Hi there,
There are currently several known scenarios that may result in error 240. Please check the following:
1. eBay has updated the password you have on file with them. To resolve this, you will need to log on to eBay and take the following steps:
- Click on the "site map" link at the top of the eBay page.
- Scroll through the "Services" section (top of middle column.)
- Click on the "I forgot my password" link (located in the middle column.)
After entering your eBay ID on this page, bypass the "secret question" and click the "send me password instructions" link near the bottom of the page. An email will then be sent to you from eBay with instructions on completing the password change.
Once you have successfully changed your password at eBay, you will need to update the password on our site. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to My Account -> Auction Site Accounts. Click the "edit" link next to your eBay ID.
- Enter your new password.
- Save the changes.
2. You are attempting to list an item in a Travel category on eBay before registering for SquareTrade (note that you must be a SquareTrade member before listing to these categories.)
- For more information, and to register for SquareTrade, use this URL:
3. You are attempting to list an item in a Healthcare category that may not meet eBay requirements. For more information on this, please refer to this URL:
4. You are attempting to list an item in an Wine or Alcohol category. eBay has specific rules and regulations that must be met before listing in these categories. For more information on this, please refer to this URL:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/alcohol.html
If your item is not Wine or Alcohol, please select a different category for it.
5. You are attempting to list an Adult item with Paypal selected as a payment option, which is no longer allowed by eBay. If this is the case, you will need to revise your item and remove Paypal from the list of payment options.
6. You are attempting to list another type of item that may have restrictions. For a list of eBay restricted and prohibited items, please reference this URL:
7. You are flagging your item as an 'Easy To Buy' item, but you have not specified the listing format to be fixed-price. 'Easy To Buy' items must be fixed-price, and other restrictions may apply. Please change the format of your listings to be fixed-price, or remove the 'Easy To Buy' code/reference from your listing descriptions.
