Common errors with themediasense.com lines
-
RESELLER but publisher
1,540 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask themediasense.com why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
-
Seller type BOTH
798 lines
The account is listed as BOTH, so sellers.json alone cannot tell a buyer which relationship applies. Nothing to fix on your side; buyers usually look at the seller's domain.
-
Seller ID not found
583 lines
Ask themediasense.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
11 lines
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask themediasense.com to list it as PUBLISHER.
