AddFixedPriceItem Call... No <Item.Country> exists?

[fccardiff]

Hi, I'm trying to make an AddFixedPriceItemCall. I'm using the ebayApiPostXmlRequest method, and my params are seen below:

params: {
            authToken: myAuthTokenIsHere,
            Item: {
                Country: 'US',
                Currency: 'USD',
                Description: description,
                ListingType: 'FixedPriceItem',
                PictureDetails: picturesArray,
                Quantity: '5',
                StartPrice: price
            },
}

I have auth tokens, etc. and all application tokens, I've simply omitted that code from here. Unfortunately, it's giving errors that the country doesn't exist, although it's obviously shown in my Item{} object. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you!

Try looking at this page: http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/Concepts/SiteIDToGlobalID.html

It might be that you need to pass a different ID value.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I tried with Country: '0', Country: 'US', and Country: 'EBAY-US', and none have worked.

Here's my full call in NodeJS - maybe I placed it in the wrong area?

var ebay = require('ebay-api');
ebay.ebayApiPostXmlRequest({
    serviceName: 'Trading',
    opType: 'AddFixedPriceItem',
    devName: myDevId,
    cert: myCertId,
    appName: myAppId,
    sandbox: true,
    title: title,
    params: {
        'authToken': myClientAuthToken,
        version: EBAY_API_VERSION,
        Item: {
            Country: 'EBAY-US', 
            Currency: 'USD',
            Description: description,
            ListingType: 'FixedPriceItem',
            PictureDetails: picturesArray,
            Quantity: '5',
            StartPrice: price
        },
    }
}, function (error, results) {
    if (error) {
        console.dir(error);
        process.exit(1);
    }
    console.dir(results);
});

Your header might not have the right entries.

X-EBAY-SOA-GLOBAL-ID is passed as part of the auth. I'll look at this code later this evening and see if I can get a working example for you.

OK, thanks! It would really help if I could get this working :)

Looking thru my code, I think you'll need a GlobalID = 'EBAY-US' as part of your request. I haven't used AddFixedPriceItemCall using the node api yet.

Hm, unfortunately this is not seeming to fix it, either. I'm thinking that I'm missing something in the Item object, as I've also been getting issues such as No <Item.Currency> exists, No <Item.ListingDuration> exists, etc. Although ListingDuration isn't mentioned in my example above, even if I add it into my Item object, the API is acting as if it's missing. Is there something wrong with my Item object implementation possibly?

[fccardiff]

Hm, I still can't manage to do it. Any clue why this wouldn't work?

Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to play with this in detail yet. Busy weekend. I'll try to take another look tonight.

No worries, thanks!

On a side note, if this API doesn't end up working, should I just switch to XML?

Did you find a solution to this? I have the same issue using the "AddItem" call.
