# POST /post-order/v2/return/check_eligibility stops working

Calls to POST /post-order/v2/return/check_eligibility on eBay API stopped working on January 20, 2026.

On January 20, 2026, the POST /post-order/v2/return/check_eligibility endpoint was decommissioned and removed from the documentation. Requests sent to this endpoint now fail. The change directly affects any integration relying on this specific call to check return eligibility.

## What to use instead

eBay names no replacement for this Post-Order call. You must handle the step directly on eBay or drop the functionality from your code, which requires a product decision.

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