Creating FixedPriceItem with ConditionDescriptors responds with error about ebay-api

[dantio]

Hey, I have no experience with adding trading card to ebay. But I will try to help you. As I understood, ConditionDescriptor is required if your ConditionId is either 2750 or 4000 for the category 261328. Since you are using 400012 and this ID is mapped to Ungraded Card Condition, I would recommend setting the ConditionId to 4000 here.
Next:
https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/user-guides/static/mip-user-guide/mip-enum-condition-descriptor-ids-for-trading-cards.html

• Used in the Condition Descriptor Value n (where n = 1-4) or conditionDescriptor.value field with the name field of 40001.

As I understood, the correct syntax should be:

 ConditionDescriptors: [
    {
      ConditionDescriptor: { Name: '40001', Value: '400012' }
    }
  ]

I hope this helps!

Hello @dantio, unfortunately this isn't working either. However it seems the syntax you provided is correct and I was using the ConditionDescriptor.Name field incorrectly.

I logged the raw XML request and it appears everything is accurate according to the AddFixedPriceItem documentation:

Unless you have any other suggestions I can only assume it's an issue with the Ebay API itself. I guess I will need to contact Ebay directly. Thank you so much for your help!

Hello @dantio, I posted my issue in the Ebay developer forums and it's likely the ConditionDescriptors aren't yet supported in the sandbox environment. I think this makes sense considering I've had other issues with the sandbox. Closing this issue because it's probably not related to this package. Thanks again for your help!
