eBay API: How do I specify "Standard Shipping (FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery®)" as a shipping service?

I am wondering how I specify “Standard Shipping (FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery®)” as a shipping service using the eBay API. Can anyone provide any pointers? All of the samples just use the “Standard Shipping” option.

    You can find all available shipping methods in the documentation of ShippingServiceCodeType.

    Beware to use the correct ones of the site id where item will be placed.

    You need to specify FedExHomeDelivery. A table of shipping services for most eBay sites can be found here. Simply use the values in the ID for importing column for your eBay API calls.

    As the types of shipping services change over time you may wish to periodically retrieve the latest services via the API as follows.

    • For each eBay site that you are interested in make a call to GeteBayDetails with a DetailName value of ShippingServiceDetails.
    • In the results iterate over all the ShippingServiceDetails elements. Each one is a shipping service for the site that you specified.
    • Important properties for each service that you will need to check are,
      • ValidForSellingFlow – If this set to ‘true’ the service can be used in the Add/Revise/Relist API calls otherwise you can not use it.
      • Description – You can use this value when presenting services to a user. The text should match what users see when listing via eBay.
      • ShippingService – This is the value that you want to use in your API calls.
