This container is used to specify whether the payment business policy applies to motor vehicle listings, or if it applies to non-motor vehicle listings.

Occurrence: Required

Occurrence: Optional

categoryTypes.nameCategoryTypeEnum

The category type to which the policy applies (motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles).

The MOTORS_VEHICLES category type is not valid for return policies. eBay flows do not support the return of motor vehicles.

Occurrence: Required

depositDeposit

This container is used if the seller wants to require an initial deposit on a motor vehicle listing. In this container, the seller sets the deposit amount and the due date for the deposit.

Because eBay controls all electronic payment methods, sellers do not need to specify a payment method and the deposit.paymentMethods array is not needed.

Note: The 'due date' specified in the deposit container will be overridden if the payment business policy requires immediate payment (in this case, for the deposit), and the buyer commits to purchase the motor vehicle through a fixed-price listing or through the 'Buy it Now' option of an auction listing.

Occurrence: Optional

deposit.amountAmount

This value indicates the initial deposit amount required from the buyer in order to purchase a motor vehicle. This value can be as high as $2,000.00 if immediate payment is not required, and up to $500.00 if immediate payment is required.

Sample 1: Update a Payment Policy

This example updates an an existing payment business policy featuring offline payment methods.

Input

This example updates the categoryTypes field in a payment policy, changing it to be the default policy for the ALL_EXCLUDING_MOTORS_VEHICLES category. Note that when you make this update, eBay changes the default status of the existing default policy from true to false.

When updating an existing policy, be sure to provide the entire policy object in your request payload with the changes made to the fields that you want to update. To obtain the existing policy object, call getPaymentPolicy using the ID of the policy you want to update. Use this same policy ID value in the paymentPolicyId path parameter of the PUT request.

Note that you cannot update all the fields in the policy object; for example, you cannot update the policy ID value.

PUThttps://api.sandbox.ebay.com/sell/account/v1/payment_policy/5********0

Output

A successful call returns an HTTP status code of 200 OK and a response body containing the updated payment policy.
