simplest way to create listings on sandbox

I need to create a listing in sandbox and then place order for that listing in order to check the notification and data sent by ebay notification to my webhook endpoint. But unable to create the listing using APIs.

"message": "A user error has occurred. Invalid <ShippingPackage>."

Getting this error while publishing the the offer.

For me, removing packageType from the inventory item fixed the issue.

Hi Shipscript,

Thanks for your reply.

I have created my fulfillment, payment and return policy in my eBay sandbox. (I also created the test location for the offer)

Below is my test json for the offer:

{

"sku": "123",

"marketplaceId": "EBAY_GB",

"format": "FIXED_PRICE",

"listingDescription": "Test description",

"availableQuantity": 8,

"pricingSummary": {

"price": {

"value": 352.9,

"currency": "GBP"

}

"listingPolicies": {

"fulfillmentPolicyId": "6200277000",

"paymentPolicyId": "6200274000",

"returnPolicyId": "6200275000"

"categoryId": "183593",

"merchantLocationKey": "test_location_4",

"tax": {

"vatPercentage": 10.2,

"applyTax": true,

"thirdPartyTaxCategory": "Electronics"

}

Can you see any problem in this offer?

Thank you very much.

To both of you, be sure that the shipping policy (fulfillmentPolicy) includes the correct shipping parameters for both the item and for your country.

Hi @shipscript ,

Besides from the offer and policy I created for publishing the offer, below is the test inventory I used:

"aspects": {

"CPU": [

"Dual-Core Processor"

"Water resistance",

"GPS"

]

]

"availability": {

}

But I still get the error when publishing it.

P.S. test_location_4's merchantLocationStatus is ENABLED

Thank you very much.
