Fields
Credentials ( UserIdPasswordType ) [0..1]
Not used by any call.
Authentication information for the user on whose behalf the application is making the request, and authorization information for the application making the request. Only registered eBay users are allowed to make API calls. To verify that a user is registered, your application normally needs to pass a user-specific value called an "authentication token" in the request. This is equivalent to signing in on the eBay Web site. As API calls do not pass session information, you need to pass the user's authentication token every time you invoke a call on their behalf. All calls require an authentication token, except the calls you use to retrieve a token in the first place. For such calls, you use the eBay member's username and password instead.

Authentication token representing the user who is making the request. The user's token must be retrieved from eBay. To determine a user's authentication token, see the Authentication and Authorization information in the eBay Web Services guide. For calls that list or retrieve item or transaction data, the user usually needs to be the seller of the item in question or, in some cases, the buyer. Similarly, calls that retrieve user or account data may be restricted to the user whose data is being requested. The documentation for each call includes information about such restrictions.

Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token.
