Your Action statement now defines part of your issue. You are registered in the UK but are trying to sell in the US. You do not have enough positive feedback, on this account, to sell internationally. You will need at least 10, as a seller.

 

Additionally, you may face selling limits, again, your lack of positive feedback, as a seller.

 

If you are wanting to sell to the US market, you can make enough sales to obtain 10 positive feedback ratings (as a seller, buyer feedback does not count), or create a US account. The same limits will apply.

 

Make sure your shipping policy states 'Standard shipping from outside the US'.

Here is the info on limits - https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/selling-limits?id=4107

Here are the way(s) to get limits increased when you have met the conditions -

Use this link - https://scgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?UpgradeLimits

Another way, is to just list up to your limits and then one more to receive the error. Do this each week. During the monthly account review, the reviewer will see the attempts and will raise your limits automatically, if your account is in good standing.

This is a good response by  @dollybeauty  and others about how selling limits affect File Exchange.

I want to sell from a warehouse in the UK to the USA and around the world.

Now my seller limit is 350.000

Or I will not be able to leaf through a lot of goods until you get a half review?

Regardless of your selling limits on any site, you will not be able to sell internationally, until you have enough positive feedback. You will need at least 10 positive feedback ratings, as a seller (buyer feedback does not count), to be able to sell internationally.

Upload to the UK site. To upload to the .com site (US) you need the ability to sell internationally.

 

For the UK site...

 

Action(SiteID=UK|Country=UK|Currency=GBP|Version=745|CC=UTF-8)

 

If the product you sell is located in another country, you need to change the 'Country=' to the country of origin (included for other readers of this post).

Ok i understand you

Tried to enter * Action (SiteID = UK | Country = UK | Currency = GBP | Version = 745 | CC = UTF-8))
And now I have an error of 37

"Error - Input data for <Item.Country> is invalid or missing. Please check API API."

Can you help me again

Your info looks good, and is in accordance with the FileExchange Advanced Instructions.

 

The only thing I could suggest (and I do not know why this would work, when what you have tried does not), is to ad a column labeled 'Country' with the values 'UK'. Delete 'Country=' from the Action statement. Again I do not know why that would work over what you have done.

 

Another possibility...You did subscribe to FileExchange on the UK site, right? If you subscribed on the US site, this might give the error, you are seeing. Each site has it's own subscription service.

 

In any case, if the above does not help, you will need to contact the AdvancedApps team at eBay.

 

This is, of course, an expensive call from the UK. You might try to contact the AdvancedApps tem though the social sites...

You can call eBay - https://www.ebay.com/help/-/-/Contacting_eBay_Customer_Service?id=4379

Or contact them on Facebook.com/eBay or Twitter.com/AskeBay

For the social sites...You can contact Customer Service on Facebook, via private message and though direct message on Twitter.

Please do not provide any personal or account specific information (username, item number, etc.) publicly, only through private or direct message. An eBay employee will verify your account information and be happy to work with you.

Outside the US?

Try Skype - https://support.skype.com/en/faq/fa10613/how-do-i-make-a-call-on-skype (I do not know the Skype name to use).

This is from the eBay Advanced Apps team...

Phone Support (US - 8 AM - 6 PM MST): **To call us, click on the Help & Contact link found at the top of most eBay pages. Click on the Contact Us button at the bottom of the page. Select ‘Selling’ -> ‘Getting Started’ -> ‘Selling Tools’ for issues or concerns related to eBay listing tools that my team can assist you with. Now scroll to the bottom and click Call Us. Ask the customer support agent to transfer you to the Advanced Apps team.**
