Hi Guys,

I'm trying to send an image with the createListing API method in the
sandbox and am getting the following:

The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

I've emailed the Call/Response data privately.

Any idea what might be causing this?

G.

We researched this issue and the intended behavior of the old and new
Sandbox was to ignore the binary image data for uploads to the Sandbox
but create the ListingImage record.

The good news is uploadListingImage calls work as intended in the
Sandbox (old and new).

However, as you reported, createListing calls with the optional image
that are made in the New Sandbox do not properly ignore the binary
data and instead return 500 error.

To be clear this issue does not impact the production API.

Therefore...

1) Currently, when making Sandbox createListing calls, do not also try
to pass an image. Instead use uploadListingImage in the Sandbox.

2) We will work on making Sandbox createListing calls properly ignore
image binary data.

3) Down the road we will provide ways to upload real Sandbox-only
images. This is just one example of why we are making the effort to
create a new Sandbox environment that is fully isolated -- so that we
will no longer need to fake image uploading.

Again, thank you for reporting these issues and sending helpful log messages.

Best regards,
