| Developer Impact: |

| This feature impacts developers who wish to pass along key transaction messages from eBay to sellers and buyers. |

| Feature Description: |
| |
| Currently, eBay provides generic information when sellers or buyers attempt to conduct an activity that they have been restricted from doing. For example, if a seller tries to list an item with a BIN and has less than 10 feedback, the error message returned to the application is... “- Item cannot be listed or modified, either because the title and/or description contains improper words, or some other reasons stated in the Message node of the response, if any.†With this project, targeted blocking and non-blocking messages will be passed to the users via the API, identifying a more specific reason why the listing failed. Blocking messages will be returned along with API blocking errors and non-blocking messages will be returned with regular API results.
