AmountType ( double )

An eBay-defined complex type for specifying monetary amounts.

A double value (e.g., 1.00 or 1.0) is meaningful as a monetary amount when accompanied by a specification of the currency, in which case the value specifies the amount in that currency. An AmountType expresses both the value (a double) and the currency.

The AmountType data type is typically used to specify details such as prices, fees, costs, and payments. In some cases, a whole number (i.e., without a period) can be passed or returned as a monetary value. This is necessary to support certain currencies that are only expressed as whole numbers.

Because a double is used to represent the amount, this also means whole monetary amounts may be returned with only one 0 after the decimal. For example, a dollar value could be returned as 1.0 instead of 1.00 in calls like AddItem.
