If you've set up your eBay integration through Zentail, you're familiar with the Auth token process. These Tokens are generally valid for 12-18 months. Zentail will provide a warning "ebay auth token will expire in {n} days" on the bottom of every page with a FIX button. If you see this, please take the following action to re-authenticate your eBay connection.

Once they've expired, you may receive a message that reads: "Auth token is hard expired, User needs to generate a new token for this application.
