Here's an example of eBay response data:

In the response data, we see "<ShortMessage>Inconsistent shipping parameters.</ShortMessage>". This tells you to look at our eBay shipping settings on the Integrations page. In this example, the error occurred for a product that weights more than 1 lb (16 oz) but the only shipping service level provided in the retailer's integrations card was USPS First Class. To fix this, the retailer simply added USPS Priority to their eBay integrations card and clicked the "SAVE" button.
