New Agreement

In 2016, we began the process of realigning our legal structure to better reflect how we manage and operate our platforms.

Starting May 1st 2018, eBay users residing in the European Union (excluding those residing in the United Kingdom) will begin contracting with eBay GmbH, Albert-Einstein-Ring 2-6, 14532 Kleinmachnow, Germany, for their User Agreement, Billing Agreements, and any other agreements that they might have previously had with eBay Europe S.à r.l. or eBay Marketplaces GmbH.
Starting June 1st 2018, eBay users residing in any country except the USA, Canada and the European Union will begin contracting with eBay Marketplaces GmbH, Helvetiastrasse 15/17, 3005 Bern, Switzerland, for their User Agreement, Billing Agreements, and any other agreements that they might have previously had with eBay International AG.
While we may make other changes to services and programs over time, you should see no interruption to your service because of these updates, and you will not need to make any changes to your listings. You also do not need to take any action to continue using any payment method you may have on file with eBay, as details of the change will have been supplied to your financial institution, who may also separately notify you.

All affected users will see the above-mentioned eBay company name and address on their invoices, and we will begin collecting your charges in an account held by this eBay entity. You may also see the new eBay entity on your bank statement as well as a comment advising you of the final payment in favour of the old eBay entity and the first payment in favour of the new eBay entity.

With the transfer of your contractual relationship to the new eBay entity, that company will also take over the automatic payment method you agreed to for the payment of fees and other amounts owed to eBay for using the eBay services. Therefore, amounts owed to eBay will be collected by the new eBay entity through the automatic payment method you have chosen for your payment.

As a consequence of the change of your eBay contracting entity, the new eBay entity will also be your new data controller for the purposes of our User Privacy Notice. The new eBay entity will continue to maintain your data in accordance with our global privacy standards, known as our Binding Corporate Rules.

We encourage you to review the new User Agreement, the User Privacy Notice, and your other existing agreements with us. You can also view the old User Agreement that will remain in force until the effective date.

Thanks for being a part of the eBay community.

Sincerely,
The eBay team
