I've been trying to list a few auctions, and when I try to "EBay Preview" or Launch I get this error message:
1. Location Too Long.
Your item's location can not more than 45 characters.
I do not know if this changed recently or not, but this is the way it is at eBay now to.
If you go to eBay directly, they will not allow you to post that whole URL into the item location box. You may need to find a way to drastically shorten the URL you are entering to make an image appear in your location box.

The location referred to in the error message is the "city, state" field in the location section of the AW listing form. This field populates "Location" on the actual eBay listing.
The eBay API, which we are now using to launch auctions, limits the number of characters allowed in this field to 45. You will be able to launch and preview if you reduce the number of characters in this field to 45 or less.
We are in discussions with eBay engineering to find a long term solution to this issue.
