What to use instead of these calls

eBay names no replacement for the return draft calls, as buyers start returns directly on eBay. Because eBay removed the calls without an alternative, deciding how to handle previous functionality requires a product decision.

eBay removed the call without a replacement: what the code did with it is a product decision.

In eBay API's words

Decommissioned on January 20, 2026: API calls and types The following deprecated calls were decommissioned and removed from the documentation: - Cancel Return Request - Check Return Eligibility - Check Shipping Label Print Eligibility - Create Return Draft
