findCompletedItems Response show undefined for some fields

I am trying to create a completed items response and in some fields I am getting the response undefined. I know I am missing something very basic but cannot work it out. What am I missing?

eBay Search Results

undefined undefined Apple iPhone 4S - 16GB - Black Smartphone Unlocked undefined undefined Apple iPhone 4S - 16GB - Black - * Unlocked *

I am also getting and error in the XML window when testing in the Quick Start Sample Application

Sorry here was my code

<html>
<head>
<title>eBay Search Results</title>
<style type="text/css">body { font-family: arial,sans-serif;} </style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>eBay Search Results</h1>
<div id="results"></div>

  for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i)
  {
  var item = items[i];
  var title   = item.title;
  var Price   = item.currentPrice;
  var shipping = item.shippingServiceCost;

html.push('<tr><td>' + Price + '</td>' +
'<td>' + shipping + ' ' + title + '</td></tr>');

  }
  html.push('</tbody></table>');
  document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = html.join("");
}
</script>

You're trying to get nodes that don't exist.CurrentPrice isn't at the root level of item.

Look at the XML output in your browser to see the hierarchy. You can also load a JSON viewer add-on into Firefox to do this with the JSON output. Or just read the docs, there's a sample output there.

I get the same Undefined value when I use the values from the API table: var shipping = item.shippingInfo.shippingServiceCost; var price = item.sellingStatus.currentPrice; var bin = item.listingInfo.buyItNowPrice; Am I missing something?

Fields marked "Conditionally" in the docs are not always returned. You have to test for existence before using them. BuyItNow price for instance, isn't returned for auctions that do not have a BuyItNow option.
