eBay API: Return price range for 'multivariation' listing

On eBay, some sellers have variations on a particular listing. For example, a search for flower food often returns results with a price range, because the price is dependent on the number of sachets of flower food purchased.

As far as I can tell it is not straight forward to acquire this price range via the eBay API. I have tried GetMultipleItems, which works, but the call takes too long, especially if you load it with multiple items.

Does anyone know of a better way?

Do you mean a multi-variation item, or several separate ones that are similar?

If it's the latter I don't know.... if it's the former this is easy:

Use getItem call, works a treat for me.

I have 'DetailLevel' set to 'ReturnAll' and 'IncludeItemSpecifics' set to 'true' - though I'm not sure if these are needed.

IF the item has more than one SKU, it returns like this: (this is just one variant - i removed the others but you can see what comes back... 

<Variations>
            <Variation>
                <SKU>ESP.1255872.2420592527030</SKU>
                <StartPrice currencyID="GBP">16.0</StartPrice>
                <Quantity>11</Quantity>
                <VariationSpecifics>
                    <NameValueList>
                        <Name>Shoe Size</Name>
                        <Value>UK 3</Value>
                    </NameValueList>
                </VariationSpecifics>
                <SellingStatus>
                    <QuantitySold>1</QuantitySold>
