 * Hello albertramsbottom.
 * I am happy to assist you today.
 * If you are trying to use the “Does not apply” option and you don’t have an actual
   valid EAN, then you would need to contact eBay and ask them why that value is
   not valid for the category you are listing to. If I remember correctly, there
   are some categories which must have a valid EAN and the “Does not apply” value
   will not work. If eBay confirms that for the category you are listing to, then
   you will need to provide a valid EAN.
 * If you are asking why does WP-Lister send “Does not apply” it would likely be
   because you are using the “Missing product identifiers” feature in WP-Lister 
   which is explained here: [Error 21919301: UPC / EAN is missing](https://docs.wplab.com/article/122-error-required-field-ean-is-missing-21919301-on-ebay)
   and you could disable that setting, then supply the proper EAN in the edit product
   page and revise the unlocked listing on WP-Lister’s “Listings” page.
 * Sorry but at this time WP-Lister does not support multisite wordpress installs.
 * Kind regards,
    John

 * Hi
 * We dont need EAN’s for the clothing category we are in as we create custom products.
   Also I have listed before using M2ePro from Magento and we do not need EAN’s
 * You mention disabling a setting in WP lister
 * “you are using the “Missing product identifiers” feature”
 * Where is this feature??
 * Many Thanks
 * PS We can list and revise, we are just getting this warning for every variation
   on the edit product page

 * Hello albertramsbottom.
 * Even if you don’t need to provide an EAN, the category may not allow for the 
   value “Does not apply” which is added by the missing product identifiers setting
   in WP-Lister when the setting is enabled and the EAN is blank. So I would recommend
   trying to disable that setting and simply sending no EAN value. As explained 
   in the documentation I sent you, you can find the setting under the eBay > Settings
   > Advanced page.
 * If you are only getting a warning about it, you really don’t need to worry about
   it. It won’t effect your seller status or listing status in any way. But if you
   want it gone, it sounds like that missing product identifiers setting needs to
   be disabled.
 * Kind regards,
    John
