Main posting errors on eBay

Description and resolution of possible publishing errors on eBay when publishing a product with Poleepo.

For more information on how to publish a product on eBay go to the guide: PUBLISHING PRODUCTS ON EBAY

The Marketplace is not enabled

How to fix: Enable eBay configuration


The quantity must be a valid value greater than 0.

How to solve: Enter the quantities on the main product


The selected category is not enabled for variant listings

How to fix: Change the category to the main product


eBay security rules only allow HTTPS resources in listings, not HTTP. Update or remove HTTP resources

How to solve: Check if there are references to http://… resources in the product description (images, or links to external sites). If they are present, replace them with https resources or eliminate them from the description.


It appears this listing is for an item you have already listed on eBay: (Product Name). We do not allow the same item to be listed for sale twice at the same time. If you want to list multiple identical items, create a multiple-quantity fixed-price listing.

How to solve: The listing is already present on your eBay account. Log in to your eBay account, delete the advert, then return to Poleepo and update the product.


The item cannot be put up for sale or modified. The title and/or description may contain incorrect words, or the listing or seller may have violated eBay Rules.

How to solve: Check whether the title and description comply with the “Item Description Rules” . In addition to checking that the product complies with eBay rules, check whether there are any restrictions on your eBay account.


The variant specifications and item specifications entered for an item with multiple product codes must be different from each other.

This error occurs when you have a variant attribute name that is identical to the name of a required or recommended specification for eBay categories.

Example: Your product has the name for the variant attributes “Colour” and one of the mandatory or recommended specifications on the product with the same name “Colour”.

How to solve:

  • Publish your product with the variant attribute different from the previous one and from that of eBay, for example if you are selling chairs, you might think about using "Chair Color" instead of "Colour"

  • Remap the name of the existing attribute with a different one by entering the details of the eBay publication, under the "Variants" heading. For more information, follow this guide and go to the " eBay" section .


Name missing from variant specifications or variant specification group.

How to fix : Check that there is no incorrect additional information in the variants (such as additional MPNs entered by mistake).


The value specified for Name in the ModifyNameList container does not exist in the multi-product code object

How to fix: Make sure you haven't named a variant attribute as an eBay required or recommended attribute.
