A new intermediated international shipping program has been added
A new intermediated international shipping program called eBay International Shipping is available. On the US marketplace, the Global Shipping Program is scheduled to be replaced by this new intermediated shipping program (eBay International Shipping). US Sellers opted in to the Global Shipping Program will automatically get opted into eBay International Shipping once it becomes available to them. All US sellers will be migrated by March 31, 2023. As long as the US seller's account is opted in to eBay International Shipping, this shipping option will be automatically enabled for all listings where international shipping is available.
Support for eBay International Shipping has been added to GetOrders, GetSellerTransactions, GetItemTransactions, and GetOrderTransactions calls. The eBay International Shipping partner's address is shown in the MultiLegShippingDetails.SellerShipmentToLogisticsProvider.ShipToAddress container. Additionally, similar to the ReferenceID field provided for the Global Shipping Program, the eBay Virtual Tracking number (eVTN) that is used for the domestic leg of the shipment is appended to the Street2 field (not in the ReferenceID field).

Four Store Calls Scheduled for Decommission on September 30

- CustomHeader (string)
- CustomHeaderLayout (enum)

HitCounter field removed from WSDL
The HitCounter field has been removed from the WSDL. It can no longer be used in Add/Revise calls, nor will it be returned in GetItem, GetBidderList, GetSellerEvents, or GetSellerList.
HitCount field updates
The HitCount field will no longer be returned in GetItem or GetBidderList, but it will continue to be returned in GetSellerEvents and GetSellerList, but with a logic change. Instead of the HitCount value representing the lifetime hit count for listings, the value will be the total number of page hits within the latest 30-day period.
Quantity and StartPrice no longer returned in ReviseInventoryStatus
The Quantity and StartPrice fields will no longer be returned in the ReviseInventoryStatus response. However, these fields will function the same as before in ReviseInventoryStatus request. If users would like to verify if their price and/or quanity changes were successfully pushed out to the listing (or variation within a listing), they can use the GetItem call to verify the changes.

HitCounter and HitCount Fields Deprecated
Hit counters are no longer displayed in View Item pages, so the HitCounter and HitCount fields are no longer applicable and are scheduled for decommission. For developers/sellers who are interested in seeing page views and listing performance, the getTrafficReport method of the Sell Analytics API can be used.
Currently, if the HitCounter field is used in the request payload of an add/revise/relist/verify call, the field will be ignored and a warning message will be returned.
Until both fields are decommissioned, the HitCounter and HitCount fields will still be returned in GetItem, GetBidderList, GetSellerEvents, and GetSellerList. For HitCounter, the default value for the marketplace will be returned, such as NoHitCounter or HiddenStyle.
