Why is my created product not synced to eBay (error 240)?

When you create products for eBay, the following error may occur:

AddItem: 240 The item cannot be listed or edited. The item name and/or description may contain illegal terms or the listing violates eBay policies.

We are sorry that you have encountered this error. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

  1. You're new to eBay: If this is your first eBay product, create it directly through your eBay account. You can then delete the first product and create products via Shirtee.Cloud.
  2. You have no or not enough positive reviews: Make sure you have enough positive reviews. Otherwise eBay may not let you create any more products.
  3. You use unauthorized terms: A part of the product name and/or description violates eBay policies. This can be just a single word or a sequence of words. To solve the problem, change your product name and description.
  4. Maximum sales limit reached: It is possible that you have reached your limit of products sold or sales. If this is the case, it is best to contact eBay support directly.
  5. Terms of sale not yet accepted: Just check your eBay account to see if you have already accepted the new terms of sale.
  6. E-mail address or "@" in the text: eBay does not allow the use of e-mail addresses in product descriptions.
  7. Wrong category: Check again whether you have correctly assigned the category for the product.
  8. Wrong item location: Check again whether the item location for your product has been selected correctly.
