// 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":
//         { 
//         "quantity": 50
//         }
//     },
// "condition": "NEW",
// "product":
//     { 
//     "title": "GoPro Hero4 Helmet Cam",
//     "description": "New GoPro Hero4 Helmet Cam. Unopened box.",
//     "aspects": {
//         "Brand" :["GoPro"],
