Hi,
I am seeing the following error when I try to import variations:
"Error - Input data for tag <Item.AutoPay> is invalid or missing. Please check API documentation.|Item.AutoPay|"
I have looked around no info on this error appears anywhere! Cannot find this field in any of the file exchange documentation, not of the category templates downloaded!
Can anyone give me a clue on this?

Hi from the UK.
I've never seen this error and as AutoPay is optional anyway (it specifies whether or not immediate payment is required and the default is false) I can't understand the error.
I suggest that this is a spurious error caused by something else being wrong with your file.
Could you post the actual file here and I'll have a look (maybe use https://wetransfer.com).
You could try adding a column AutoPay to your file and putting a value of "false" but I doubt this will fix it.

<Item.AutoPay> refers to "ImmediatePayRequired" in File Exchange.
Are you creating a new listing from a File Exchange template?
If the "ImmediatePayRequired" column is empty, it defaults to the number "0". If populated, the column should have a numerical value of "0" or "1", and if the number is "1" (true), then "PayPalAccepted" must also be set to "1", unless you are in Managed Payments.
If you use Business Policies, then the "ImmediatePayRequired" is already set within the policy and you would enter the policy name under the "PaymentProfileName" heading, and remove the "ImmediatePayRequired" column and related payment columns. However, there may still be some cross dependencies within File Exchange for fields that are no longer needed by the server, and these would result in warnings, but not in failures.

Ive contacted eBay concierge support and will update here if i get a solution
have tried all sorts,
Error - Input data for tag <Item.AutoPay> is invalid or missing. Please check API documentation.|Item.AutoPay|
Which I tried to solve by removing:
PayPalAccepted | PayPalEmailAddress | ImmediatePayRequired |
1 | 1 |
And replacing with:
AutoPay |
TRUE |
(as I am part on managed payments)
then it brings this error:
Error - Input data for tag <Item.ListingType> is invalid or missing. Please check API documentation.|Item.ListingType|
tried entering 'GTC' but doesnt work, not sure what to do next

I've talked to concierge support as well. They had me remove those 3 columns plus several others. It did get the file to move past the autopay error, but am stuck now, like you, at <Item.ListingType>. I am awaiting a call back from the Advanced App team. I was lucky enough to get a concierge support who used to be a member of the app team and was able to get some progress through him until we ran into the <Item.ListingType> error. I will update here if I get a solution.

Hello everybody, eBay italian support solved the issue.
They sent me a new csv file that can be filled as I want and it works perfectly.
