Occurrence: Conditional

Indicates the bidding strategy for an onsite Cost Per Click (CPC) campaign that uses manual targeting.

Note: This field is not applicable for smart targeting campaigns.
Valid values are:

• FIXED
  
  When using a fixed bidding strategy, sellers manually assign and adjust keyword bids for the CPC campaign.
• DYNAMIC
  
  When using a dynamic bidding strategy, eBay manages the campaign's keyword bids and automatically updates them daily to the suggested bid.
  
  Note: For a CPC campaign using dynamic bidding, sellers can continue to manually add keywords for the campaign, but they are no longer able to manually adjust their associated bid values. In order to manually adjust bid values, sellers must use the FIXED bidding strategy.

Occurrence: Optional

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,
