Question

I am developing a mobile application that does not have browser capabilities. What are my options for getting a user's token?

Answer

Summary

The only way to get users token is to direct them to the eBay Sign In page, with parameters such as your Runame and SessionID. If you are planning to create applications such as a mobile app where directing the user to a sign in page is not possible you may want to consider other alternatives for getting the token. For example, have a server application that directs customers to the sign in page, generate the token and serve information to the mobile application.
