Why am I getting the following error when I make a VerifyAddItem request with
the .NET SDK even though I have provided a valid GalleryImage via the picture
upload feature of the SDK?
<Errors>
<ShortMessage>No Gallery Picture Provided.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>You have not supplied an image for the Gallery.</LongMessage>
<ErrorCode>40</ErrorCode>
<SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode>
<ErrorClassification>RequestError</ErrorClassification>
</Errors>
Summary
When you use the SDK for uploading pictures to the eBay Picture Server, it does
not actually upload the pictures for VerifyAddItem. Hence, the
PictureDetails container contains no PictureURL tags and if you set the
GalleryType to Gallery without any PictureURL, you get this error.
Detailed Description
To see what happens let take this example C# code used for making a VerifyAddItem call with the .NET SDK and using EPS:
|
/* private void VerifyAddItem(string uuid) { VerifyAddItemCall apicall = new VerifyAddItemCall(GetContext()); ItemType item = new ItemType(); item.Currency = CurrencyCodeType.USD; item.Country = CountryCodeType.US; item.PaymentMethods = new BuyerPaymentMethodCodeTypeCollection(); item.PaymentMethods.Add(BuyerPaymentMethodCodeType.PayPal); item.PayPalEmailAddress = 'test@foo.com'; item.Title = 'Title'; item.Description = 'Description'; item.Quantity = 1; item.PostalCode = '95125'; item.ListingDuration = 'Days_7'; item.PrimaryCategory = new CategoryType(); item.PrimaryCategory.CategoryID = '12'; item.StartPrice = new AmountType(); item.StartPrice.currencyID = CurrencyCodeType.USD; item.StartPrice.Value = 20; item.UUID = uuid; //use EPS to upload picture addItem.PictureFileList = new StringCollection(); addItem.PictureFileList.Add(@'C:\temp\Pic1.jpg'); addItem.PictureFileList.Add(@'C:\TEMP\Pic2.jpg'); item.PictureDetails = new PictureDetailsType(); item.PictureDetails.GalleryType = GalleryTypeCodeType.Gallery; FeeTypeCollection fees = apicall.VerifyAddItem(item); } |
If you look at the log file, this is the SOAP request this is what is actually
sent:

<PhotoDisplay>None</PhotoDisplay>
</PictureDetails>
</Item>
</VerifyAddItemRequest>

</soap:Envelope>
Since this is a VerifyAddItem call, the pictures are not actually uploaded,
there is no PictureURL, but the GalleryType is set to Gallery. Hence it
returns the error 'You have not supplied an image for
the Gallery'.
Workaround:
-
Comment out the code to set the GalleryType for the VerifyAddItem call and the request will go through fine.
-
Instead of using EPS to upload pictures, set dummy URLs as under:
item.PictureDetails = new PictureDetailsType();
item.PictureDetails.PictureURL = new StringCollection();
item.PictureDetails.PictureURL.Add('http://www.mydomain.com/pic1.jpg');
item.PictureDetails.PictureURL.Add('http://www.mydomain.com/pic2.jpg');
item.PictureDetails.GalleryType = GalleryTypeCodeType.Gallery;
item.PictureDetails.PhotoDisplay = PhotoDisplayCodeType.VendorHostedPictureShow;
And when you actually make an AddItem call, use the EPS to upload pictures.
