CROSS BORDER TRADE AGREEMENT
Cross Border Trade Agreement

You are attempting to list an item(s) on eBay’s United States site, eBay.com (the “U.S. eBay site”), the terms of which are with eBay Inc. (“eBay”). You must review and accept this Cross Border Trade Agreement (the “Agreement”) before you will be allowed to list on the U.S. eBay site.

PARTIES. If you have a PayPal account, this Agreement is between:
· You;
· eBay; and,
· PayPal ­ if you have a PayPal account registered in the European Union, PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie, S.C.A., and if you have a PayPal account registered outside the European Union, the PayPal entity with which you have entered into a User Agreement to receive the PayPal Services (such PayPal entity “PayPal”).

If you do not have a PayPal account, then this Agreement is between you and eBay only.

APPLICATION TO ALL CURRENT & FUTURE LISTINGS. This Agreement will apply to all of your active or “live” listings that you have posted to the U.S. eBay site, including 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.

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.

EBAY BUYER PROTECTION POLICY. You acknowledge and agree that the U.S. eBay site has an eBay Buyer Protection Policy (the “eBay Buyer Protection Policy”). Among other terms and conditions, if a dispute arises and cannot be resolved between you as a seller and your buyer on the U.S. eBay site, you agree that eBay will resolve the buyer’s complaint pursuant to the eBay Buyer Protection Policy. This includes being liable to eBay for any and all amounts refunded to your buyer under the eBay Buyer Protection Policy. The full terms of the eBay Buyer Protection Policy may differ from the eBay buyer protection policy (if any) that governs your own eBay site of registration.

LISTING FEE REFUNDS. If an eBay Buyer Protection Policy dispute is resolved in favor of your buyer and your buyer receives a payment under the eBay Buyer Protection Policy, you will not receive a refund of your listing fees from eBay.

BILLING AGREEMENT. If you have a PayPal account and use it to list and sell on the U.S. eBay site, you agree to the following:

a) AUTHORISATION TO CHARGE YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNTYou hereby authorise eBay, or any eBay affiliate appointed by eBay, to charge your PayPal account for the full amount of any money you owe eBay under the eBay Buyer Protection Policy (the “Authorised Amounts”) on a one-time, sporadic, or recurring basis.

b) YOUR INSTRUCTION TO PAYPAL
You authorise and instruct PayPal, or any PayPal affiliate, to debit your PayPal account for all and any Authorised Amounts and to pay eBay, or any eBay affiliate appointed by eBay, such Authorised Amounts. By providing such authorisation and instruction, you acknowledge and agree that in all circumstances you reasonably expect that payments made pursuant to this section are variable and may be made on various dates.

You further agree that PayPal is not obliged to verify or confirm the amount that eBay presents to PayPal for the purpose of processing the payment of any Authorised Amount.

c) CANCELLATION
(i) If at any time you no longer want PayPal to debit your PayPal account for future Authorised Amounts, then all you have to do is not list additional items on the U.S. eBay site and end all and any of your active or “live” listings on the U.S. eBay site in accordance with eBay.com’s policy for ending listings. Alternatively, for listings not yet active or “live” on the U.S. eBay site, you may withdraw this authorisation by emailing PayPalReimbursementOpt-Out@ebay.com, using your registered eBay email address, providing your eBay ID, and stating your intention to Opt-out of PayPal reimbursement. Your withdrawal will be effective within one business day, after which time eBay will not use your PayPal account to recover amounts that you owe due to a U.S. eBay site claim.

However, as a consequence of withdrawing this authorisation, you will no longer be allowed to list on the U.S. eBay site.

(ii) If you use a PayPal account that is registered in the European Union, this section is without prejudice to your right to cancel a recurring payment pursuant to the “Cancelling Recurring Payments” section of the PayPal User Agreement. You will remain obligated to pay eBay for all unpaid amounts, and eBay reserves the right to seek reimbursement through other means.

AUTOMATIC PAYMENT METHOD. eBay may require you to have an automatic payment method on file with your eBay site of registration. Where there are insufficient funds in your PayPal account balance and where you have designated PayPal or another payment method as your automatic payment method on your eBay site of registration, you authorise eBay, or any eBay affiliate appointed by eBay, to charge your automatic payment method (and, if PayPal is your automatic payment method, any payment methods or funding sources linked to your PayPal account) for all and any amounts eBay paid to your buyer for claims resolved against you under an eBay Buyer Protection policy, subject to the terms of the billing agreement governing the use of your automatic payment method. If eBay, or any eBay affiliate appointed by eBay, is unable to charge your automatic payment method, you agree to reimburse eBay in full and in a timely manner for all and any amounts eBay paid to your buyer for claims resolved against you under an eBay Buyer Protection policy, subject to account sanctions, up to and including account suspension and termination, for failure to reimburse eBay.

AMENDMENT. With the exception of subsections (a), (b), and (c)(ii) in the above “Billing Agreement” section, eBay and/or PayPal may amend these terms at any time by posting the amended terms in accordance with the relevant eBay and/or PayPal User Agreements. All amended terms will automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted. Additionally, eBay will notify you via the Messages section of My eBay.

MISCELLANEOUS. The laws applicable to this Agreement shall be the laws of the State of California. To the extent that there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the User Agreement for the eBay site with which you are registered, including, where applicable, the eBay Buyer Protection policy for the eBay site with which you are registered, these terms shall prevail. If you accept this Agreement, a copy of the Agreement will be sent to the email account on file with your eBay site of registration as well as the Messages section of My eBay, where you may print a copy of this Agreement for your records.

Include unique product identifiers to get your listings found by search engines

Get found on eBay, Google, Yahoo! and via other Internet search engines. By including unique identifiers like UPCs, EANs, and ISBNs in your listings, your items can be more easily found by buyers using eBay search, off-eBay search, and mobile apps. Be sure to include these identifiers in the designated field whenever you list.

Keep your buyers on eBay—for your protection and theirs

As of October 1, new listings and re-listings will be blocked if the item description includes an email address or link that doesn’t help buyers transact safely and efficiently on eBay.

Additional protection for your US performance rating is in effect!

Now, if a buyer doesn’t contact you before opening an eBay Buyer Protection case, and you act quickly to resolve it, the case won’t be included in your performance rating. As always, any case that is escalated and found in your favour will not affect your performance rating.

All GPS device products must be listed against the eBay catalogue

As of September 15, you are unable to submit a new listing or re-listing that is not associated with a matching product in the catalogue. If the catalogue doesn’t contain your product, you can add it to the eBay catalogue via Sell Your Item, addproduct.ebay.ca, Turbo Lister, File Exchange, and Blackthorne.

Listing with the catalogue is now required in several Electronics categories

Listing with the catalogue is now required in the following categories, whenever there’s a product match:

Apple Laptops & Notebooks
iPads & Tablets and eBook Readers
Apple Desktops
Televisions
Routers
Printers
Monitors
Hard Drives

eBay has always been a huge supporter of Google through the use of ad on the Google site. I wonder if the ads will now be appearing on Facebook too. I am sure once Google plus reaches critical mass, eBay will be working their claws in there too.

The biggest site is Groupon.com, Groupon has been valued at as much as 25 Billion dollars. They will be looking to cash in on this when they do the IPO sometime in the future. Don’t limit yourself just to Groupon their are a number of other sites that are listed after the jump.

Groupon.com – The grandaddy of the coupon sites. Groupon gives daily deals that expire every day so if you don’t grab the deal that day you may be out of luck. Groupon also offers deals on trips and resorts. Once you join Groupon you may receive a $10 coupon to put toward your first purchase, I don’t know how often they send them but I received it a few weeks after I signed up.

Kijiji Daily Deals – Don’t think that eBay is staying out of the daily deal market. They have introduced their daily deal site as part of Kijiji. Kijiji already has a lot of traffic so this may give them a jump start on the market. Kijiji daily deals is powered by Teamsave.

Teambuy.ca - Teambuy was featured on an episode of Dragons Den, the Canadian equivalent of Shark Tank. They offer some great daily deals

Wagjag.com – Wagjag deals are offered for longer than a day, they also offer multiple deals per day.

Livingsocial.com – Livingsocial offers more than one deal a day and also has a families deal. The biggest downfall is that they are not in all cites across the country yet.

Their are lots of other deal sites on the internet, Facebook and Google are also rumored to be getting into the market too, I would guess they will get into the market by buying another site. Google already tried to buy groupon but the offer was rejected by Groupon.

Fall Seller Update delivers more buyers and new seller protection–with little need for change on your part

Dear valuepricedsoftware:

As we head into the holiday season, eBay is making unprecedented investments to bring you more buyers and ensure their expectations are met head-on. The second and final Seller update for 2011 provides new ways for you to maximize your sales and profitability–without the need for significant changes to your listings or business practices.

25 EXTRA characters in your title to draw more buyers to your listings!
In early September you’ll have nearly 50% more space in your listing titles–25 additional characters–to include more keywords and descriptors to get your listings in front of more interested buyers.

New protection for your US performance rating on eBay.com
We know you want to do the right thing for your customers and eBay always encourages buyers to contact the seller before filing a Buyer Protection case. Starting in August, any cases filed for purchases made on eBay.com where the buyer did not attempt to contact you first will be excluded from the count of opened cases used for evaluating seller performance on eBay.com.

Keeping buyers on eBay
Buyers should be able to find everything they need to complete a purchase right in the listing–and if necessary, contact the seller right from eBay. Starting October 1, sellers will not be able to submit a new listing or re-listing if the description includes an email address or link that doesn’t help buyers transact safely and efficiently on eBay. If some of your listings have email addresses or non-compliant links, be sure to start updating these listings and listing templates now.

Meaningful return policy
Today’s online buyers expect to have a reasonable timeframe for returns, and the option of getting money back. Starting in August you can specify “Money back or exchange” as a refund option. Early next year the 3- and 7-day return options will no longer be available and a cash refund option will be required for all returns. As always, sellers may specify an “all sales final” policy. Give yourself a competitive edge for the holidays–start offering longer timeframes and cash-back options now.

More buyers for your GPS devices
Last year, a new way for buyers to find the popular products they’re looking for powered by the eBay catalogue was introduced in the GPS devices category. Since then, listing with the catalogue has been required in this category whenever there’s a product match. Starting September 15, to make the shopping experience even more rewarding, to complete a listing or relisting for a GPS device that doesn’t have a match in the eBay catalogue, sellers will be required to add the product to the catalogue. Later this month a new tool for adding products in this category makes it fast and easy.

More buyers for your tickets
A new, more robust catalogue is coming to eBay Tickets in August to make it a top destination for ticket buyers and build exposure for your listings. The new tickets catalogue will help you specify more key details about your tickets and the event and make listing faster and easier. There will be category and item specifics updates in Tickets, too. Starting in September, buyers will see all tickets for an event on a single page with handy access to a venue seat map.

Category and Item Specific updates
As always, changes to categories and item specifics are included with the rest of the seller updates. Look for updates in Tickets, Electronics, Coins, Computers & Electronics, and Collectibles in August. Find out if your listings are affected.

Get details on the 2011 Fall Seller Update. For more insight, I invite you to do the following:

Talk with members of my staff during the next two days on a special discussion board we’ve set up for this purpose on eBay.com.

As always, thank you for selling on eBay and best wishes for a successful holiday season!

Sincerely,

Dinesh Lathi
