To determine whether a seller can offer eBay Plus in qualified listings, include this field and set it to true.

eBay Plus is a premium account option for buyers, which provides benefits such as fast free domestic shipping and free returns on selected items. Top Rated eBay sellers must opt in to eBay Plus, and can offer the program on a per-listing basis.

The eBayPLUSPreference container is returned in the response with information about each country where the seller is eligible to offer eBay Plus on listings (one eBayPLUSPreference container per country), as well as the seller's opt-in status and listing preference for each country.

Note: Currently, eBay Plus is available only to buyers in Germany and Australia. In Australia, the seller has no control/responsibility over setting the eBay Plus feature for a listing. Instead, eBay will evaluate/determine whether a listing is eligible for eBay Plus.

A returned value of true indicates that for the seller's listings that specify an international shipping service for any Global Shipping-eligible country, the specified service will take precedence and be the listing's default international shipping option for buyers in that country, rather than the Global Shipping Program.

A returned value of false indicates that the Global Shipping program will take precedence over any international shipping service as the default option in Global Shipping-eligible listings for shipping to any Global Shipping-eligible country.

With the Click and Collect feature, a buyer can purchase certain items on eBay and collect them at a local store. Buyers are notified by eBay once their items are available. The Click and Collect feature is only available to large merchants on the eBay UK (site ID 3), eBay Australia (Site ID 15), and eBay Germany (Site ID 77) sites.

Note: The Click and Collect program no longer allows sellers to set the Click and Collect preference at the listing level.
