-------------------------------------------------
~Relevant information:

Call: GetItem
API: Trading API
Version: 1009

Current behaviour: "Item.Variations.Variation.SellingStatus" needs to return "PromotionalSaleDetail" data because the listing was (and still is) on sale when the call was requested.
Expected behaviour: "Item.Variations.Variation.SellingStatus" simply needs to return the "PromotionalSaleDetail" data, if the request made was for a listing which had sale active on it.
