Somewhere in a party's record would need to be: * eBay buyer id (like "SteeleRubber") * eBay buyer EIASToken, which looks like this: "nY+sHZ2PrBmdj6wVnY +sEZ2PrA2dj6wGkYCnDZeHqQ+dj6x9nY+seQ==". From eBay documentation: "The EIAS value for a given user does not change, even if the user's eBay user name changes. An application stores this value the same way it stores the eBay user name. When making calls that return a User object (which contains both the UserID and EIASToken), the application checks the user ID returned against the one it has stored and changes the stored user ID as necessary.
What table would be the best to put this in?
