I would like to create a listing ebay draft as it is possible to do manually using this flow:
Go to the new listing sell creation page
Choose category id
Put some random data (title, description, etc.)
Close tab
You will see now unfinished draft, when you go to the new listing sell creation page.
Can I do the same thing using eBay api?
The reason of it is that I don't want to implement all functionality of addItem, currently.
eBay API will not allow to create draft listing.
when you call API for creating new listing, API needs all required fields value.
eBay Listing API provide one attribute PrivateListing.it will hide your product for selling.
If PrivateListing is true, designates the listing as private.customer can't see private listing.
eBay Listing API provide one more attribute ScheduleTime.
When you export product in eBay via API you can give ScheduleTime as well, eBay will active product for selling based on ScheduleTime.
You can make product inactive/draft using this alternative way.

You can refer above link for eBay API.
As of now, I can confirm eBay does provide the API to create listing draft, though it's in beta at the moment.
POST - /item_draft/
Official doc is here
To my knowledge this cannot be done, since there are some pretty strict constraints around using the addItem API call, and eBay will throw an error if you don't complete the all the required fields. The required fields of addItem are numerous enough that if you could populate these fields, then you are already 90% of the way to completing your listing anyways.
If you are using Selling Manager Pro, you can create product templates which may be a way to accomplish what you are looking for.

Using the Ebay Api I want to query whether any listings have promoted listings associated with them.
Using the Marketing API I've tried: getCampaigns and getPromotions.
On the Trading API I've tried: getPromotionalSaleDetails.
The standard getSellerList call doesn't return promoted listing data.
I'm hoping there is an API call that will return all listings that have "promoted listings" on them, or a list of campaigns that will give me an id number that I can use to look up the relevant listings.
Edit
According to the documentation for the getCampaign api call, campaigns created through the eBay website ("eBay web flow") are not returned via this method. Of course, all the campaigns I want to retrieve were created via the eBay website. And the documentation doesn't point the developer to where this data can be retrieved. Probably because it doesn't exist. The eBay forum mentions this.
On this page https://stencil.bigcommerce.com/docs/product-resources BigCommerce has mentioned that Product Object has "Options" but in the theme, I am not able to retrieve anything from options property. I am trying to access this in Category Page.
I want to do above because I have to add product attributes on product listing page "templates\components\products\card.html". I need this here because I have to remove quick view option and directly put the product option under product title on this page. Over here I am able to get product's id, name, sku etc but not getting any properties from product options.
I have already asked to BigCommerce Support team and they don't have any solutions and referred me to check here.
The category page calls the common product card model, which does not include the product options property:
https://stencil.bigcommerce.com/docs/common-product-card-model
To get product option data on the category page, you'll need to call the API. One lightweight solution for handling this is to use AWS Lambda with Amazon API Gateway. API Gateway defines an endpoint URL that you can use to trigger a Lambda function that runs a request to the BigCommerce API for product data.

I working on Magento with carts. I using SOAP to create cart and add products to it. but can i get list of carts. And how to active it.
In dashboard of magento admin, i see
Reports > Shopping Cart > Abandoned Carts
with list of carts is active. Can i get it?
Thank a lot, sorry for my bad english.
If you want to see how the query behind the report is generated, have a look at https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/83132783e0a6bed32c45e6d06df851865e668abc/app/code/Magento/Reports/Model/Resource/Quote/Collection.php#L54 - this is the code that forms the query. You can see the table fields it uses (e.g. checking if is_active, must be at least one item in cart, etc), then sorts by updated_at so oldest cart comes up first.
There is also a blog post at http://cyrillschumacher.com/2015/01/02/magento2---search-parameters-for-the-rest-api/ which describes (for the REST API) how to build a search. It is backed by the same data constructs as for SOAP.
You can use the end point http:///soap/default?wsdl&services=quoteCartRepositoryV1 to bring up the WSDL file.
Sorry, I don't have time right now to build up the SOAP request myself, but hopefully these pointers are useful to help you make some progress.
I have a webshop and im almost there, but I have a number of items for purchase which are downloadable content. I fixed so when a user has paid they are redirected to my pdt.php where they get a receipt, Now I written code for also displaying content if the item-id are == something. Now I wanna make a sandbox/test-purchase of all products that are downloadable ontent which are 28. I can create 28 buttons and have the id 1-28 but that seems stupid. How can I do this easier?
Check out the cart upload command method of sending transaction data to PayPal. It's similar to standard buttons except that you'll include all items in a single form.
Alternatively, if you're familiar with web service API's I'd recommend using the Express Checkout API. This gives you more freedom over your checkout and provides more advanced features as well.
My scenario: I have a client with an eBay store with custom categories. On their website, they would like to list the items they have for sale. They would like this list to be filterable by custom category.
I've been searching for a couple days now, and I'm still a bit unsure about the best way to proceed.
From what I can gather, the only way to get a list of categories defined in a store is through the GetStore call in the Trading API. This seems to be supported, though I need to get a user token from my client's eBay account. I will assume this works.
I do not, however, see any method of filtering items based on custom categories. I've looked through the documentation of both the Trading and Finding APIs, but all I see are filters on pre-defined eBay categories.
Is it possible to filter on custom/store categories?
I had a task to link seller products to custom categories and the only way I found is to retrieve a list of custom categories with "GetStore" from Trading API, retrieve all seller items with "findItemsAdvanced" call form Finding API, and loop through all retrieved items and get details with "GetItem" call from Trading API.
After that I could find custom categories under $xml->Item->Storefront->StoreCategoryID and $xml->Item->Storefront->StoreCategory2ID.
After digging through and posting in the eBay forums, I found out that no, it is not possible to filter on custom/store defined categories via the API. The only way to filter on custom/store defined categories is on the eBay hosted store.
This is apparently eBay's way to make the store hosted on their site more feature rich than anything you can do via the API.
Even though this question is old, I believe it interesting to give a more recent answer. As stated above, you cannot directly filter items sold by a store using custom store categories (StoreCategoryID). The easiest way to work around this is using the GetSellerList API using a coarse granularity level, which allows you to get the storeCategoryID of each Item on sale within a starting time range or an end time range. You can then filter the items yourself. Here's a link to a forum answer: https://ebay.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1178
Yes no way to get items by Custom categories.
It sounds like either getCategoryInfo or GetCategories might help you.
