New ebay policy update to privacy
 

eBay Privacy Policy
eBay has always believed in the importance of clear, concise, and transparent privacy policies and practices. We are updating the eBay.com Privacy Policy to provide even greater clarity regarding management of our customers' personal information on eBay.com, as well as the tools and applications we provide.
•We are introducing and implementing Binding Corporate Rules, which are a strict set of rules and procedures that ensure a consistent and high standard of protection for individuals' personal information.
•The scope of the policy has been expanded so that it is clear that the commitments made also apply to the tools, applications, and services eBay provides beyond its websites.
•We have provided more detail to give customers a better understanding of how we use data to ensure the integrity of our site, and in the event we need to contact you regarding a transaction.
•We may use third-party identity services such as Facebook Connect to enable you to sign-on to eBay, and provide tools that will enable you to use data you have collected on other sites to improve your shopping experience on eBay.
You can find the new Privacy Policy here. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us. While we do everything possible to ensure open and transparent privacy practices, if you choose not to accept the new terms, visit this page for further direction.

Thank you for being a part of the eBay community.

Sincerely,

When I see any updates from them on any of the policys they have I ask myself is it going to effect my business and my stealth tatics.

You better believe it - they never introduce anything that will do you any good - They are saying that anything you have on the net is fair game - be warned!!!:eek:

Strengthening the ban hammer. Blah :mad2:

Kicks-in in a months time, we will just have to see if this makes any difference, hopefully not by the looks of things.

Scott Shipman - what a name.
