simplest way to create listings on sandbox

[ahhas_4534]

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.

I got the same issue when using publish offer API. 

https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/offer/{offerId}/publish

Can someone please help?

Thank you.

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,

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.

Hi @shipscript ,

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

{

            "sku": "123",

            "locale": "en_GB",

            "product": {

                "title": "UKUKUKbTest listing UK EBAY_GB - do not bid or buy - awesome Apple watch test 2",

                "aspects": {

                    "CPU": [

                        "Dual-Core Processor"

                    ],

                    "Feature": [

                        "Water resistance",

                        "GPS"

                    ]

                },

                "description": "Test listing - do not bid or buy \n Built-in GPS. Water resistance to 50 meters.1 A new lightning-fast dual-core processor. And a display that’s two times brighter than before. Full of features that help you stay active, motivated, and connected, Apple Watch Series 2 is designed for all the ways you move ",

                "upc": [

                    "888462079525"

                ],

                "imageUrls": [

                    "http://store.storeimages.cdn-apple.com/4973/as-images.apple.com/is/image/AppleInc/aos/published/imag...",

                    "http://store.storeimages.cdn-apple.com/4973/as-images.apple.com/is/image/AppleInc/aos/published/imag...",

                    "http://store.storeimages.cdn-apple.com/4973/as-images.apple.com/is/image/AppleInc/aos/published/imag..."

                ]

            },

            "availability": {

                "shipToLocationAvailability": {

                    "quantity": 8

                }

            }

        }

But I still get the error when publishing it.

P.S. test_location_4's  merchantLocationStatus is ENABLED

Thank you very much.

@jish-7749 

What is in your fulfillmentPolicy 6200277000?

[jish-7749]

@shipscript

Here is my fulfillmentPolicy from API https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/sell/account/v1/fulfillment_policy?marketplace_id=EBAY_GB:

            "categoryTypes": [

                {

                    "name": "ALL_EXCLUDING_MOTORS_VEHICLES",

                    "default": true

                }

            ],

            "handlingTime": {

                "value": 1,

                "unit": "DAY"

            },

            "globalShipping": false,

}

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