While listing on eBay, if you get the following error :

"XML Error Text: "; nested exception is: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 96; columnNumber: 356; An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x2) was found in the CDATA section.".

Then Please check for any special characters in Title or Description,

If you see any special characters, please remove those and save the listing.

After saving the listing , please try to list again.

Here is one of the Use Cases that we ran into

While trying to list the following, We received the following error:

""XML Error Text: "; nested exception is: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 96; columnNumber: 356; An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x2) was found in the CDATA section."."

Upon investigating , We found special character which I have highlighted below in the description

To fix it , we just removed the highlighted special character and relisted the listing and it listed correctly.

We hope this help's, If you have any question do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
