eBay XML API returns 'Invalid job context type' error

Question

I am developing eBay manager that is almost completed. Everything is running fine, like posting of data, getting order details from eBay.

Now I need to update the status of Shipping Tracking numbers, Carrier on eBay. Here I am getting error and I can't figured out what is the problem. Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated.

Error response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <GetSellerTransactionsResponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"><Timestamp>2010-01-13T12:50:29.644Z<Ack>Failure<Errors><ShortMessage>Invalid job context type<LongMessage>The job context object is not supported by Action Service Framework.<ErrorCode>21843<SeverityCode>Error<ErrorParameters ParamID="0"><Value>GetSellerTransactions<ErrorParameters ParamID="1"><Value>CompleteSaleRequestTypeRequestError<Version>643<Build>E643_CORE_BUNDLED_10284414_R1</GetSellerTransactionsResponse>

Answer 1

I got this error when accidentally having the wrong X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME value for the call I was making.

For example, in my header I put GetSellerEvents, but my request body was using GetSellerList.

Hope that helps!
