using System;
using eBay.Service.Call;
using eBay.Service.Core.Sdk;
using eBay.Service.Util;
using eBay.Service.Core.Soap;

namespace SDK3Examples
{

public class AddItem
{
public string AddItem(string UUID)
{
   AddItemCall addItem = new AddItemCall(GetContext());
    ItemType item = new ItemType();   
    item.Currency = CurrencyCodeType.USD;
    item.Country = CountryCodeType.US;
  
    item.Title = 'title';
    item.Quantity = 1;
    item.PostalCode = '95125';
    item.ListingDuration = 'Days_7';
    item.PrimaryCategory = new CategoryType();
    item.PrimaryCategory.CategoryID = '146301';
    item.StartPrice = new AmountType();
    item.StartPrice.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;
    item.StartPrice.Value = 20;
    item.UUID = UUID;
         
    item.ShippingDetails = new ShippingDetailsType();
    // Flat Domestic Calculated International Shipping Type
    item.ShippingDetails.ShippingType = ShippingTypeCodeType.FlatDomesticCalculatedInternational;

    // Domestic Shipping Services
    item.ShippingDetails.ShippingServiceOptions = new ShippingServiceOptionsTypeCollection();
    ShippingServiceOptionsType[] opt = new ShippingServiceOptionsType[1];
    opt[0] = new ShippingServiceOptionsType();    
    opt[0].ShippingServiceCost = new AmountType();
    opt[0].ShippingServiceCost.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;
    opt[0].ShippingServiceCost.Value = 5;
    opt[0].ShippingService = 'USPSPriority';
    opt[0].ShippingServicePriority = 1;
    item.ShippingDetails.ShippingServiceOptions.Add(opt[0]);

    // Calculated Shipping values
    CalculatedShippingRateType calRate = new CalculatedShippingRateType();
    calRate.OriginatingPostalCode = '95125';
    calRate.ShippingPackage = ShippingPackageCodeType.PackageThickEnvelope;
    calRate.WeightMajor = new MeasureType();
    calRate.WeightMajor.unit = 'lbs';
    calRate.WeightMajor.Value = 2;
    calRate.WeightMinor = new MeasureType();
    calRate.WeightMinor.unit = 'oz';
    calRate.WeightMinor.Value = 6;
    item.ShippingDetails.CalculatedShippingRate = calRate;

    // International Shipping Services
    item.ShippingDetails.InternationalShippingServiceOption = new InternationalShippingServiceOptionsTypeCollection();
    InternationalShippingServiceOptionsType[] Iopt = new InternationalShippingServiceOptionsType[1];
    Iopt[0] = new InternationalShippingServiceOptionsType();
    Iopt[0].ShippingService = 'USPSGlobalExpress';
    Iopt[0].ShippingServicePriority = 1;
    item.ShippingDetails.InternationalShippingServiceOption.Add(Iopt[0]);
    Iopt[0].ShipToLocation = new StringCollection();
    Iopt[0].ShipToLocation.Add('Worldwide');

    FeeTypeCollection fees = addItem.AddItem(item);
    return  item.ItemID;
}

    public ApiContext GetContext()
    {
       ApiContext context = new ApiContext();

  // Credentials for the call
  context.ApiCredential.eBayToken = 'token';

  // Set the URL
  context.SoapApiServerUrl = 'https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/wsapi'; 

  // Set logging
  context.ApiLogManager = newApiLogManager();
  context.ApiLogManager.ApiLoggerList.Add(new eBay.Service.Util.FileLogger('Messages.log', true, true, true));
  context.ApiLogManager.EnableLogging = true;

  // Set the version
  context.Version = '1131';

  return context;

    }

}

}

 

To flip this and set the domestic shipping type to calculated and international to flat:
1.  set item.ShippingDetails.ShippingType = ShippingTypeCodeType.FlatDomesticCalculatedInternational
2.   Remove the ShippingServiceCost for the domestic shipping services:
      opt[0].ShippingServiceCost = new AmountType();
      opt[0].ShippingServiceCost.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;
      opt[0].ShippingServiceCost.Value = 5;
3.  Add the ShippingServiceCost for the international shipping services:
      Iopt[0].ShippingServiceCost = new AmountType();
      Iopt[0].ShippingServiceCost.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD;
      Iopt[0].ShippingServiceCost.Value = 5;
