HELP!!!! Uploading Bulk Listings - I Keep getting the same error no matter what.

Question

Hello,

I decided to finally start selling more items on ebay, but I need to upload them as a bulk excel sheet. Too many items to do this one by one. I followed the instructions for the bulk listings template, double checked, triple checked and everything is filled out. This is the error I keep getting

Error 37 / Error - Input data for tag <Item.ShippingDetails> is invalid or missing. Please check API documentation.|Item.ShippingDetails|

My shipping info is filled in, setup on my policy page, etc. Contacted seller support and they said the sheet that they see is blank, but the sheet I have on my side is fully filled out.

HELP!

Sounds to me like the shipping input doesn't match the current layout. Its possible the template no longer aligns with the current website use of shipping details.

I have never used this method myself, I don't sell that large of an amount of items. But generally, an error like that means pretty much what it says. It's having an issue when it gets to importing your shipping settings.

And with all the recent changes and shipping fixes, its probably a case of the template/instructions haven't caught up to the recent changes, thus causing import errors.

Not sure if you can bypass that part, and configure the shipping with a policy directly, or use a different shipping configuration though.

However, you could try a simpler method or two:

Clear out cache files for eBay, log out, close browser, restart browser, log back in and try again, or even try a different browser.

Try creating a brand new template, and setup like 10 items for import as a test. (start smaller).
