#  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.",
