Cannot generate a token with access to the buy.item-summary.readonly scope

I received an email from eBay after requesting access to the buy.item-summary.readonly scope. This is what I received:

 

To access the buy.item-summary.readonly scope, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Log into your eBay Developer account.
  2. Navigate to the Application Keys page.
  3. Find the application you're working with and click on the 'User Tokens' button.
  4. Follow the instructions to generate a user token with the required scopes, including buy.item-summary.readonly.

The problem is that on the User Tokens page, there are no instructions on how to "generate a user token with the required scopes". I can generate a token, but that token does not give me access to buy.item-summary.readonly. There is nothing about scopes.

To get the buy.item-summary.readonly scope on eBay, don't just generate a token. First, click "Grant application access to my eBay account" (or similar). This will redirect you to a page where you can select the buy.item-summary.readonly scope. Then generate the token. If you don't see the scope selection page, check your application setup or contact eBay Developer Support.
