I am getting the following warning in the response while making a ReviseInventoryStatus api call . Why ?
<Errors>
<ShortMessage>Requested StartPrice and Quantity revision is redundant.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>The existing price and quantity values are identical to those specified in the request and, therefore, have not been modified.</LongMessage>
<ErrorCode>21917091</ErrorCode>
<SeverityCode>Warning</SeverityCode>
The reason you are getting this warning is because you are trying to update the values for price and quantity which are already stored in eBay database.
For example : Lets say you listed an item with SKU-123, Quanity-3 and Price-12.25 and one of the item was checked out which means Quantity Available is 2 now.
If you now make a call to ReviseInventoryStatus with the following values in the request :
<InventoryStatus ComplexType="InventoryStatusType">
<SKU>SKU-123</SKU>
<StartPrice>2</StartPrice>
<Quantity>12.25 </Quantity>
</InventoryStatus>
you will get the warning-21917091 because there is no change in price and quantity. The price is same as the original listing and also the quantity being updated in the request( i.e.2 ) is already stored in eBay database as Quantity Available - 2.
Since there is nothing to be updated or Revised, you get this warning for redundancy :
<ShortMessage>Requested StartPrice and Quantity revision is redundant.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>The existing price and quantity values are identical to those specified in the request and, therefore, have not been modified.</LongMessage>
