[Python] Calling VerifyAddFixedPriceItem python Ebay sdk

I am trying to call the VerifyAddItem endpoint with the following XML:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<VerifyAddFixedPriceItemRequest xmlns="urn:eb*y:apis:eBLBaseComponents"><RequesterCredentials><eBayAuthToken>v^1.1#i^1#r^1#I^3#p^3#f^0#t^Ul4xMF84Ojg0NUNBQzJCAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBCCCCCFAKE=</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>

</Item>
</VerifyAddFixedPriceItemRequest>



I get the following error:

VerifyAddItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 20170, Schema XML request error. Schema XML request error: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize..


When I change the PictureURL (remove the https://) ) to:

<PictureURL>www.mensworld.com.bd/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/FSF-1166.jpg</PictureURL>


I get the following error:

VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: Class: RequestError, Severity: Error, Code: 37, Input data is invalid. Input data for tag <Item.PictureDetails.PictureURL> is invalid or missing. Please check API documentation.


Anyway to figure out how to correct the XML ?
