Sellers' profitability depends heavily on eBay's fee structure, which can change unilaterally, and failure to pay fees can result in account restrictions or legal action by eBay.
This agreement affects consumers by requiring US-based users to resolve disputes with eBay through binding individual arbitration, waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits. Sellers are subject to broad content licensing terms and bear sole legal responsibility for their listings, while buyers are bound by eBay's Money Back Guarantee terms as the primary remedy framework. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending a written notice to eBay's legal department within 30 days of first accepting these terms, as described in the dispute resolution section.
