Ebay Commerce / Catalog API "Insufficient permission to fulfill the request."
Hello there. I have been attempting to gather product information from the Catalog API. Every time I do so, whether this be locally or in the API explorer, it says that I dont have permission to perform this action. I saw another forum post that said further actions were required to sign up to be a seller or provide ID verification information. I'm not sure how to do this for my developers account or what I need to do to get access. I already have the ability to sell on my ebay account but I dont see how this can be done for my developer account. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Well, to use the API for most of the Sell API's you require an "access token" with the "user grant" oauth flow. You can see the docs here:
https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/static/oauth-authorization-code-grant.html
To resume, this process has en ebay seller user "granting" permission to an application, to act in his/her behalf. For this you will have a large url filled with scopes, that you will click or copy paste in your browser, and then sign in with your ebay account. That will give you a "code" that will allow you to launch the "user grant" flow, which is part of this oauth api.
