eBay retains unilateral authority in its sole discretion to cut off a user's access to accounts and Services, and doing so does not foreclose eBay from pursuing additional remedies.
Interpretive note: The excerpt references additional enforcement actions beyond account limitation, suspension, or termination—specifically delaying or removing hosted content and removing special status—which are independent legal propositions recorded in omitted_material rather than the canonical claim.
The updated terms establish mandatory arbitration for all disputes unless users opt out in accordance with section 19.B.9. Under the revised agreement, users waive the right to pursue claims in court or before a jury, and may only pursue claims on an individual basis, not as part of a class action. The agreement also expands eBay's authority to limit, suspend, or terminate accounts in its sole discretion if it believes users are violating the terms or abusing the platform. You can opt out of arbitration by following the procedure described in section 19.B.9.
