Developer Impact: Closing eBay Express

eBay is taking the learnings and the best  features from eBay Express and integrating those into the eBay site. eBay Express is not needed as a separate site  anymore, so we are closing it as of 9/15.

Developer impact

We are deprecating the following API calls (we will send warning  message):

  • GetExpressWishlist
  • SetCart
  • GetCart
  • GetSearchResultsExpress

We are deprecating the Express  functionality; not API calls:

  • GetUserPreferences/ExpressPreferences
  • GetUser
  • AddItem

If your AddItem call contains Express-specific elements after the site is closed, your AddItem call will not fail. The item will just be listed on the eBay site only.

For more details, see the Trading API Release Notes, and the list of Deprecated Objects. Also see "Closing eBay Express: best features now on eBay."
