Im trying to list an item on ebay with the Ebay Tradding API using php and CURL.
XML Request and CURL syntax seems fine to me, but API returns Invalid job context type error.
I suppose I'm missing something in the Header.
My request code is following:
$xml_string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AddItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>*Token*</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>

<Item>
<Title>'.$postdata['item_name'].'</Title>
<Description>'.$postdata['external_comments'].'</Description>
<PrimaryCategory>
<CategoryID>377</CategoryID>
</PrimaryCategory>
<StartPrice>'.$postdata['ebay_price'].'</StartPrice>

</AddItemRequest>';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/ws/api.dll");
$headers = array(
'Content-Type: text/xml',
'X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL: 967',
'X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME: ',
'X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME: ',
'X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME: ',
'X-EBAY-API-SITEID: 2',
'X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME: AddItems'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "xmlRequest=" . $xml_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 300);
And the response is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

When I tried the same XML with API explorer. The request went through.
Some issue with the CURL I suppose.
Your specify X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME as AddItems
Your XML is an AddItemRequest
These must match. AddItem & AddItems are 2 different calls.
