getListingViolationsSummary
Isolated FunctionRemote Function
function getListingViolationsSummary(string? xEbayCMarketplaceId, string? complianceType) returns ComplianceSummary|error?This call returns listing violation counts for a seller. A user can pass in one or more compliance types through the compliance_type query parameter. See ComplianceTypeEnum for more information on the supported listing compliance types. Listing violations are returned for multiple marketplaces if the seller sells on multiple eBay marketplaces. Note: Only a canned response, with counts for all listing compliance types, is returned in the Sandbox environment. Due to this limitation, the compliance_type query parameter (if used) will not have an effect on the response.
Parameters
- xEbayCMarketplaceId string? (default ()) - Use this header to specify the eBay marketplace identifier. Supported values for this header can be found in the MarketplaceIdEnum type definition. Note that Version 1.4.0 of the Compliance API is only supported on the US, UK, Australia, Canada {English), and Germany sites.
- complianceType string? (default ()) - A user passes in one or more compliance type values through this query parameter. See ComplianceTypeEnum for more information on the supported compliance types that can be passed in here. If more than one compliance type value is used, delimit these values with a comma. If no compliance type values are passed in, the listing count for all compliance types will be returned. Note: Only a canned response, with counts for all listing compliance types, is returned in the Sandbox environment. Due to this limitation, the compliance_type query parameter (if used) will not have an effect on the response.
Return Type
- ComplianceSummary|error? - Success
getListingViolations
Isolated FunctionRemote Function
function getListingViolations(string xEbayCMarketplaceId, string? complianceType, string? offset, string? listingId, string? 'limit, string? filter) returns PagedComplianceViolationCollection|error?This call returns specific listing violations for the supported listing compliance types. Only one compliance type can be passed in per call, and the response will include all the listing violations for this compliance type, and listing violations are grouped together by eBay listing ID. See ComplianceTypeEnum for more information on the supported listing compliance types. This method also has pagination control. Note: A maximum of 2000 listing violations will be returned in a result set. If the seller has more than 2000 listing violations, some/all of those listing violations must be corrected before additional listing violations will be retrieved. The user should pay attention to the total value in the response. If this value is '2000', it is possible that the seller has more than 2000 listing violations, but this field maxes out at 2000. Note: In a future release of this API, the seller will be able to pass in a specific eBay listing ID as a query parameter to see if this specific listing has any violations. Note: Only mocked non-compliant listing data will be returned for this call in the Sandbox environment, and not specific to the seller. However, the user can still use this mock data to experiment with the compliance type filters and pagination control.
Parameters
- xEbayCMarketplaceId string - This header is required and is used to specify the eBay marketplace identifier. Supported values for this header can be found in the MarketplaceIdEnum type definition. Note that Version 1.4.0 of the Compliance API is only supported on the US, UK, Australia, Canada {English), and Germany sites.
- complianceType string? (default ()) - A seller uses this query parameter to retrieve listing violations of a specific compliance type. Only one compliance type value should be passed in here. See ComplianceTypeEnum for more information on the compliance types that can be passed in here. If the listing_id query parameter is used, the compliance_type query parameter {if passed in) will be ignored. This is because all of a listing's policy violations {each compliance type) will be returned if a listing_id is provided. Either the listing_id or a compliance_type query parameter must be used, and if the seller only wants to view listing violations of a specific compliance type, both of these parameters can be used. Note: The listing_id query parameter is not yet available for use, so the seller does not have the ability to retrieve listing violations for one or more specific listings. Until the listing_id query parameter becomes available, the compliance_type query parameter is required with each getListingViolations call.
- offset string? (default ()) - The integer value input into this field controls the first listing violation in the result set that will be displayed at the top of the response. The offset and limit query parameters are used to control the pagination of the output. For example, if offset is set to 10 and limit is set to 10, the call retrieves listing violations 11 thru 20 from the resulting set of violations. Note: This feature employs a zero-based index, where the first item in the list has an offset of 0. If the listing_id parameter is included in the request, this parameter will be ignored. Default: 0 {zero)
- listingId string? (default ()) - Note: This query parameter is not yet supported for the Compliance API. Please note that until this query parameter becomes available, the compliance_type query parameter is required with each getListingViolations call. This query parameter is used if the user wants to view all listing violations for one or more eBay listings. The string value passed into this field is the unique identifier of the listing, sometimes referred to as the Item ID. Either the listing_id or a compliance_type query parameter must be used, and if the seller only wants to view listing violations of a specific compliance type, both of these parameters can be used. Up to 50 listing IDs can be specified with this query parameter, and each unique listing ID is separated with a comma.
- 'limit string? (default ()) - This query parameter is used if the user wants to set a limit on the number of listing violations that are returned on one page of the result set. This parameter is used in conjunction with the offset parameter to control the pagination of the output. For example, if offset is set to 10 and limit is set to 10, the call retrieves listing violations 11 thru 20 from the collection of listing violations that match the value set in the compliance_type parameter. Note: This feature employs a zero-based index, where the first item in the list has an offset of 0. If the listing_id parameter is included in the request, this parameter will be ignored. Default: 100 Maximum: 200
- filter string? (default ()) - This filter allows a user to retrieve only listings that are currently out of compliance, or only listings that are at risk of becoming out of compliance. Although other filters may be added in the future, complianceState is the only supported filter type at this time. The two compliance 'states' are OUT_OF_COMPLIANCE and AT_RISK. Below is an example of how to set up this compliance state filter. Notice that the filter type and filter value are separated with a colon (:) character, and the filter value is wrapped with curly brackets. filter=complianceState:{OUT_OF_COMPLIANCE}
Return Type
- PagedComplianceViolationCollection|error? - Success
suppressViolation
Isolated FunctionRemote Function
function suppressViolation(SuppressViolationRequest payload) returns Response|errorThis call suppresses a listing violation for a specific listing. Only listing violations in the AT_RISK state (returned in the violations.complianceState field of the getListingViolations call) can be suppressed. Note: At this time, the suppressViolation call only supports the suppressing of ASPECTS_ADOPTION listing violations in the AT_RISK state. In the future, it is possible that this method can be used to suppress other listing violation types. A successful call returns a http status code of 204 Success. There is no response payload. If the call is not successful, an error code will be returned stating the issue.
Parameters
- payload SuppressViolationRequest - This type is the base request type of the SuppressViolation method.
Records

This type is used by the aspectsRecommendation container, which is returned if eBay has found a listing with missing or invalid item aspects (ASPECTS_ADOPTION compliance type).
Fields
- localizedAspectName? string - The name of the item aspect for which eBay has a recommendation. In many cases, the same item aspect(s) that are returned under the violationData array for ASPECTS_ADOPTION listing violations are also returned here Note: This name is always localized for the specified marketplace.
- suggestedValues? string[] - One or more valid values for the corresponding item aspect (in localizedAspectName) are returned here. These suggested values for the item aspect depend on the listing category and on the information specified in the listing. Sellers should confirm accuracy of the values before applying them to the listing. Please use getItemAspectsForCategory in the Taxonomy API or GetCategorySpecifics in the Trading API to get a comprehensive list of required and recommended aspects for a given category and a list of supported aspect values for each.
ebay.compliance: ClientHttp1Settings
Closed record
Provides settings related to HTTP/1.x protocol.
Fields

- chunking Chunking(default http:CHUNKING_AUTO) - The chunking behaviour of the request
- proxy? ProxyConfig - Proxy server related options
ebay.compliance: ComplianceDetail
This type is used by each listing violation that is returned under the violations container.
Fields
- reasonCode? string - This value states the nature of the listing violation. A reasonCode value is returned for each listing violation, and each compliance type can have several reason codes and related messages. The reasonCode values vary by compliance type. The reason codes for each compliance type are summarized below. Aspects adoption The reason codes for ASPECTS_ADOPTION compliance indicate that for the given violation, aspects listed in the violationData container are either missing from the listing or they have invalid values. The reason codes specify whether the violation is for required aspects, recommended (preferred) aspects, or soon to be required aspects. MISSING_OR_INVALID_REQUIRED_ASPECTS MISSING_OR_INVALID_PREFERRED_ASPECTS MISSING_OR_INVALID_SOON_TO_BE_REQUIRED_ASPECTS HTTPS The reason codes for HTTPS compliance identify where in the listing the violation occurs. For HTTPS policy violations, the seller will just need to remove the HTTP link (or update to HTTPS) from the listing details or product details: NON_SECURE_HTTP_LINK_IN_LISTING NON_SECURE_HTTP_LINK_IN_PRODUCT Non-eBay links The reason codes for OUTSIDE_EBAY_BUYING_AND_SELLING compliance identify the specific type of data (e.g., telephone number) that violated the policy. For each of these violations, the seller will just need to revise the listing, removing this information: UNAPPROVED_DOMAIN_WEBLINK_IN_LISTING PHONE_NUMBER_IN_LISTING EMAIL_ADDRESS_IN_LISTING Product adoption Product Adoption is not enforced at this time. Product adoption conformance Product Adoption is not enforced at this time. Returns policy The only RETURNS_POLICY reason code is UNSUPPORTED_RETURNS_PERIOD. The seller will have to revise their listing (or return business policy) with a supported return period for the site and category. The GetCategoryFeatures call of the Trading API can be used to verify the supported return periods for a particular category. For most eBay categories, the minimum return period that can be stated in a Returns Policy is 14 days for domestic and international sales, but some categories require a minimum 30-day return period.
- message? string - This field provides a textual summary of the listing violation. A message field is returned for each listing violation. This message will vary widely based on the compliance type and corresponding reason code.
- variation? VariationDetails - This type is used to identify the product variation that has the listing violation.
- violationData? NameValueList[] - This container provides more information about the listing violation, if applicable. The type of information that appears here will vary based on the compliance type and type of violation. For example, for ASPECTS_ADOPTION violations, this container lists the missing aspect(s) or aspect(s) with invalid values.
- correctiveRecommendations? CorrectiveRecommendations - This type is used by the correctiveRecommendations container, which is returned if eBay has suggestions for how to correct the given violation.
- complianceState? string - The enumeration value returned in this field indicates if the listing violation is considered to be OUT_OF_COMPLIANCE with an eBay listing policy, or the listing is considered to be AT_RISK of becoming non-compliant against an eBay listing policy. Generally, OUT_OF_COMPLIANCE policy violations can prevent the seller from revising a listing until the underlying violation(s) can be remedied. When the compliance state is AT_RISK, the seller is not blocked from revising the listing, but the seller should correct the violation to prevent the listing from being blocked for revisions in the future. Note: This field is returned for most violations, but not all. In the case that this field is not returned, it can be assumed that the state of the listing violation is OUT_OF_COMPLIANCE.

The compliance type for each listing violation is found in the complianceType field under the listingViolations array in a getListingViolations response. Note: At this time, the suppressViolation method is only used to suppress aspect adoption listing violations in the 'at-risk' state, so ASPECTS_ADOPTION is currently the only supported value for this field. For implementation help, refer to <a href='https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/compliance/types/com:ComplianceTypeEnum'>eBay API documentation</a>
- listingId? string - The unique identifier of the listing with the violation(s) is specified in this field. The unique identifier of the listing with the listing violation(s) is found in the listingId field under the listingViolations array in a getListingViolations response.
