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>
Answer
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.
