Error 449 — Shipping costs, tax, insurance, <CheckoutDetailsSpecified>, <PayCondition> not allowed

What this means

You have supplied either shipping costs and/or tax and/or insurance related tag(s) and/or <CheckoutDetailsSpecified> and/or <PayCondition> tag(s). These tags are not allowed for eBay Motors items.

Why this happens

Most eBay categories require a condition value (New, Used, For Parts, etc.), and the allowed values vary by category. Missing or invalid conditions block the listing.

How to fix it

  1. Look up valid ConditionID values for your category via the GetCategoryFeatures API or eBay's category-feature reference.
  2. Most categories use: 1000 (New), 1500 (New other), 2000 (Manufacturer refurbished), 2500 (Seller refurbished), 3000 (Used), 7000 (For parts/not working).
  3. Some categories (e.g., trading cards, collectibles) have specialized condition codes — use the category-specific values.
  4. If the condition is 'Used', also fill in ConditionDescription with details on wear/damage.
