Question

I'm listing an item on a Motors category, specifying a standard shipping method. Why do I get the following error? <Errors> <ShortMessage>Shipping service is not available.</ShortMessage> <LongMessage>Shipping service Standard Delivery(201) is not available.</LongMessage> <ErrorCode>12519</ErrorCode> <SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode>

Answer

Summary

The reason why you are getting the error is due to the fact that not all Motors categories allow shipping. For many Motors categories there are only two options for shipping services:

- The buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping. (Recommended)
- See item description for shipping details. (Specify shipping details in your item description.)
