketing eBay Express products? “

Here is the response from Elliot on the eBay Express Team:

“Great question. To help affiliates drive traffic to Express, we are working on an Express search API (similar to the existing GetSearchResults) that will allow affiliates to see and drive traffic to Express inventory.

We should be announcing dates for this API soon. “

Thanks Elliot! This is very good news for affiliate API users and e-commerce developers. I’ll keep an eye on the eBay Express API docs.

    Hi,
    I am trying to implement Ebay Express in my application. I almost done this but the department field is not working for all the options. It works for very few options and for the rest, it gives the error message like:

    If you have any idea about this then please help me.

    Thanks
