      Error 195011 "Not authorized for this topic" when creating subscription for OFFER_ACTIVITY
               

      Subject: Error 195011 "Not authorized for this topic" when creating subscription for OFFER_ACTIVITY Hi everyone, I am attempting to create a notification subscription for the topic OFFER_ACTIVITY using the eBay Notification API endpoint: POST https://api.ebay.com/commerce/notification/v1/subscription However, when passing the seller's Authorization Code Grant User Access Token, I receive the following error response: { "errors": [ { "errorId": 195011, "domain": "API_NOTIFICATION", "category": "REQUEST", "message": "Not authorized for this topic." } ] } ### Request Details - Endpoint: POST https://api.ebay.com/commerce/notification/v1/subscription - Request Body: { "destinationId": "xxxxxxxxxxx", "payload": { "deliveryProtocol": "HTTPS", "format": "JSON", "schemaVersion": "1.0" }, "status": "ENABLED", "topicId": "OFFER_ACTIVITY" } ### Currently Authorized Scopes in My App: - https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope - https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment - https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment.readonly - https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.finances - https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.notification.subscription - https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.identity.readonly ### Context: When retrieving the available topics via GET https://api.ebay.com/commerce/notification/v1/topic , OFFER_ACTIVITY requires specific authorization scopes that do not seem to be covered by my current scope set. Could anyone clarify which specific OAuth scope(s) I need to request from the seller during user authorization to successfully subscribe to the OFFER_ACTIVITY topic? Thank you for your help!

      Decision Authority of the Authentication Process

      I would like to better understand the decision-making authority of the authentication process. I had one of my purchases that had authentication guarantee included rejected by the authenticator without first contacting me or asking my opinion. I believe it is still buyer's decision on whether to cancel the purchase when something is identified during the authentication process. Is this the correct assumption? If so, how I can enforce my right to make these decisions in the future? Thank you very much for your response.

      Locked out of contacting ebay

      I can log into eBay,finally figured out how to talk to a agent. Now I’ve been here for hours.Trying contacting and gives this.As you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen: You're a power user moving through this website with super-human speed. You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser. A third-party browser plugin, such as Ghostery or NoScript, is preventing JavaScript from running.I have Java script on,and safari as my web browser on Apple iPad.Please help.

      How to add auth scope `https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/buy.offer.auction` to an existing app?
                               

      Hi Developer Community,   I have an existing application with its own keyset, and I’d like to add the   https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/buy.offer.auction  scope to the OAuth configuration.   Currently, the OAuth scopes for my application were predefined, but I need to update them to request access for the Buy API, specifically to use the   placeProxyBid   endpoint:  https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/buy/offer/resources/bidding/methods/placeProxyBid   Any guidance on the necessary steps and who I could speak to would be greatly appreciated. I haven't found a relevant article in developer forums. Thank you in advance!
