Why do I get the following error, when I try to include a secondary category to my multi-variation listing?
<Errors> <ShortMessage>Variations not enabled in category</ShortMessage> <LongMessage>Selected category is not enabled for variation listings</LongMessage> <ErrorCode>21916564</ErrorCode> <SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode> <ErrorClassification>RequestError</ErrorClassification> </Errors>
It is not permissible to include a secondary category which is not variation enabled to any multi-variation item.
This includes Revising an existing item to add a secondary category which does not support multi-variation listings.
To check to see if a category is Variation Enabled, call GetCategoryFeatures and look for the following tag.
<VariationsEnabled>
If this returns false, you cannot include this category in your AddFixedPriceItem, RelistItem, or ReviseFixedPriceItem request.
