When I try to list an Item, I get the following error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<AddItemResponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">

How can I fix this?

Summary

After creating an account, you need to set it up as a seller account. 

To set up a seller account on Production:
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/registering-seller?id=5226

To set up a seller account on Sandbox:
Sandbox does not go through the verification and validation as the production, since it is a test environment.  The easiest way to create and setup an account as a seller account at the same time, use the eBay Sandbox User Registration .  If you have already created an account, then you can make use of the API call ValidateTestUserRegistration to set up the account as a seller account.
