Error 707 — Actual rate shipping is not allowed in this listing

Actual rate shipping is allowed in eBay USA and eBay Motors only. But it's not allowed in Vehicle category, Real Estate Ad-Format and Great Collection.

Every eBay listing must be in a valid leaf category — not a parent or deprecated category. eBay periodically retires categories, so old listings or templates may reference IDs that no longer exist.

1. Look up your product's leaf category at eBay → Seller Hub → Listing Tools → Category Lookup.
2. Use the GetCategories API call (Trading API) or the Sell Catalog API to validate category IDs programmatically.
3. Don't list at the parent level — eBay redirects buyers to the leaf category and may block parent-level listings.
4. If the category was deprecated, eBay's listing tool will suggest a successor — use that instead.

• Hardcoded category IDs in feed templates — refresh from eBay's current taxonomy quarterly
• Cross-listing the same product to the same category in multiple sites (US, UK, AU) — each has different IDs
