Hello eBay Community,
I'm a seller trying to list products on eBay using the Sell Inventory API.
I'm successfully creating inventory items and offers using the API, but I cannot publish the offer due to a persistent error:
{
"errors": [
{
"errorId": 25002,
"message": "No <Item.Country> exists or <Item.Country> is specified as an empty tag in the request."
}
]
}
🔎 What I've done:
✅ PUT /inventory_item/{sku} → works fine
✅ POST /offer → works, returns offerId
❌ POST /offer/{offerId}/publish → fails with Item.Country error
🧪 What I've tried:
I tried using "merchantLocationKey": "default" in both the inventory item and offer calls → Still fails
I tried POST /sell/inventory/v1/location to define a warehouse location → Returns 400 - Invalid request
I tried POST /sell/inventory/v1/location/{merchantLocationKey}/enable → Returns 404 - not found
I also tried omitting merchantLocationKey altogether → same result
I listed an item manually on eBay to create a default location → but API still gives the same error
📌 Summary of my problem:
My account does not support Inventory Location API
merchantLocationKey is not usable
I cannot define or enable a location
Item.Country error cannot be fixed without it
eBay Developer Support doesn't respond or is inaccessible
🙏 What I need:
Could someone from eBay, or anyone who has solved this, please help?
✅ I believe I just need Inventory Location Management (ILM) feature to be enabled on my account so I can define locations and avoid the Item.Country error.
I’m located in Japan, and I plan to use "merchantLocationKey": "japan_warehouse_01" once it's enabled.
Thanks in advance for any help!
