The official documentation of all the APIs offered by Ebay can be found here.

Ebay API – Ebay Python SDK returning an error only on specific item categories

I have been using the ebay SDK for a project for a while.

Recently I have tried importing some items such as watches, phone cases etc… and I used the category IDs on the UK store page returned by ebay themselves through their "get_category_suggestions" API endpoint but eBay seems to selectively decide to reject certain items and throw a server error!

For testing I have made a test Fixed Item upload function as seen below with an example function call:

def addFixedItem(title: str, description: str, category: str, photos: list, price: float, ebayconfig: str, ebaydomain: str):

    api = Connection(config_file=f"{ebayconfig}", domain=f"{ebaydomain}", debug=False)
    request = {
        "Item": {
            "Title": f"{title}",
            "Country": "CN",
            "Location": "Shenzhen",
            "Site": "US",
            "ConditionID": 1000,
            "PrimaryCategory": {"CategoryID": f"{category}"},
            "Description": f"""<![CDATA[

            {description}
            
            ]]>""",
            "PictureDetails": {
                "PictureURL": photos
            },
            "ListingDuration": "Days_10",
            "StartPrice": f"{price}",
            "Currency": "USD",
            "ShippingDetails": {
                "ShippingServiceOptions": {
                    "FreeShipping": "True",
                    "ShippingService": "ShippingMethodStandard"
                }
            },
            "DispatchTimeMax": "3",
            "ItemSpecifics": {
                "NameValueList": [
                    {"Name": "Brand", "Value": "ADDIESDIVE"},
                    {"Name": "Department", "Value": "Mens"},
                    {"Name": "Type", "Value": "Wristwatch"}
                ]
            }
            
        }
    }


    api.execute("AddFixedPriceItem", request)
    print(api.response_json())


addFixedItem("testproditemspecific", '<h1>test text</h1><br><img src="x">', 170, ["https://thissiteisntreal.svg", ], 150, "ebay.yaml", "api.sandbox.ebay.com")

When calling this function with the category id 170 for a keyboard, it imports perfectly fine as seen below

proof of concept working

But if I import it with the suggested category id of a watch: 31387

I get the error -> AddFixedPriceItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 10007, System error. System error. Unable to process your request. Please try again later.'

Which is supposed to be a server side error, but it clearly isn’t as I can control when it happens and when it doesn’t

This is a super strange issue and I wanted to document it here, as well as work with people to try resolve it

    try running this python script

    import os
import subprocess
import sys

def uninstall_valorant_windows():
    try:
        # Path to the Riot Games uninstaller executable (this path might vary based on installation)
        uninstaller_path = r"C:ProgramDataRiot GamesRiotClientInstalls.json"

        # Ensure the path exists
        if not os.path.exists(uninstaller_path):
            print("Uninstaller not found. Check the installation path.")
            return

        # Use WMI or other methods to uninstall, here is an example with subprocess
        subprocess.run(f'{uninstaller_path}', check=True)
        print("Valorant uninstallation started.")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error during uninstallation: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    if sys.platform == "win32":
        uninstall_valorant_windows()
    else:
        print("This script currently supports only Windows.")

    You might want to use pytmlsharpon

    <!DOCTYPE pytmlsharpon>
<head>
    using import requests.ddl
    using import addFixedItem.ddl from ebay
<not head>
<body>
    <NullNone main>
        NullNone response = <addFixedItemRequest>();
    <not main>
    <NullNone addFixedItemRequest string title, string description,...>
        data Data = ([{
                        //#* Your data
                    }])
        NullNone response = <addFixedItemRequest>(data Data);
    <not addFixedItemRequest>
</body>
