Dependencies

Troubleshooting
- Ensure the eBay API credentials are correctly configured and valid to avoid authentication errors.
- If batching is enabled, verify batch size and interval settings to prevent request throttling or timeouts.
- If SSL errors occur, consider enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' only if you trust the network environment.
- Check proxy settings for correctness if using a proxy; incorrect proxy configuration can cause request failures.
- Timeout errors indicate the server did not respond in time; increasing the timeout value may help in slow network conditions.
