eBay Post-Order APIVersion 2.7.7

Errors by Number

This table lists all error and warning messages that could be encountered using the eBay Post-Order API.

All error messages are provided in English only. You can use the ID as an index into your own structure for supplying messages in whatever language or format you wish, but base your message translations on the error strings in this table.

Each error is either an Application Error, System Error or Request Error. This error type is indicated in error result sets by the value returned in the errorMessage.error.category return field. The error type indicates what sort of action the application, the developer, or the end-user needs to take in response to the error. Please refer to the Error Response documentation for details about the fields and values returned for error conditions.

Some of the errors use variables, where the returned entity or value varies based on the context. The variables in these error messages are represented with integer values, wrapped with curly brackets. The first/only variable in an error message will display as {0}, and the second variable in an error message will display as {1}. The actlual errors that are triggered when using the API will actually shown meaningful information/values.
