How to add multiple pictures in Python ebay sdk

Here is my setup:

Python 3.4

Using the Trading API

Attempting to call eBay's "VerifyAddItem"

I marked where I get the Error, in PicURL, and I'm trying to post multiple pictures with multiple URLs. I'm currently just trying out two pictures let's say http://i.ebayimg.com/picture1 and http://i.ebayimg.com/picture2. (I realize that these are not real pictures, but that's not part of the problem I'm having)

The eBay API Documentations states To specify multiple pictures, send each URL in a separate, PictureDetails.PictureURL element. The first URL passed in will be the Gallery image and appears on the View Item page. So I tried passing both of the following lines to no avail:

"PictureDetails": {"PictureURL": ["http://i.ebayimg.com/picture1",
                                  "http://i.ebayimg.com/picture2"]}

and

"PictureDetails": [{"PictureURL": "http://i.ebayimg.com/picture1"},
                   {"PictureURL": "http://i.ebayimg.com/picture2"}]

I get the following errors from eBay's connection, respectively:

VerifyAddItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 37, Input data is invalid. 
Input data for tag <Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL[2]> is invalid or missing. Please 
check API documentation.

and

VerifyAddItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 37, Input data is invalid. 
Input data for tag <Item.PictureDetails[2].PictureURL> is invalid or missing. Please 
check API documentation.

Unfortunately, I have run out of ideas. Please help! Here is the full dictionary, don't worry about the logic, as I have verified that everything else works fine.

api = Trading(config_file="ebay.yaml", warnings=False)

Well nevermind... I feel dumb... Since I'm still working in sandbox, I'm passing test photos where some of the URLs in the list PicURL do not point to a valid photo.

If anyone else gets these errors, the first format is the correct one:

"PictureDetails": {"PictureURL": ["http://i.ebayimg.com/picture1",
                                  "http://i.ebayimg.com/picture2"]}
