XML Error: Ill-formed at the Amazon Envelope XML level at (or near) line 8, column 18

I am trying to upload product feed on Amazon.de marketplace by using Amazon MWS (in php) but get an error "XML you submitted is ill-formed at the Amazon Envelope XML level at (or near) line 8, column 18". In addition while tried to upload the same feed via scratchpad(https://mws.amazonservices.de/scratchpad/index.html) it gets uploaded.

Here is my XML request:

<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">

            </Sports>
        </ProductData>
        </Product>
    </Message>
</AmazonEnvelope>

I'm not sure exactly what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Your XML is not only well-formed, I also successfully validated it against my copy of Amazon's XSDs. Since submitting the same feed through ScratchPad works, I suspect the problem to be elsewhere, and not at all related to the error message you're getting (This is not the first time I've seen Amazon's error messages to be completely off).

Are you using Amazon's sample PHP library or your own code?
