Description:
------------
The AddItem throws an error even when the result xml from ebay just contains warnings. This is a problem because the Item will get added but there is no way to get the Id that ebay assigned to that item.

Lets say the Item that is going to be passed to AddItem is being assigned the following properties:
[AmEx] => 1
[Border] => 1
[BoldTitle] => 1
[BuyItNowPrice] => 25.32
[CashOnPickupAccepted] => 1
[Category] => 2228
[Category2] => 378
[CategoryMappingAllowed] => 1
[CheckoutDetailsSpecified] => 1
[CheckoutInstructions] => This is test of checkout Instructions
[Counter] => 1
[Country] => US
[Currency] => $
[Description] => This book is awesome.
[Duration] => 10
[Gallery] => 1
[GalleryURL] => http://69.66.137.101:8080/phpnuke/html/images/new_day.gif
[GiftIcon] => 1
[Highlight] => 1
[InsuranceFee] => 0.50
[Location] => 52556
[MinimumBid] => 1.50
[Quantity] => 1
[ReservePrice] => 5.30
[ShippingType] => 1
[Title] => Beggining CSS
[Type] => 1
[ShipToLocations] => Array
(
[ShipToLocation] => Array
(
[0] => US
[1] => DE
[2] => GB
)

)

[ShippingServiceOptions] => Array
(
[ShippingServiceOption] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[ShippingService] => 1
[ShippingServicePriority] => 1
[ShippingServiceCost] => 3
[ShippingServiceAdditionalCost] => 1
)

)

)

now, you will probably notice that I have set the property CashOnPickupAccepted which is not valid when adding to the ebay US site. Try running it and you will see u will get an error, which will lead u to believe that the item wasn't added when actually it was added. This is how the xml looks like

A error of level warning is returned by the Ebay API, and this is how warnings are defined by the Ebay API documentation:
Warnings

When the error is only a warning, the data the function would ordinarily return is still produced, but the data result set is prefixed with an error result set
