Abstract
Recently, Choe et al. obtained characterizations for bounded/compact differences of weighted composition operators acting from a standard weighted Bergman space into another over the unit disk. In this paper we extend those results to the ball setting. By devising a new approach regarding test functions, we improve the characterizations as well as the proofs. Namely, the Reproducing Kernel Thesis is added to the characterizations and our proofs, when restricted to the disk, are new and simpler.

Acknowledgements
In the earlier version of the paper, the \(L^{q}_{\beta }\)-integrability condition for the weight functions was included (as in [1, 2]) as a standing hypothesis in our main theorems. We thank the referee for pointing out that such integrability condition can be removed as in the current paper. We hope that removing such integrability condition would significantly increase the utility of our characterizations in the study of various problems involving weighted composition operators.
