I have noticed that on many of my ads the ad parameters are not updating and the default parameter is being used, but I can see no reason for it.
I get no errors when setting the new parameters (soap details below). One thing I am suspecting is that there is a problem with the currency symbol (in my case £). Say I set the price to £1000. That is 5 characters long. When I look at the xml response I see that this is translated to £1000 (£ ;1000 in case it hasn't displayed properly) which is 11 characters long. Is this 11 characters getting counted towards the overall length of the ad headline, and because it is too long drops back to the default setting? Or any other ideas?
