Changes to the eBay User Agreement

Dear eBay Community Member,

I'm writing to let you know that the we've posted an updated eBay User Agreement to help us implement some policy changes. This agreement is effective immediately for new members registering on or after today, and on September 22, 2009, for current members.

The biggest change to the agreement covers our updated, expanded and renamed eBay Buyer Protection. eBay Buyer Protection offers coverage for more buyers and allows eBay to deduct amounts due to buyers under the program from seller PayPal accounts. If sellers don't have sufficient funds in their PayPal accounts, sellers will be asked to provide an alternate payment method. We've moved the bulk of the program details to the eBay Buyer Protection Policy, referenced in the User Agreement. For more information, you can review the Seller Release details announced July 27, 2009.

As with earlier updates to the User Agreement, we've made other minor changes to reflect eBay's current product and service offerings and industry legal standards. For example, we've made a few changes to the way we describe use of our catalog content.

You don't need to take any further action to accept the new User Agreement. If you don't wish to accept the new User Agreement, please refer to this Help page for instructions on how to close your account. We hope you find that these changes make eBay more useful for you.

Thanks for being a part of the eBay community!

Sincerely,

Scott Shipman
Senior Counsel

I found a new auction site that is far more friendly and less dangerous. Check out JaGetit.com for a more friendly marketplace.

Stuff For Sale on Ja Get It

Blogroll Me!
I have been listing some of my stuff on a new website called Ja Get It. This new website is gonna give eBay a run for their money. It costs nothing to list your item and they only take 4% final value fee. The site is just starting up so there is not much there yet. But many folks have been waiting for someone to make a site that is auction style so that we can tell eBay to take a hike! So check them out and start sending people over to JaGetit.com
ps. If you go over there tell them skymetalsmith333 sent you!

New Auction Site

Blogroll Me!
Finally eBay has a competitor. I signed up for this auction site today and I can already vouch that they have much better customer service. It is just starting up so there is not much for sale yet. It costs nothing to list and only costs 4% for a final value fee. Go to JaGetit and start listing your treasures and buying.
