Thank you very much!

On the sandbox ebay site I've tried to set up payment properly with no success as almost every link is broken...I've enable direct debit option for the bank in the sandbox business account above, but unfortunately have the following error response from your API.

Hi @mwhq_developer ,

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Please use any payment method other than the DirectDebit in your request. We suggest you use payment methods like PayPal, VisaMC and CreditCard in the Additem/AddFixedPriceItem request to avoid payment related errors when you are listing on sandbox.

Ref: https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/reference/ebay/extra/addfxdprcitm.rqst.itm.pymntmthds.html

Also, we suggest you to use GetCategoryFeatures to determine the payment methods that are allowed for a category on a site before listing an item.

Thank you for your response!

I only send paypal as payment method.

The related xml part as follows:

<PaymentMethods>PayPal</PaymentMethods>
<PayPalEmailAddress>sb-t0kgi5123030@business.example.com</PayPalEmailAddress>
