Creating new listings using upload template - help with required fields not in template

[brakecrafters]

I would like to create listings in bulk using the Reports > Upload tool, but am receiving two errors for missing fields that are not in the template.  The two fields in question are WEIGHT and POSTAL CODE, and I do not know what header to use for the upload since it is not in the template.  I am assuming the weight is the package weight, which is not a required field when entering a new listing manually.  Postal code usually defaults to my store location, so again, should not be required.  

ErrorCode  717   The package weight is not valid or is missing. Provide a valid number for the weight.

ErrorCode  737   Please enter a valid postal code.

If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it!  I have called eBay and they do not readily have a solution, but have listed it as a potential bug (that the fields are required and not in template).

for Postal Code you need to add column in your spreadsheet with 

PostalCode

as heading and make sure column is formatted as text and use 5 digits for zip

for weight do you use business policies?

Thank you for the tag

Whether you are using Business Policies or not, if your listing is using Calculated Shipping, these are the shipping columns to add to your spreadsheet:

• WeightMajor (whole pounds)
• WeightMinor (whole ounces)
• WeightUnit ("lb" or "kg")

• PackageDepth (whole inches)
• PackageLength (whole inches)
• PackageWidth (whole inches)

• PackageType ("None", "Letter", "LargeEnvelope", "PackageThickEnvelope", "USPSLargePack" valid for any  carriers)
• PostalCode (digits)

Additionally, when offering items Internationally through eBay's export program, eBay will need the weight and dimensions of the item to provide an accurate shipping cost to the buyer for the international leg. Now that eBay is making it easier to ship internationally, this will become more important.

We do use business policies, but it was still requiring the fields.  Thanks for directing ShipScript to respond.  I really appreciate your guidance!
