The allocated budget for the Cost Per Click (CPC) Promoted Listings campaign.Note: This field will only be returned for campaigns using the CPC funding model; it does not apply to the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model.

Occurrence: Conditional

The daily budget limit for the Cost Per Click (CPC) Promoted Listings campaign.

Required if the campaign's funding model is CPC.

This will be a dollar value. All clicks using the keywords defined for the campaign will go towards expending the daily budget. Once the daily budget is exceeded for the campaign, all Promoted Listings under the campaign will be turned off until the next day.

When running an offsite campaign, eBay may spend more or less than the seller's daily budget to capitalize on interested buyers, but will not exceed 2x the daily budget. The average over the course of the campaign will not exceed the provided daily budget. This value is used to calculate a total monthly budget by multiplying 30.4 by the provided daily budget. Over the course of the campaign, eBay will not charge more than this total budget per month.

If a campaign ends prematurely, however, the seller may be charged up to 2x their daily budget on a daily basis, as the campaign may have not had the chance to average the budget out over time.

Occurrence: Always

This field is used to set the ad rate strategy for a Cost Per Sale (CPS) campaign.

Occurrence: Conditional

Indicates the bidding strategy for an onsite Cost Per Click (CPC) campaign that uses manual targeting.

Note: This field is not applicable for smart targeting campaigns.
Valid values are:

• FIXED
  
  When using a fixed bidding strategy, sellers manually assign and adjust keyword bids for the CPC campaign.
• DYNAMIC
  
  When using a dynamic bidding strategy, eBay manages the campaign's keyword bids and automatically updates them daily to the suggested bid.
  
  Note: For a CPC campaign using dynamic bidding, sellers can continue to manually add keywords for the campaign, but they are no longer able to manually adjust their associated bid values. In order to manually adjust bid values, sellers must use the FIXED bidding strategy.

Occurrence: Conditional

The user-defined bid percentage (also known as the ad rate) sets the level that eBay increases the visibility in search results for the associated listing. The higher the bidPercentage value, the more eBay promotes the listing.

The value specified here is also used to calculate the Promoted Listings fee. This percentage value is multiplied by the final sales price to determine the fee.

The Promoted Listings fee is determined at the time the transaction completes and the seller is assessed the fee only when an item sells through a Promoted Listings ad campaign.

The bidPercentage is a single precision value that is guided by the following rules:

• These values are valid:
     4.1,    5.0,    5.5, ...
• These values are not valid:
     0.01,    10.75,    99.99,
