Developer Impact: Over the next several months, we will be keeping our developer community up to date with how these product and policy changes in the eBay marketplace will impact the eBay Web Services platform. We encourage you to keep you up to date with developer announcements in our blog by subscribing to our RSS feed and in e-mail by monitoring our bi-weekly email newsletter. Where there is direct and significant impact to the API platform, we will continue to point to the Release Notes to provide further detail.

eBay is making these changes to improve the buyer experience by ensuring buyers have a safer electronic form of payment available to them. Giving buyers safer payment options on eBay will help increase buyer satisfaction and improve the marketplace overall. This payment requirement will not apply to the listings in the Motors Vehicles category.

For more information about safer payment requirements, please review the following announcements:

• Making eBay Safer and Easier with PayPal
• Safer Payments and Buyer Protection

Using the Classified Ads format, sellers receive a 30-day ad at a fixed price. Sellers can list multiple digital goods in one Classified Ad.

This solution enables sellers to continue to market their digital goods on eBay; however, because Classified Ad listings are a lead generation tool and do not result in transactions that go through eBay, Feedback cannot be exchanged between buyer and seller.
