Common errors with decenterads.com lines

Seller type BOTH

-
RESELLER but publisher
1,331 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask decenterads.com why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
-
Seller ID not found

Ask decenterads.com for the account ID it lists for you in its sellers.json, correct the line, or remove it if you no longer work with them. Buyers that check sellers.json drop these paths.
-
DIRECT but intermediary
5 lines
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask decenterads.com to list it as PUBLISHER.
