Updates to the eBay User Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Buyer Protection Policy
Dear jongjita,
We are writing to let you know about updates to the eBay User Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Buyer Protection Policy. The updated eBay User Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Buyer Protection Policy were posted on www.ebay.com on September 11, 2013. The updated eBay User Agreement is effective upon acceptance for users who accept it through registration of an eBay account or other electronic click-through prior to October 26, 2013. For all other users, it is effective October 26, 2013. The updated Privacy Policy is effective immediately for new members and on October 26, 2013, for current users. The updated Buyer Protection Policy is effective for all users on October 26, 2013.
Key updates to the eBay User Agreement:
Simplification. We rewrote the User Agreement to make it more clear and understandable.
Updates to the Buyer Protection provision. We simplified the Buyer Protection provision in the User Agreement to make it more clear and understandable. This coincides with the simplification of the separate Buyer Protection policy.
Provision regarding hassle-free managed returns. We added a provision describing the eBay returns process, which simplifies returns for our buyers and sellers. We may automatically apply the eBay returns process to listings where returns are accepted. Sellers may remove the eBay returns process from their listings by adjusting their account settings within My eBay. Initially this change will only apply when a new seller account is opened.
Provision regarding intellectual property rights. We added a provision in which users promise that the content they give us, or its use, will not infringe on any intellectual property rights.
Updates to listing conditions. To further create a marketplace where buyers find what they want and drive positive user experience, we updated the provision regarding listing conditions to recognize that the appearance and placement of listings in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors. So, in some situations a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of sort order.
