Can I trust eBay?
Yes! eBay’s Trust and Safety team is responsible for keeping the marketplace a safe, well-lit place for people around the world to trade with one other. Actively working to enable members to trade safely, eBay fosters trust between members through the development and enforcement of rules and policies, the creation of reputation-building programs, and the prevention of fraud. eBay also works behind-the-scenes to prevent fraud and, in the event a problem occurs, eBay proactively works with law enforcement and government agencies throughout the world to enforce its policies. Rooted in the values of the marketplace, eBay’s policies are aimed at offering a level playing field, encouraging open, honest, and accountable transactions, and creating economic opportunities for everyone.
What’s the deal with eBay?
The following key points will help you understand a little bit more about how eBay operates:
- When you buy an item on eBay, you are buying from another eBay member, who is the seller. You are not buying from eBay.
- eBay is an agent for bringing together buyers and sellers. eBay does not buy or sell anything directly.
- To ensure that eBay provides a safe and fair trading environment for all eBay members, eBay has a User Agreement, which you agree to when you register, and rules and policies for everyone. When necessary, eBay will step in to enforce the agreement, rules, and policies and to prevent fraud.
- To help keep you safe when buying and selling, eBay includes tools such as feedback, a valuable indicator of your reputation for buying and selling on eBay, and Buyer Protection Programs, which are educational resources for shopping safely online.
- If something does go wrong, eBay includes a Security & Resolution Center for helping you resolve a dispute and eBay Customer Support for additional assistance.
- Make sure to keep your email address current. Having a current, working email is especially important on eBay because email is used to notify you when you’ve won an item and to find out shipping and payment options from other buyers and sellers.
- Be careful of deceptive or spoof emails that claim to be sent by well-known companies—including eBay—and that ask you to reply with personal information, such as your credit card number, social security number, or account password. Learn how to spot a spoof email and what to do about it.
- eBay’s Community is made up of its large membership of buyers and sellers, as well as eBay staff. Being involved on the eBay site makes you a part of the eBay Community, too – welcome! There are many Community resources available to you, including member-to-member forums, eBay news resources, and the Community calendar of events.
