Hi


You recently agreed to the following Terms and Conditions to list on the US eBay site.



1. THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY TO ALL CURRENT & FUTURE LISTINGS ON THE U.S. EBAY SITE. This Agreement will apply to any and all of your listings that you have posted to the U.S. eBay site and that are active or "live" on the U.S. eBay site, such as Good 'Til Cancelled listings, as well as any future listings that you post on the U.S. eBay site. If at any time after accepting this Agreement you no longer want these terms and conditions to apply to future listings on the U.S. eBay site, then all you have to do is not list additional items on the U.S. eBay site. Also, if at any time after accepting this Agreement you no longer want these terms and conditions to apply to your already active or "live" listings on the U.S. eBay site, then you must end your listings in accordance with eBay.com's policy for ending listings.

2. PAYMENT HOLD NOTICE: PAYPAL FUNDS FROM YOUR U.S. EBAY SITE SALES MAY BE UNAVAILABLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. If and when you are paid through PayPal for items you list and sell on the U.S. eBay site, you understand, acknowledge and agree (and accept this paragraph as PayPal's notice) that for such transactions:

a) If PayPal believes that there is a risk associated with you, your PayPal account, or any or all of your PayPal transactions, then pursuant to the "Payment Hold" section of your PayPal User Agreement, PayPal may hold the funds you receive into your PayPal account from each of your transactions on the U.S. eBay site for up to 21 days from the date on which PayPal lets you know that it is "OK to Ship" the relevant item, or in some instances longer. You may view the text of the "Payment Hold" section that applies to PayPal accounts registered in the European Union here.

b) PayPal will consider a number of factors in evaluating if there is a risk, such as if eBay considers you to be a seller who does not meet certain seller standards, or you are a new PayPal customer and/or eBay seller or have a limited customer/seller history with PayPal and/or eBay. You may review additional information about the circumstances under which payments will not be immediately available for items you sell on the U.S. eBay site here.

c) If you use a PayPal account registered in a country outside of the European Union, you agree that the PayPal entity that operates the PayPal website where you registered your PayPal account, in its sole discretion, may place a hold on any or all of the payments you receive when it believes there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your account, or any or all of your transactions; that its determination may be based on a number of different factors and may rely on information it receives from its third party partners, such as eBay; that, if it places a hold on a payment, the payment will show as "pending" in your account; that, if it places a hold on any or all of the payments you receive, it will provide you with notice of this action; that it will release the hold on any payment after 21 days from the date the payment was received into your account, unless you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal or it takes another action permitted under its user agreement with you; that it may, in its sole discretion, release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, for example, if you have uploaded tracking information; and that it may continue holding the payment in your account if you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal, until the matter is resolved pursuant to its user agreement with you.

3. THE U.S. EBAY SITE EBAY BUYER PROTECTION POLICY WILL APPLY TO YOUR U.S. EBAY SITE LISTINGS. You agree that the U.S. eBay site has a dispute resolution process where you as a seller are required to work with buyers to resolve transaction disputes, and you further acknowledge and agree that the U.S. eBay site has an eBay Buyer Protection Policy. As a condition of listing on the U.S. eBay site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the U.S. eBay site eBay Buyer Protection Policy for all of your listings on the U.S. eBay site.

a) Among other terms and conditions, if a dispute arises and cannot be resolved between you as a seller and a buyer on the U.S. eBay site, you agree that eBay Inc. will resolve the buyer's complaint pursuant to the U.S. eBay site eBay Buyer Protection Policy.

b) This includes being liable to eBay Inc. for any and all amounts refunded to your buyer under the U.S. eBay site eBay Buyer Protection Policy.

c) The full terms of the U.S. eBay site eBay Buyer Protection Policy may differ from the eBay buyer protection policy (if any) that governs your own eBay site of registration, and you acknowledge that you understand any such differences.

4. LISTING FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED WHERE A BUYER PROTECTION DISPUTE IS RESOLVED AGAINST YOU. You understand and agree that if a U.S. eBay site eBay Buyer Protection Policy dispute is found in favor of the buyer and the buyer receives a payment under the U.S. eBay site eBay Buyer Protection Policy, you will not receive a refund of your listing fees.
