Tasks

  •   attributeID

    Constant value that identifies the characteristic in a language-independent way.
    Unique within the characteristic set.

    property
  •   dateFormat

    Applicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
    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.

    property
  •   displaySequence

    The suggested order in which the characteristic should be presented
    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.

    property
  •   displayUOM

    Applicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
    The unit of measure (e.g., Inch) to use when the characteristic is numeric indicates a measurement.
    Not returned if not applicable.
    Output only.

    property
  •   label

    Applicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
    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).

    property
  •   sortOrder

    Applicable when working with Pre-filled Item Information (Catalogs) functionality.
    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.

    property
  •   valueList

    List of one or more valid values for the characteristic.
