Question: I am receiving the following response for my AddItem request:

</AddItemResponse>
What should I do with the legacy tag CheckoutDetailsSpecified ?
Summary
Answer: It is a product limitation that AddItem returns the legacy tag CheckoutDetailsSpecified if the ShippingDetails container does not have any ShippingService when it is required. Please ignore this legacy tag and ensure that you have specified atleast one ShippingService in your request.
Detailed Description
Lets take the example of the following AddItem request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AddItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<Version>485</Version>
<Item>
<Quantity>1</Quantity>
<Currency>USD</Currency>
<StartPrice>1</StartPrice>
<ListingDuration>Days_7</ListingDuration>
<Site>US</Site>
<Country>US</Country>
<PrimaryCategory>
<CategoryID>1411</CategoryID>
</PrimaryCategory>
<Location>san jose</Location>
<ShippingDetails>
<SalesTax>
<SalesTaxPercent>7</SalesTaxPercent>
<SalesTaxState>GA</SalesTaxState>
<ShippingIncludedInTax>false</ShippingIncludedInTax>
</SalesTax>
<ShippingType>Flat</ShippingType>
<ApplyShippingDiscount>True</ApplyShippingDiscount>
</ShippingDetails>
<Title>test</Title>
<Description>test</Description>
</Item>
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>*****</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
</AddItemRequest>
To specify sales tax, you must list the item with atleast one valid ShippingService, otherwise you will get this inconsistent shipping parameters error. Similarly, if specify Insurance, you need to have atleast one ShippingService.
