adStatus	AdStatusEnum	The current status of the CPC ad. Valid Values: `ACTIVE` `PAUSED` `ARCHIVED` Note: This type only applies to the Cost Per Click (CPC) funding model; it does not apply to the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model. Occurrence: Conditional

alerts.details.dimension.key	DimensionKeyEnum	The key field of the applied dimension. For example, the marketplace Id. Occurrence: Conditional
alerts.details.dimension.value	string	The value field of the applied dimension. For example, if the key is a `MARKETPLACE_ID`, the value would be from MarketplaceIdEnum. Occurrence: Conditional

alerts.details.aspect.value	string	The value of the aspect. For example, if the aspect is a percentage, a value of '2.0' would equal 2%. Occurrence: Conditional
bidPercentage	string	The user-defined bid percentage (also known as the ad rate) sets the level that eBay increases the visibility in search results for the associated listing. The higher the bidPercentage value, the more eBay promotes the listing. The value specified here is also used to calculate the Promoted Listings fee. This percentage value is multiplied by the final sales price to determine the fee. The Promoted Listings fee is determined at the time the transaction completes and the seller is assessed the fee only when an item sells through a Promoted Listings ad campaign. The bidPercentage is a single precision value that is guided by the following rules: These values are valid: `4.1`, `5.0`, `5.5`, ... These values are not valid: `0.01`, `10.75`, `99.99`, and so on. This is default bid percentage for the campaigns using the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model, and this value will be overridden by any ads in the campaign that have their own set bid percentages. If a bid percentage is not provided for an ad, eBay uses the default bid percentage of the associated campaign. Note:This field will always be returned for campaigns that use the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model. It will not be returned for campaigns that use the Cost Per Click (CPC) funding model. Note: This field has a minimum value of `2.0` and a maximum value of `100.0`. Occurrence: Conditional
inventoryReferenceId	string	An ID that identifies a single-item listing or multiple-variation listing that is managed with the Inventory API. The inventory reference ID is a seller-defined value that can be either an SKU for a single-item listing or an inventoryItemGroupKey for a multiple-value listing. An inventoryItemGroupKey is a value that the seller defines to indicate a listing that's the parent of an inventory item group (a multiple-variation listing, such as a listing for a shirt that's available in multiple sizes and colors). This field is only returned if the ad is associated with a SKU or an inventory item group value. Occurrence: Always
inventoryReferenceType	InventoryReferenceTypeEnum	The enumeration value returned here indicates the type of listing the inventoryReferenceId references. The value returned here will be `INVENTORY_ITEM` for a single-variation listing, or `INVENTORY_ITEM_GROUP` for a multiple-variation listing. This field is only returned if the ad is associated with a SKU or an inventory item group value. Occurrence: Always
listingId	string	A unique eBay-assigned ID that is generated when a listing is created. Occurrence: Always
