Tasks
-
attributeIDConstant value that identifies the characteristic in a language-independent way.
property
Unique within the characteristic set. -
dateFormatApplicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
property
Returned if the characteristic is a Date data type. Specifies the pattern
to use when presenting the date to a user. Possible values:
Day/Month/Year, Month/Year, Year Only.
For example, the Year Only format would indicate that the date
should be a value like 1999.
Output only. -
displaySequenceThe suggested order in which the characteristic should be presented
property
to the user in a list. Indicates the relative position of the sort
key in the list of characteristics. The characteristic with the
lowest display sequence is considered the default sort key in calls
to GetProductSearchResults. Aside from that, usage of this display
sequence information is optional. For example, in an application
with a graphical user interface, a characteristic with a display
sequence of 2 could be presented before one with a display sequence
of 3 in a drop-down list. If multiple sort characteristics are
returned for a characteristic set, compare their display sequence
values to determine the lowest available value (usually 0) and the
overall sequence. -
displayUOMApplicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
property
The unit of measure (e.g., Inch) to use when the characteristic is numeric indicates a measurement.
Not returned if not applicable.
Output only. -
labelApplicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
property
The label to display when presenting the attribute to a user.
Not necessarily the same as the attribute’s label as defined in the
characteristic set (i.e., the label could be overridden by the catalog). -
sortOrderApplicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
property
Indicates the order in which eBay’s search engine will sort the results if you
pass this characteristic as a sort attribute in GetProductSearchResults.
You cannot change the sort order of a characteristic when you perform a search.
(Of course, you can change the sort order when you present results in your own application.)
In GetProductSearchPage, if SortOrder is not returned at all, it means the results will be returned
in the order in which they are stored on eBay (which can be useful for
international sites that use ideographic characters).
Output only. -
valueListList of one or more valid values for the characteristic.
