My sandbox token is not working

While I am testing UploadSiteHostedPictures api in sandbox, it requries my sanbox token.

I go to Home -> User Tokens (eBay Sign-In) -> select sandbox -> Get OAuth Application Token, and generate a fresh new token. 

While I am using the token together with sanbox appId, certId,devId in the api call to eBay, it returns "

Validation of the authentication token in API request failed". 
It seems that the eBay sandbox token system is broken. Anyone can help? Many thanks

My sandbox token is not working

Hi @cclu6429 

 

OAuth Application Token is not a valid token for Trading API calls. Trading API calls like UploadSiteHostedPictures requires the user access token for authorizing the calls. You can either use Auth`n`Auth user access token or  OAuth User access token for executing the Trading API calls. 

 

Making a Trading API Call: https://developer.ebay.com/devzone/xml/docs/Concepts/MakingACall.html

Getting User access tokens via the Developer Portal: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/static/oauth-ui-tokens.html#user
