PUT /item_price_markdown/{promotion_id}

This path parameter takes a concatenation of the ID of the promotion you want to update plus the marketplace ID on which the promotion is hosted. Concatenate the two values by separating them with an "at sign" (@).

The ID of the promotion (promotionId) is a unique eBay-assigned value that's generated when the promotion is created. The Marketplace ID is the ENUM value of eBay marketplace where the promotion is hosted.

Example: 1********5@EBAY_US

Default value: "application/json"

Note that you must set this value to SCHEDULED when you update a RUNNING promotion. For implementation help, refer to eBay API documentation

The date and time the promotion ends, in UTC format (yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ). The value supplied for endDate must be at least 24 hours after the value supplied for the startDate of the markdown promotion.

Note: Offer-type text is a teaser that's presented throughout the buyer's journey through the sales flow and is generated by eBay. This text is not editable by the seller—it's derived from the settings in the discountRules and discountSpecification fields—and can be, for example, "20% off".

• These options are also available for the US marketplace:
  • See Category Changes for the latest list of category IDs.
