Invalid value for package type

In this article we'll explain what this error means and how to solve it. If the package type selected for the product you want to publish on eBay is not accepted for that product's category, the following error message will appear:

Written by Floris Assman

{"errors":[{"errorId":25101,"domain":"API_INVENTORY","subdomain":"Selling","category":"Request","message":"Invalid value for .","parameters":[{"name":"0","value":"err:216305|MailingBoxes"}]}]}
​

This means eBay doesn't accept the package type "MAILING_BOX" for the category this product is listed in. Every eBay category has its own list of allowed package types, and this one isn't on the list.
​

How to resolve:

  1. Go to the product in WooCommerce.

  2. Open the eBay tab.

  3. Find the "Package Type" field.

  4. Choose a different package type, for example:

    • PACKAGE_THICK_ENVELOPE

    • LARGE_ENVELOPE

    • PADDED_BAGS

  5. Or leave the field empty if eBay doesn't require it for that category.

By choosing a package type that's allowed for the product's category, this error should be resolved.
