eBay API additem returns error when creating Buy It Now listing

I am using the following code to list items in eBay through their API. However, the code below only creates auction type listings.

I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can create buy it now items/listings instead?

Thank You

This is my XML request.

If I understand correctly, and you are trying to create a Buy it Now listing instead of an auction listing, then it's simple: you just need to use a different API call AddFixedPriceItem.

Here is the API reference with all the details.
