The official documentation of all the APIs offered by Ebay can be found here.

ebay API GetOrders shows wrong result

My objective is to list user’s transactions (both sales and purchases).

I am using GetOrders and specifying a time range to and the call executes successfully but returns 0 transactions, whereas the user I am querying for has multiple purchases on their account.

Let me get a bit more specific. Here is the code that I am using:

<GetOrdersRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
    <eBayAuthToken>......</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<CreateTimeFrom>2009-04-05T05:02:03</CreateTimeFrom>
<CreateTimeTo>2011-12-23T00:02:44</CreateTimeTo>
</GetOrdersRequest>​

And even using the API test tool (Hence, the problem is not language specific) it delivers 0 results:

<GetOrdersResponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<Timestamp>2011-12-23T00:05:32.753Z</Timestamp>
<Ack>Success</Ack>
<Version>753</Version>
<Build>E753_CORE_BUNDLED_14214525_R1</Build>
<PaginationResult>
    <TotalNumberOfPages>0</TotalNumberOfPages>
    <TotalNumberOfEntries>0</TotalNumberOfEntries>
</PaginationResult>
<HasMoreOrders>false</HasMoreOrders>
<OrderArray />
<OrdersPerPage>100</OrdersPerPage>
<PageNumber>1</PageNumber>
<ReturnedOrderCountActual>0</ReturnedOrderCountActual>
</GetOrdersResponse>​`

The user I am querying for has 2 recent purchases dated at:

  • 12/08/11
  • 11/18/11

What am I missing here? I am supplying the time range and the call executes properly, yet it finds 0 results. I’d very much appreciate your help.

    Try including the OrderRole, ie. Buyer or Seller and OrderStatus of either Active or Completed. Something like the following will return completed orders for items purchased by the caller.

    <GetOrdersRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
  <DetailLevel>ReturnAll</DetailLevel>
  <MessageID>cff8bc1c-0475-4d64-a8a5-02757aafd937</MessageID>
  <Version>747</Version>
  <CreateTimeFrom>2012-01-07T14:05:24.6353866Z</CreateTimeFrom>
  <CreateTimeTo>2012-02-07T14:05:24.6353866Z</CreateTimeTo>
  <OrderRole>Buyer</OrderRole>
  <OrderStatus>Completed</OrderStatus>
</GetOrdersRequest>
