guaranteedDelivery
Although this field is still returned, it can be ignored since eBay Guaranteed Delivery is no longer a supported feature on any marketplace. This field may get removed from the schema in the future.
maxEstimatedDeliveryDate
The estimated latest date and time that the buyer can expect to receive the line item based on the seller's stated handling time and the transit times of the available shipping service options. The seller must pay extra attention to this date, as a failure to deliver by this date/time can result in a 'Late shipment' seller defect, and can affect seller level and Top-Rated Seller status. In addition to the seller defect, buyers will be eligible for a shipping cost refund, and will also be eligible to return the item for a full refund (with no return shipping charge) if they choose.

The latest date and time by which the seller should ship line item in order to meet the expected delivery window. This timestamp will be set by eBay based on time of purchase and the seller's stated handling time. The seller must pay extra attention to this date, as a failure to physically ship the line item by this date/time can result in a 'Late shipment' seller defect, and can affect seller level and Top-Rated Seller status. In addition to the seller defect, buyers will be eligible for a shipping cost refund, and will also be eligible to return the item for a full refund (with no return shipping charge) if they choose.
