Answer
Your request is missing the VariationSpecificsSet container i.e. set of all variation names and values that can be applicable to the listing. This must include (but is not limited to) all names and values specified in the VariationSpecifics nodes. For your request the VariationSpecificsSet container would look like
<VariationSpecificsSet>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Size-Fit</Name>
<Value>M-NORMAL</Value>
<Value>L-NORMAL</Value>
<Value>S-LONG</Value>
<Value>XL-LONG</Value>
</NameValueList>
</VariationSpecificsSet>
REF: https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/types/VariationsType.html:
| VariationSpecificsSet: The set of all variation specific names and values that can be applicable to the listing (at any time in its life cycle). This must include all names and values specified in the VariationSpecifics nodes. |
