The cost to ship each item beyond the first item (where the item with the highest shipping cost is selected by eBay as the first item). Let's say the buyer purchases three items, each set to ship for $8, and the seller set the EachAdditionalAmount to $6. The cost to ship three items would normally be $24, but since the seller specified $6, the total shipping cost would be $8 + $6 + $6, or $20. This field is only applicable for flat-rate shipping.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use EachAdditionalAmount.
The amount by which to reduce the cost to ship each item beyond the first item (where the item with the highest shipping cost is selected by eBay as the first item). Let's say the buyer purchases three items, each set to ship for $8, and the seller set EachAdditionalAmountOff to $2. The cost to ship three items would normally be $24, but since the seller specified $2, the total shipping cost would be $24 - (two additional items x $2), or $20. This field is only applicable for flat-rate shipping.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use EachAdditionalAmountOff.
The percentage by which to reduce the cost to ship each item beyond the first item (where the item with the highest shipping cost is selected by eBay as the first item). Let's say the buyer purchases three items, each set to ship for $8, and the seller set EachAdditionalPercentOff to 0.25. The cost to ship three items would normally be $24, but since the seller specified 0.25 ($2 out of $8), the total shipping cost would be $24 - (two additional items x $2), or $20. This field is only applicable for flat-rate shipping.

For SetShippingDiscountProfiles, if MappedDiscountProfileID is omitted when ModifyActionCode is set to

The amount of weight to subtract for each item beyond the first item before shipping costs are calculated. For example, there may be less packing material when the items are combined in one box than if they were shipped individually. Let's say the buyer purchases three items, each 10 oz. in weight, and the seller set WeightOff to 2 oz. The combined weight would be 30 oz., but since the seller specified 2 oz. off, the total weight for shipping cost calculation would be 30 oz. - (two additional items x 2 oz.), or 26 oz. This field is only applicable for calculated shipping.
