Describe the bug

Hi @dantio thanks for creating such a useful library!

I am building an application that would allow me (single user) to place auction bids. However, I can see that placeProxyBid from the Buy API requires production access, which involves a lengthy application process and would be OTT for my use case.

I tried using the above method and it would error out with "Insufficient permissions to fulfill the request.", while other methods, like getting item info work fine.

Do you know if there is an alternative to this API?

Code

await eBay.buy.offer.placeProxyBid("v1|1231203192387|0", {
        maxAmount: {
          currency: "GBP",
          value: "24",
        },
      }),

Output

expected data

Would you like to work on this issue?

What kind of authentication are you using?

This method uses a user access token

It is necessary to use the authorization code grant flow with the proper scope.
