// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// This example sends the following sample PUT request to create (or replace) a new inventory item.

// PUT https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/inventory_item/GP-Cam-01

// "availability":
//     { 
//     "shipToLocationAvailability":

//     },
