For one or more of your products, you’ve submitted the value “in_store” for the option [option] sub-attribute of the vehicle fulfillment [vehicle_fulfillment] attribute or specified a store code for the store code [store_code] attribute. According to our information, you have not been approved for in-store vehicle 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 in-store vehicle fulfillment. If you only intend to sell vehicles online, you can resolve the issue by taking the following steps:

Submit a blank value for the store code [store_code] attribute in your primary feed.
Submit a value of “online” for the option [option] sub-attribute.

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