Error Message When Posting to eBay

dmhcollectiblesMember

I posted two auctions to eBay today. They are pretty new ads, about a week or so old at most I think. They successfully listed on eBay, but I noticed that I had two error messages through the Auctiva system that implied that pretty soon ads done through Auctiva WON'T list. Both of the error messages were the same:

"API Warning

The Legacy XML format used in this request is being phased out. All applications should migrate to the Unified Schema to avoid loss of service. For more information please see http://developer.ebay.com/migration/."

Whats up, Auctiva? These were new ads, very recently done. Legacy format????

dhmcollectibles,

This is the technical explanation:
The error is refering to a change eBay made to their API program. Legacy and Uniform Schema to be specific. This 'error', does not effect your listing... but it is eBay's way of telling third parties that we need to migrate to the 'new' Uniform Schema. We are almost completely migrated, and the deadline is June 1, so everything is fine.

The non-technical explanation:
Ignore this error... in fact we probably are just going to mask it (you won't even notice that eBay returns this error).
