Property	Expected Type	Description
Properties from BuyAction
`seller`	Organization or Person	An entity which offers (sells / leases / lends / loans) the services / goods. A seller may also be a provider. Supersedes vendor, merchant.
Properties from TradeAction
`price`	Text or Number	The offer price of a product, or of a price component when attached to PriceSpecification and its subtypes. Usage guidelines: Use the priceCurrency property (with ISO 4217 codes e.g. "USD") instead of including ambiguous symbols such as '$' in the value. Use '.' (Unicode 'FULL STOP' (U+002E)) rather than ',' to indicate a decimal point. Avoid using these symbols as a readability separator. Note that both RDFa and Microdata syntax allow the use of a "content=" attribute for publishing simple machine-readable values alongside more human-friendly formatting. Use values from 0123456789 (Unicode 'DIGIT ZERO' (U+0030) to 'DIGIT NINE' (U+0039)) rather than superficially similiar Unicode symbols.
`priceSpecification`	PriceSpecification	One or more detailed price specifications, indicating the unit price and delivery or payment charges.
Properties from Action
`actionStatus`	ActionStatusType	Indicates the current disposition of the Action.
`agent`	Organization or Person	The direct performer or driver of the action (animate or inanimate). e.g. John wrote a book.
`endTime`	DateTime	The endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to December. Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
`error`	Thing	For failed actions, more information on the cause of the failure.
`instrument`	Thing	The object that helped the agent perform the action. e.g. John wrote a book with a pen.
`location`	Place or PostalAddress	The location of the event, organization or action.
`object`	Thing	The object upon the action is carried out, whose state is kept intact or changed. Also known as the semantic roles patient, affected or undergoer (which change their state) or theme (which doesn't). e.g. John read a book.
`participant`	Organization or Person	Other co-agents that participated in the action indirectly. e.g. John wrote a book with Steve.
`result`	Thing	The result produced in the action. e.g. John wrote a book.
`startTime`	DateTime	The startTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to start. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. e.g. John wrote a book from January to December. Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
`target`	EntryPoint	Indicates a target EntryPoint for an Action.
Properties from Thing
`additionalType`	URL	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
`alternateName`	Text	An alias for the item.
`description`	Text	A short description of the item.
`image`	URL or ImageObject	An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
`mainEntityOfPage`	URL or CreativeWork	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details. Inverse property: mainEntity.
`name`	Text	The name of the item.
`potentialAction`	Action	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
`sameAs`	URL	URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Freebase page, or official website.
`url`	URL	URL of the item.
