Fixing Broken Listings

The automated process will evaluate all items in Sales that have the recheck set to 1. To recheck an item, issue the query:

update Sales set recheck=1 where ebayid='555555555555';

XML Parsing Logic

Stage 1: GetItemRequest

if Item exist

if Item->ListingDetails exsts

date = Item->ListingDetails->EndTime

if Item->SellingStatus exsts

reserveMet = Item->SellingStatus->ReserveMet

bids = Item->SellingStatus->BidCount

sold = Item->SellingStatus->QuantitySold

if Item->SellingStatus->ListingStatus == "Active"

ended = FALSE

else

ended = TRUE

if Item->SellingStatus->CurrentPrice.currency == "USD"

price = Item->SellingStatus->CurrentPrice

else

price = Item->SellingStatus->ConvertedCurrentPrice

if ended

if sold > 0

result = 1 // sold

else if bids > 0

if reserveMet

result = 1 // sold

else

result = 2 // reserve not met

else

result = 3 // ended with no bids

else

result = 5 // still pending

if result = 1

Jump to Stage 2

Stage 2: GetAllBiddersRequest

if HighestBid exists

if HighestBid.currency == "USD"

price = HighestBid

else

price = BidArray -> Offer[0] -> HighestBid -> ConvertedPrice
