ebay File exchange BAF.Error.5 code, can't tell what's wrong?

I have the correct siteID country code in the action cell and I have "Add" correctly capitalised, yet I still get an error. Anyone have any ideas because now I'm stumped.

For the UK, your SiteID is UK and your country code is GB

*Action(SiteID=UK|Country=GB|Currency=GBP|Version=941)

 

If you are using a Mac computer, be sure that you export your file as a DOS CSV rather than in Apple format. The line-ends differ between Microsoft (CR-LF) and Mac (LF-CR), and the original File Exchange was based on Excel for Windows.

 

Additionally, do not export as UTF-8 or Unicode. I believe the UK File Exchange still uses the Windows 1252 or ISO 8859-1 character encoding, as does the US site. If the CSV file contains hidden DOM control characters at the front of the first "Action" field, the file will be rejected.

 

Lastly, make sure there are no extra linebreaks within any single cell or stray data at the end of the file. Extra linebreaks will look like new records without an Action verb.
