This won't ever work.

$ ri Object#send
------------------------------------------------------------ Object#send
      obj.send(symbol [, args...])        => obj
      obj.__send__(symbol [, args...])    => obj
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Invokes the method identified by symbol, passing it any arguments
      specified. You can use __send__ if the name send clashes with an
      existing method in obj.

You want:

send(*['getListing', 5053500])
