An online marketplace platform that enables individuals and businesses to buy and sell goods through auction-style and fixed-price listings. The platform facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers worldwide, providing payment processing, dispute resolution, and seller protection services. Its policies are significant for consumers as they govern transaction terms, fee structures, seller conduct standards, data collection practices, and the resolution process for disputes between marketplace participants.
Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from eBay’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.
The license is perpetual and irrevocable, meaning eBay's rights in submitted content survive the removal of content or termination of the user's account.
The restriction to individual claims and individual relief bars users from joining or forming class actions or representative proceedings against eBay, limiting the practical scale of any challenge.
The mandatory arbitration requirement eliminates court as a forum for any dispute with eBay or related third parties, and the arbitration result is final and binding.
The indemnification obligation covers a broad set of eBay-related parties and expressly includes reasonable legal fees, meaning users may bear eBay's defense costs in third-party disputes.
The exclusion applies to any claim at law or in equity and extends to third parties, broadly limiting the categories of loss for which eBay can be held financially responsible.
