ShipPackageDetailsType
Details pertinent to one or more items for which calculated shipping (or flat rate shipping using shipping rate tables with weight surcharges) has been offered by the seller, such as package dimension and weight and packaging/handling costs.
Also returned with the data for an item's transaction.
Note: The ShippingPackageDetails container should now be used instead of the CalculatedShippingRate container to specify values for the MeasurementUnit, PackageDepth, PackageWidth, PackageLength, ShippingIrregular, ShippingPackage, WeightMajor, and/or WeightMinor fields. The CalculatedShippingRate container should only be used to specify values for the InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts, and/or PackagingHandlingCosts fields.

Fields
MeasurementUnit ( MeasurementSystemCodeType ) [0..1]
Specifies the unit type of the weight and dimensions of a shipping package. If MeasurementUnit is used, it overrides the system specified by measurementSystem. If MeasurementUnit and measurementSystem are not specified, the following defaults will be used:
English: US
Metric: CA, CAFR, AU
CA and CAFR supports both English and Metric, while other sites only support the site's default.
Use MeasurementUnit with weight and package dimensions. For example, to represent a 5 lbs 2 oz package:
English: US
Metric: CA, CAFR, AU
CA and CAFR supports both English and Metric, while other sites only support the site's default.
Use MeasurementUnit with weight and package dimensions. For example, to represent a 5 lbs 2 oz package:
<MeasurementUnit>English</MeasurementUnit>
<WeightMajor>5</WeightMajor>
<WeightMinor>2</WeightMinor>
See the Field Index to learn which calls use MeasurementUnit.
Depth of the package, in whole number of inches, needed to ship the item. This is validated against the selected shipping service. Upon mismatch, a message is returned, such as, "Package dimensions exceeds maximum allowable limit for service XXXXX," where XXXXX is the name of the shipping service. For calculated shipping only. Only returned if the seller specified the value for the item. (In many cases, the seller only specifies the weight fields.) Developer impact: UPS requires dimensions for any Ground packages that are 3 cubic feet or larger and for all air packages, if they are to provide correct shipping cost. If package dimensions are not included for an item listed with calculated shipping, the shipping cost returned will be an estimate based on standard dimensions for the defined package type. eBay enforces a dimensions requirement on listings so that buyers receive accurate calculated shipping costs.
Note: The unit and measurementSystem attributes associated with this field will be returned by the GetItem call and are automatically derived based on the MeasurementUnit value specified during listing creation or revision. These attributes will be ignored if passed into the request of the AddItem family of calls.

Length of the package, in whole number of inches, needed to ship the item. Upon mismatch, a message is returned, such as, "Package dimensions exceeds maximum allowable limit for service XXXXX," where XXXXX is the name of the shipping service. For calculated shipping only. Only returned if the seller specified the value for the item. (In many cases, the seller only specifies the weight fields.)

Width of the package, in whole number of inches, needed to ship the item.

See the Field Index to learn which calls use PackageWidth.
Whether a package is irregular and therefore cannot go through the stamping machine at the shipping service office and thus requires special or fragile handling. For calculated shipping only.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use ShippingIrregular.
ShippingPackage ( ShippingPackageCodeType ) [0..1]
The nature of the package used to ship the item(s). Required for calculated shipping only.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use ShippingPackage.
WeightMajor and WeightMinor are used to specify the weight of a shipping package. WeightMajor is used to specify the weight of the package in pounds (in US) or kilograms (all countries that use metric system). Although MeasureType is of decimal type, decimal values should not be used in WeightMajor and WeightMinor. If a shipping package was 5 pounds and 1.8 ounces, the 1.8 ounces should be rounded up to an even 2 ounces. The same is for kilograms. If the package is 2.267 kilgram, you would round up the grams. Below shows you how to represent a package weight of 5 lbs 2 oz and and 2 kg 3 gr:
If a package weighed 14 oz or 324 gr, below is how you would represent this weight:
If a package weighed exactly 2 lbs or 105 kg, below is how you would represent this weight:
In all cases, both the WeightMajor and WeightMinor should be specified in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, even if either's value is '0'.
The WeightMajor and WeightMinor are applicable for calculated shipping or for flat-rate shipping if shipping rate tables are specified and the shipping rate table uses weight surcharges.
Note: The unit and measurementSystem attributes associated with this field will be returned by the GetItem call and are automatically derived based on the MeasurementUnit value specified during listing creation or revision. These attributes will be ignored if passed into the request of the AddItem family of calls.
