--- title: "PUT /payment_policy/{payment_policy_id}" method: PUT path: "/payment_policy/{payment_policy_id}" tags: ["payment_policy"] --- # PUT /payment_policy/{payment_policy_id} `PUT /payment_policy/{payment_policy_id}` This method updates an existing payment policy. Specify the policy you want to update using the payment_policy_id path parameter. Supply a complete policy payload with the updates you want to make; this call overwrites the existing policy with the new details specified in the payload. ## Path parameters - `payment_policy_id` string, required ## Request body - PaymentPolicyRequest — This root container defines a seller's payment business policy for a specific marketplace and category group. This type is used when creating or updating a payment business policy. - `categoryTypes` CategoryType[] — This container is used to specify whether the payment business policy applies to motor vehicle listings, or if it applies to non-motor vehicle listings. - `default` boolean — Note: This field has been deprecated and is no longer used.

Do not include this field in any create or update method.
This field may be returned within the payload of a get method, but it can be ignored.

- `name` string — The category type to which the policy applies (motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles).

The MOTORS_VEHICLES category type is not valid for return policies. eBay flows do not support the return of motor vehicles. For implementation help, refer to eBay API documentation - `deposit` Deposit — This type is used to specify/indicate that an initial deposit is required for a motor vehicle listing. - `amount` Amount — A complex type that describes the value of a monetary amount as represented by a global currency. When passing in an amount in a request payload, both currency and value fields are required, and both fields are also always returned for an amount in a response field. - `currency` string — The base currency applied to the value field to establish a monetary amount.

The currency is represented as a 3-letter ISO 4217 currency code. For example, the code for the Canadian Dollar is CAD.

Default: The default currency of the eBay marketplace that hosts the listing. For implementation help, refer to eBay API documentation - `value` string — The monetary amount in the specified currency. - `dueIn` TimeDuration — A type used to specify a period of time using a specified time-measurement unit. Payment, return, and fulfillment business policies all use this type to specify time windows.

Similarly, whenever a container that uses this type is returned in a response, both of these fields are always returned. - `unit` string — These enum values represent the time measurement unit, such as DAY. A span of time is defined when you apply the value specified in the value field to the value specified for unit.

See TimeDurationUnitEnum for a complete list of possible time-measurement units. For implementation help, refer to eBay API documentation - `value` integer — An integer that represents an amount of time, as measured by the time-measurement unit specified in the unit field. - `paymentMethods` PaymentMethod[] — This array is no longer applicable and should not be used since eBay now manages the electronic payment options available to buyers to pay the deposit. - `brands` string[] — Note: This array is no longer applicable and should not be used. eBay now controls all electronic payment methods available for a marketplace, and a seller never has to specify any electronic payment methods, including any credit card brands accepted. - `paymentMethodType` string — eBay now controls all electronic payment methods available for a marketplace, so only offline payment method enum values may be used in this field, and offline payment methods will only be applicable to listings that require or support offline payments. See the PaymentMethodTypeEnum type for supported offline payment method enum values.

A span of time is defined when you apply the value specified in the value field to the value specified for unit.

See TimeDurationUnitEnum for a complete list of possible time-measurement units. For implementation help, refer to eBay API documentation - `value` integer — An integer that represents an amount of time, as measured by the time-measurement unit specified in the unit field. - `immediatePay` boolean — This field should be included and set to true if the seller wants to require immediate payment from the buyer for:

A fixed-price item

A fixed-price item
An auction item where the buyer is using the 'Buy it Now' option
A deposit for a motor vehicle listing

It is possible for the seller to set this field as true in the payment business policy, but it will not apply in some scenarios. For example, immediate payment is not applicable for auction listings that have a winning bidder, for buyer purchases that involve the Best Offer feature, or for transactions that happen offline between the buyer and seller. - `marketplaceId` string — The ID of the eBay marketplace to which this payment business policy applies.

A free-form string field that allows sellers to add detailed payment instructions to their listings. - `paymentMethods` PaymentMethod[] — This array shows the available payment methods that the seller has set for the payment business policy.
