I want to develop a system like exporting products from my site to ebay site. I created developer account and got sample code for adding products to ebay. I got PHP sample code from https://www.x.com/developers/eBay/documentation-tools/code-sample/219177 . I added sandbox API details in the sample code and when I run the code I get this error :
eBay returned the following error(s):
21916250 : Return policy is not specified.
A return policy must be specified.
I am new to ebay integration? How can I specify Return policy in ebay sample code. I am am adding sample code for your reference:
<?php require_once('../get-common/keys.php') ?>
<?php require_once('../get-common/eBaySession.php') ?>

Like Ignacio said, just add a
ReturnPolicytag after theDescriptiontag, for example something like this:
