I suddenly am getting this message during launch control. I still have lots of fixed price slots from my store available. See screenshots. What does this mean?

This may have resolved itself - due to a storm here yesterday, my internet connection is near dial up speed and so canceling the preflight and trying again eventually got rid of that error. What does it mean though?
Hi,
we do not use the StoresFixedPrice
in GarageSale. It was deprecated/removed from the API back in 2008. I guess this was just a hiccup on eBay’s end.
Basically what it means is the that items of type StoresFixedPrice
where automatically changed/migrated to FixedPriceItem
.
The list underneath lists the used and available free items for your account (when I am not mistaken).
As this is a warning you may just ignore it.
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks! Yeah, the screenshot below was separate - just showing I had plenty of “slots” left for free listings.
They got rid of another one of their APIs in February officially, that I used with a Discord bot that publishes new listings to a channel. Around March they finally turned it off, but sometimes, randomly, it comes back on, and the bot, which is still running - will publish new listings.
Guess all their APIs live on for a few seconds every few weeks. Thanks for the quick reply, Paul!
I suspect there’s something weird about eBay’s release process that involves swapping out “current version” API servers and swapping in “archived” API servers. I wonder if the obsolete “archived” ones are in some sort of emergency pool that gets activated because of some bad lambda scripting or something.
Every few months I’ll see some weird and extremely incorrect API error/warning message pop up when I’m launching listings, but only about 1/6 or 1/8 of the listings I’m launching (despite them all being similar enough). The “fixed price no longer supported” is one of them, but also occasionally it’s something about the old category structure (like “listing has been moved to a new category”), despite my listings being correct in their current categories. When I check, it turns out the listing was not moved to any new category.
I suppose it could also be that the API is working, but weird spurious errors/warnings are popping up. That might be less risky.
I find that if I wait about 10 minutes and try again, these waves of false memories seem to go away.
