eBay User Agreement

This agreement sets the rules for using eBay, and by using the platform you agree to all of them. You become legally bound to buy an item the moment you win a bid, have an offer accepted, or commit to purchase—before you actually pay. Any dispute you have with eBay must go through individual arbitration, not a court, and you cannot join a class action against eBay.

The eBay User Agreement establishes the terms under which users access and use eBay's Services, imposing a total compliance obligation on each instance of access. It creates binding purchase contracts at multiple pre-payment trigger points, subjects all user-submitted content to a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license sublicensable through multiple tiers, and requires users to indemnify eBay and its affiliates against third-party claims including reasonable legal fees. eBay excludes liability for consequential damages and provides its Services on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis at the user's own risk, while reserving sole discretion to limit, suspend, or terminate user accounts without forfeiting other remedies. All disputes with eBay or related third parties must be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration, with class and representative proceedings expressly barred.

Every message you send through eBay's messaging channels is subject to automated scanning and analysis by eBay. You are contractually bound to complete a purchase at the moment you win a bid, commit to buy, or have an offer accepted—not only when you pay. Content you submit to eBay is licensed to eBay on terms that are perpetual and irrevocable, surviving account closure. eBay may limit, suspend, or terminate your account at its sole discretion. You are also required to indemnify eBay and its affiliates, including covering their reasonable legal fees, if a third party brings a claim related to your use of the platform. If you have a dispute with eBay, you must bring it as an individual in binding arbitration.
