Hi,

Thanks, this is critical. We're really blocked here since we cannot deliver our client.

Hello, Jack.

I found the buyer in the list that's causing this problem. It's the buyer with id=767278293 at index 22857. It has an invalid XML character, specifically the unicode bell character (\x07). As far as I know, there's no way to ignore invalid XML in the Python client library. You could raise an issue on the Python library to verify with the client library owners that you can't ignore invalid XML or to request that ability in a feature request.

A workaround would be to leave off the Name column in your request.

Hello, Jack.

I just wanted to follow up on this to tell you that the buyer's name has been corrected, so you should no longer see this error, and therefore the workaround I provided should no longer be necessary. Please let me know if any issues persist.
