C# Ebay API Post-Order check_eligibility using HttpWebRequest

I'm trying to use the check_eligibility call from the eBay Post-Order API in C# very unsuccessfully. Every time I get a bad response. Here is one way I've tried: 

string url = "https://api.ebay.com/post-order/v2/cancellation/check_eligibility";
        HttpWebRequest cancelOrderRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

        cancelOrderRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "TOKEN " + AuthToken);
        cancelOrderRequest.ContentType = "application/json"; 
        cancelOrderRequest.Accept = "application/json"; 
        cancelOrderRequest.Headers.Add("X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID", "EBAY_US"); 

        cancelOrderRequest.Headers.Add("legacyOrderId", ebayFullOrderId);

        cancelOrderRequest.Method = "POST";


        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)cancelOrderRequest.GetResponse();

And here is another way I've tried: 

string url = "https://api.ebay.com/post-order/v2/cancellation/check_eligibility";
        var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
        httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
        httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "TOKEN " + AuthToken);
        httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("X-EBAY-C-MARKETPLACE-ID", "EBAY_US");
        httpWebRequest.Accept = "application/json"; 

        using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
        {
            string json = "{\"legacyOrderId\":\"###-###\"";

            streamWriter.Write(json);
            streamWriter.Flush();
            streamWriter.Close();
        }

        var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
        using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
        }

Regardless of which way I try both came back with the same message, "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

My second code example ended up being the correct way to solve my problem. What I realized was my json was slightly off. I was missing the extra } at the end. The below updated json syntax fixed my problem going with the code from my second example. 

var json = "{\"legacyOrderId\":\"" + ebayFullOrderId + "\"}";

Please try this code:

private void MakeRequests()
{
    HttpWebResponse response;

    if (RequestEbay(out response))
    {
        response.Close();
    }
}

private bool RequestEbay(out HttpWebResponse response)
{
    response = null;

    try
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://api.ebay.com/ws/api.dll");

        request.Headers.Add("X-EBAY-API-SITEID", @"0");
        request.Headers.Add("X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL", @"967");
        request.Headers.Add("X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME", @"GetOrders");

        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = false;

        string body = @"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
        <GetOrdersRequest xmlns=""urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"">
          <RequesterCredentials>
            <eBayAuthToken>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOUR EBAY TOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1</eBayAuthToken>
          </RequesterCredentials>
         <ErrorLanguage>en_US</ErrorLanguage>
         <WarningLevel>High</WarningLevel>
          <CreateTimeFrom>2016-12-01T19:09:02.768Z</CreateTimeFrom>
          <CreateTimeTo>2017-12-15T19:09:02.768Z</CreateTimeTo>
          <OrderRole>Seller</OrderRole>
        </GetOrdersRequest>";
                byte[] postBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(body);
                request.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;
                Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream();
                stream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length);
                stream.Close();

                response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
    }
    catch (WebException e)
    {
        if (e.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError) response = (HttpWebResponse)e.Response;
        else return false;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        if(response != null) response.Close();
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}
