Reply to "API ?"

Hi GrannyVix,

Welcome back!

The API warning is a message that eBay sometimes gives us when we submit the listing to them via their API to post. It indicates there was something about the listing they consider to be a problem, but the problem wasn't severe enough for them to out and out reject the listing. We pass these warning messages back to users in the notifications.

A lot of times, when eBay is in process of making a change such as enforcing return policy and handling time in listings, they will start out issuing warning messages to try to get people to conform to the change they are making. Then, after a period of time, they will figure they have given users enough time and they will turn warnings will turn into errors and fail the listings.

I hope I'm answering your question.
