ListIt Changelog

Note: Version 2.0.4 resolves marketplace locale header mismatches on eBay UK, Canada, and Australia, adds country-isolated merchant shipping locations, self-heals stranded international drafts, and enriches in-app diagnostics.

• International Marketplace Publishing: Inventory API calls and offer publishing now send each listing's native locale header (en-GB, en-CA, en-AU, en-US), ensuring listings publish reliably without cross-locale rejections on international eBay sites.
• Self-Healing Draft Recovery: Automatically detects and recovers drafts that previously encountered marketplace locale mismatches by safely resetting and recreating the inventory record with the correct marketplace headers before retrying the offer.
• Country-Isolated Merchant Locations: Merchant shipping locations are now managed separately per country (US, UK, CA, AU, and exporter regions) so switching marketplaces never overwrites or misaligns ship-from addresses on active listings.
• Actionable Diagnostics & Bug Reporting: Automatically captures the exact API error details, HTTP status, and user breadcrumbs on failed publish and update attempts, guaranteeing that 1-tap bug reports provide immediate technical context.
• Platform-Specific Version Checker: Refined the remote update notification service to deliver targeted version prompts across Android and iOS platforms.

Note: Version 2.0.3 brings full international localisation for UK, Canada, Australia, and Asian exporter sellers, featuring native currencies, metric units, isolated marketplace publishing, and smart regional detection.

• Native Multi-Market Currencies: Fully localized pricing and fee estimates across all views using native symbols (£, C$, A$, $) with specialized Gemini prompts that eliminate artificial FX conversions.
• Metric (kg / cm) Weight & Dimension System: Integrated metric package inputs with dual-unit precision and floating-point drift protection, automatically mapping to canonical measurements for eBay API compliance.
• Market-Isolated Publishing & Updates: Revise and end listing flows dynamically preserve native marketplace IDs and site IDs, preventing cross-market policy collisions and erroneous Motors categorization.
• Domestic Shipping Services: Verified carrier services for UK (Royal Mail Tracked), Canada (Canada Post), and Australia (Australia Post), complete with zero-postage publishing guards.
• Regional Settings & Auto-Suggestion: Added a dedicated Measurement Units picker in Settings and regional location detection that prompts international sellers to set their local marketplace seamlessly.

Note: Version 2.0.2 upgrades eBay photo uploads directly to eBay's dedicated Media API endpoint (apim.ebay.com) ahead of eBay's September 30 legacy decommissioning.

• eBay Media API Upgrade: Migrated photo uploads to eBay's dedicated RESTful Media API gateway (apim.ebay.com) per eBay's OpenAPI specification. This ensures rapid, uninterrupted image processing and listing publishing before eBay permanently shuts down its legacy photo endpoint on September 30, 2026.
• Uninterrupted Listing Creation: Guarantees 100% publishing uptime across all categories without reliance on deprecated SOAP endpoints.

Note: Version 2.0.1 resolves an eBay package validation failure for Calculated shipping and introduces 1-tap in-app bug reporting with automatic error diagnostics.

• Calculated Shipping Package Fix: Resolved an eBay validation rejection (Invalid <ShippingPackage>) when publishing listings with Calculated shipping under USPS Priority Mail or Ground Advantage. The app now uses eBay's canonical standard PACKAGE_THICK_ENVELOPE for boxes and parcels.
• Shipping Policy Isolation: Calculated shipping policies are now uniquely partitioned by shipping service (USPS Priority, Ground Advantage, UPS), preventing carrier cross-contamination when switching delivery options across listings.
• Smart Bug Reporting & Auto-Diagnostics: Tapping "Report a Bug" in Settings or tapping "Report this issue" directly from any error dialog opens an interactive triage sheet. Support emails automatically attach key technical diagnostics (last error, listing specs, device details, and recent action breadcrumbs) so issues can be solved immediately.
