On May 15, eBay will be releasing a revised user agreement. This revision will address the obligations of buyers and sellers in transactions where a buyer has alleged receipt of a counterfeit item.
Under the revised agreement:
# Buyers and sellers shall work in good faith during the resolution process to determine that the item is not counterfeit.
# If buyer and seller cannot determine that the item is not counterfeit, buyers are required to send the item back to the seller. Cost of return shipping will be paid by the buyer or eBay, unless both buyer and seller have agreed otherwise.
# Covered claims that meet the conditions and are not excluded will count as a violation by the seller of our prohibited and infringing items policy.
# If eBay determines the buyer is not acting in good faith, eBay may restrict or eliminate their ability to return items or make future claims.
# Sellers shall not list, advertise, or cause that item to appear for sale, barter or trade, on any eBay Inc. web site or service.
These revisions to the user agreement are being made to:
# Provide sellers protections against inaccurate counterfeit claims.
# Provide buyers assurances about the authenticity of the item received.
# Maintain integrity of the eBay marketplace.
The new User Agreement is effective immediately for new members registering on or after today, and on June 14, 2009, for current members. You don't need to do anything to accept the new User Agreement. If you don't wish to accept it, you can follow these instructions to close your account.
Sincerely,
Scott Shipman
Senior Counsel
eBay Inc.
