What are eBay Business Policies?

eBay Business Policies are a quick way to configure the following fields within the feed. By opting into business policies and providing the ID, eBay feeds can be more easily created and managed.

ShippingProfileID

PaymentProfileID

ReturnProfileID

How to find Profile IDs

First, you can create and manage policies from the business policies dashboard in the Account section of My eBay.

To start using business policies, you need to opt in.

When viewing or editing your business policy, find "&profileid=123456789"

This number in the URL is the Profile ID value to use in your feeds.

Using Profile IDs in your eBay feeds

• You must provide the ProfileID for all three
• You can use custom rules to map different ProfileIDs to different groups of products, such as different shipping profiles for different types of products
• If you provide ProfileIDs in the feed, then you do not need to map any of the other fields related to shipping, returns, and payments.
