addItem: You have not specified in my eBay whether you are a private or business seller


I have received the following response while trying to do an addItem post in my sandbox:
"You have not specified in my eBay whether you are a private or business seller."

In my sandbox account (testuser_dienaseTEST) I'm registered as an individual/private user, so I don't know what to change, how to proceed here. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @raghupalak-0,

You can use this link to change your test user's account type:
https://scgi.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ChangeRegistrationAccountType&guest=1

After you submit the change, you will be redirected to the eBay Sandbox home page.

Best Regards ,

What if I want to create a generic application and don't have a business ebay account that can be linked to my sandbox account? I need to test against a business account but only have a personal ebay account at the moment and the link https://scgi.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ChangeRegistrationAccountType&guest=1 is dead

Hi! We are getting the same error:

"Sie haben in Mein eBay nicht angegeben, ob Sie ein Privatnutzer oder als Unternehmen Ihre Artikel verkaufen. Sie können erst dann wieder verkaufen, wenn Sie den Typ Ihres eBay-Kontos angegeben haben. Bitte aktualisieren Sie Ihre Anmeldedaten in Mein eBay."

We can not change our sandbox account because the link (https://scgi.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ChangeRegistrationAccountType&guest=1 ) is not working.

@ Could you please change it? Our Sandbox user is: testuser_vidaltestde
