For one or more of your products, you’ve submitted the value “online” for the option [option] sub-attribute of the vehicle fulfillment [vehicle_fulfillment] attribute. According to our information, you have not been approved for online fulfillment and therefore are not eligible to submit this value for this attribute. As a result, your offer has been disapproved.

To resolve this issue, you must be approved for online vehicle fulfillment. If you only intend to sell vehicles in store, you can resolve the issue by taking the following steps:

Submit a value of “in_store” for the option [option] sub-attribute.
Specify the relevant store codes in the store code [store_code] attribute.

If your account is not approved for vehicle ads, you either must not submit this offer or follow the steps to become a vehicle seller.
