About the User Agreement and User Privacy Notice

You will need to accept the terms outlined in the User Agreement and User Privacy Notice in order to buy and sell on eBay.

• The User Agreement is a legal document that spells out the relationship between you and eBay. It outlines eBay's services, pricing, rules, and policies, as well as the relationship between buyers and sellers for listing, bidding, and buying items on eBay.

• The User Privacy Notice spells out our core privacy principles, and how your privacy is protected on eBay. It also spells out the limitations to privacy on eBay.

Why we ask for your date of birth

You need to be at least 18 years old to register on eBay, because when you buy and sell on eBay you’re actually making a legally binding contract. If you’re under 18, you can use eBay with a parent or guardian.

If you want two different eBay accounts

Many members find that they need two accounts if they sell two different types of items, or they sell so many items that they need two accounts to keep things organized. You are welcome to register for two different eBay accounts with the following limitations.

• The two accounts must have different User IDs and different email addresses.

• The two accounts can never bid on each other’s listings or be involved in the same listing in any way, nor be involved with each other's Member Profiles.
