Automated AI systems can affect what listings you see, whether your account is flagged for review, and how pricing or recommendations are made — potentially without any human review of decisions that affect you.
eBay's updated privacy notice now provides more structured and detailed information about what personal data it collects, why it processes that data, and how it handles cross-border transfers. The addition of explicit data protection officer contact information and a clear table of contents makes the privacy framework more accessible and transparent. You can review the new notice to understand what data categories eBay collects and contact the designated data protection officer with privacy concerns.
