About eBay

eBay is a marketplace that allows users to offer, sell and buy just about anything in a variety of pricing formats and locations. The actual contract for sale is directly between the seller and buyer. eBay is not a traditional auctioneer.

While we may provide pricing, shipping, listing, sourcing, and other guidance in our Services, such guidance is solely informational and you may decide to follow it or not. Also, while we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, eBay has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users' content or listings; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item. If you access eBay through partner services instead of directly through eBay, certain Services may not be suitable for use by Quebec residents.

Using eBay

In connection with using or accessing the Services you will not:

• post, list or upload content or items in inappropriate categories or areas on our sites;

• breach or circumvent any laws, third party rights or our systems, policies, or determinations of your account status;

• use our Services if you are not able to form legally binding contracts (for example, if you are under 18 years old), or are temporarily or indefinitely suspended from using our sites, services, applications, or tools;

• fail to pay for items purchased by you, unless you have a valid reason as set out in an eBay policy, for example, the seller has materially changed the item's description after you bid, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot contact the seller (see our Unpaid Item Policy);

• fail to deliver items sold by you, unless you have a valid reason as set out in an eBay policy, for example, the buyer fails to comply with the posted terms in your listing or you cannot contact the buyer;

• manipulate the price of any item or interfere with any other users' listings;

• post false, inaccurate, misleading, deceptive, defamatory, or libelous content;

• take any action that may undermine the feedback or ratings systems (see about our Feedback policies);

• transfer your eBay account (including Feedback) and username to another party without our consent;

• distribute or post spam, unsolicited or bulk electronic communications, chain letters, or pyramid schemes;

• distribute viruses or any other technologies that may harm eBay or the interests or property of users;

• use any robot, spider, scraper, data mining tools, data gathering and extraction tools, or other automated means to access our Services for any purpose, except with the prior express permission of eBay; 

• interfere with the working of our Services, or impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure;

• export or re-export any eBay applications or tools, except in compliance with the export control laws of any relevant jurisdictions and in accordance with posted rules and restrictions;

• infringe the copyright, trademark, patent, publicity, moral, database, and/or other intellectual property rights (collectively, "Intellectual Property Rights") that belong to or are licensed to eBay. Some, but not all, actions that may constitute infringement are reproducing, performing, displaying, distributing, copying, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or preparing derivative works from content that belongs to eBay or someone else;

• infringe any Intellectual Property Rights that belong to third parties affected by your use of the Services or post content that does not belong to you;

• commercialize any eBay application or any information or software associated with such application, except with the prior express permission of eBay;

• harvest or otherwise collect information about users without their consent; or

• circumvent any technical measures we use to provide our Services.

Sellers must meet eBay's minimum performance standards. Failure to meet these standards may result in eBay charging you additional fees, and/or limiting, restricting, suspending, or downgrading your seller account.

If we believe you are abusing eBay and/or our Services in any way, we may, in our sole discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate your user account(s) and access to our Services, delay or remove hosted content, remove any special status associated with your account(s), remove, not display, and/or demote listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from using our Services.

If we believe you are violating the policy on Offers to buy or sell outside of eBay, you may be subject to a range of actions, including limits on your buying and selling privileges, restrictions on listings and account features, suspension of your account, application of fees, and recovery of expenses for policy monitoring and enforcement. If you are a seller and you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, you may be liable to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the item does not sell.

We may cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a period of three years or longer. Additionally, we reserve the right to modify or discontinue our Services, or refuse or terminate all or part of our Services to anyone for any reason at our discretion. If your account is: (1) inactive for a period of three years or longer; or (2) cancelled for any reason pursuant to the terms of this User Agreement, then any credit balance remaining on your account following such period of inactivity, or at the time of such cancellation, will be non-refundable, without notice to you.

Policy Enforcement

When a buyer or seller issue arises, we may consider the user's performance history and the specific circumstances in applying our policies. We may choose to be more lenient with policy enforcement in an effort to do the right thing for both buyers and sellers.

Fees

The fees we charge for using our Services are listed on our Standard Selling Fees page. Except if you reside in Ontario or Quebec, we may change our seller fees from time to time by posting or sending you a notice of the changes on the eBay site 30 days in advance, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or any changes that result in the reduction of fees. Such fee change is subject to the General provision of this User Agreement.

If you are a seller, you are liable for transaction fees arising out of all sales made using some or all eBay Services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of eBay. In particular, if you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of eBay, you may be liable to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the item doesn’t sell, given your usage of eBay Services for the introduction to a buyer.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in Canadian Dollars. You must have a payment method on file when selling through eBay Services and pay all fees and applicable taxes associated with our Services by the payment due date.  If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect amounts owed by charging other payment methods on file with us, retaining collection agencies and legal counsel, and for accounts over 60 days past due, request that PayPal deduct the amount owed from your PayPal account balance. In addition, you will be subject to late fees.  eBay, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. If you wish to dispute the information eBay reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax or TransUnion) please contact us at eBay Inc., C/O Global Collections, 7700 West Parmer Lane, Building D, Austin, TX 78729. If you wish to dispute the information a collection agency reported to a credit bureau regarding your eBay account, you must contact the collection agency directly.

Seller fees don't purchase exclusive rights to item exposure on eBay, whether on a web page, mobile app, or otherwise. We may, in our sole discretion and without consent from, or payment, fee reduction, or other credit to, sellers, display third-party advertisements (including links and references thereto) or other content in any part of our Services.

Listing Conditions

When listing an item, you agree to comply with eBay's rules for listing and Selling Practices policy and that:

• You are responsible for the accuracy and content of the listing and item offered.

• Your listing may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours in some circumstances).  eBay can't guarantee exact listing durations.

• When you use the consumer seller listing tool to create listings, your fixed-price listings may renew automatically every 30 days, based on the listing terms at that time, until the quantities sell out or until you cancel the listing.

• Content that violates any of eBay's policies may be modified, obfuscated or deleted at eBay's discretion.

• We may revise product data associated with listings to supplement, remove, or correct information.

• We strive to create a marketplace where buyers find what they are looking for. Therefore, the appearance or placement of listings in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

  • buyer's location, search query, browsing site, and history;

  • item's location, listing format, price and shipping cost, terms of service, end time, history, and relevance to the user query;

  • seller's history, including listing practices, Detailed Seller Ratings, eBay policy compliance, Feedback, and defect rate; and

  • number of listings matching the buyer's query.  

• To drive a positive user experience, a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the buyer.

• Some advanced listing upgrades will only be visible on certain Services.

• eBay's Duplicate Listing Policy may also affect whether your listing appears in search results.

• Metatags and URL links that are included in a listing may be removed or altered so as to not affect third-party search engine results.

• We may provide you with optional recommendations to consider when creating your listings. Such recommendations may be based on the aggregated sales and performance history of similar sold and current listings; results will vary for individual listings. You agree that we may display the sales and performance history of your individual listings to other sellers.

Purchase Conditions

When buying an item, you agree to the rules for buyers and that:

• You are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a bid or commitment to buy.

• You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item, your offer for an item is accepted, or if you have the winning bid (or your bid is otherwise accepted).

• For motor vehicles and real estate, a bid or offer initiates a non-binding transaction representing a buyer's serious expression of interest in buying the seller's item and does not create a formal contract between the buyer and the seller.

• We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer.

International Buying and Selling; Translation

Many of our Services are accessible to international sellers and buyers. We may offer certain programs, tools, and site experiences of particular interest to international sellers and buyers, such as estimated local currency conversion and international shipping calculation tools. Sellers and buyers are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to the international sale, purchase, and shipment of items. If you purchase an item on an eBay site other than eBay.ca, you are subject to the User Agreement of that other eBay site with respect to that particular purchase.

You may list your items directly on one or more of eBay’s international sites. Additionally, you may direct us to display your listing on eBay sites other than the original eBay listing site, including where you choose to list items with an international shipping option (such as worldwide shipping or the Global Shipping Program); the appearance of your listings on these sites is not guaranteed. When you sell your items internationally, you agree to be subject to that other site's policies and our International Selling Agreement. You may adjust your account settings within My eBay to indicate your preferences on international shipping by excluding international shipping and applying an exclusion list to the applicable countries.

You authorize us to use automated tools to translate your eBay content and member-to-member communications, in whole or in part, into local languages where such translation solutions are available. We may provide you with tools which will enable you to translate content at your request. The accuracy and availability of any translation are not guaranteed.

You agree not to remove any copyright, proprietary, or identification markings in the product data and not to create any derivitave works based on that data (other than by including the data in your listings).

Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations and Copyright Infringement

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under Canadian laws. eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program works to ensure that listed items do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please notify our VeRO team through our VeRO program and we will investigate. Learn how to submit a notice to eBay.

Holds

To protect eBay from the risk of liability for your actions as a seller, eBay has at times recommended, and may continue to recommend, that PayPal restrict access to funds in a seller’s PayPal account based on certain factors, including, but not limited to, selling history, seller performance, returns, riskiness of the listing category, transaction value, or the filing of an eBay Money Back Guarantee case.  This may result in PayPal restricting funds in your PayPal account.

You may not disclose, sell, rent, or distribute a user's information to a third party for purposes unrelated to the Services. Additionally, you may not use information for marketing purposes, via electronic or other means, unless you obtain the consent of the specific user to do so.

Additional Terms

• Returns and Cancellations

  Sellers can create rules to automate replacements, returns, and refunds under certain circumstances. For all new sellers, in listings where returns are accepted, eBay will set a default rule that automates the return process. Sellers may remove or customize their return preferences in their account settings within My eBay.  You agree to comply with our returns policy.

  When an item is returned, to refund the buyer, you (as seller) authorize eBay to request that PayPal remove the refund amount (in same or other currency) from your PayPal account, place the amount on your invoice, and/or charge your payment method on file.

  The cost of return shipping for an item that is not as described is the seller's responsibility.

  You (as seller) authorize eBay to place the return shipping label cost on your invoice, subject to your automatic payment method on file when:

  • You fail to send your buyer a return shipping label; and/or

  • A transaction is cancelled, and to refund the buyer, you (as seller) authorize eBay to request that PayPal remove the refund amount (in same or other currency) from your PayPal account. See Cancelling a transaction for more details.

If you (as seller), choose to reimburse a buyer, or are required to reimburse a buyer or eBay under the eBay Money Back Guarantee, you authorize eBay to request that PayPal remove the reimbursement amount (in same or other currency) from your PayPal account, place the amount on your invoice, and/or charge your payment method on file.   If we cannot get reimbursement from you, we may collect the outstanding sums using other collection mechanisms, including retaining collection agencies.
