I'm writing to let you know that the eBay User Agreement and eBay Privacy Policy have been updated, effective immediately for users registering as of Nov. 22, 2005, and effective February 1, 2006 for current users.
The rules and dispute resolution policies you originally agreed to have not changed in any substantive way. The User Agreement has been rewritten, however, to cover new features such as Reviews & Guides, changes in the collection of overdue seller fees, and to better meet the needs of our growing user community.
The new Privacy Policy, like the old one, outlines the broad categories of information we collect from you based on your activities on the site and public data sources. It also now specifically calls out the fact that eBay does not sell your personal information for marketing purposes and directs you to a page where you can select how you wish to be contacted by eBay. If you would like to receive advance notice of pricing promotions, events, and other updates, be sure to select "Newsletters, promotions, and event notifications" in your Notification Preferences.
If you accept the new User Agreement and Privacy Policy, you don't need to take any action. If you do not wish to accept the new User Agreement or Privacy Policy, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions about the User Agreement Revision for instructions on what to do.
Thank you for using eBay and we look forward to many more successful transactions!
Sincerely,
Scott R. Shipman, CIPP
Senior Counsel, Global Privacy Practices
eBay Inc.
I went to my messages, and it's not in there, so I have sent it to spoof@ebay. It has my name and user ID heading it, but I'm just not sure.

Sounds legit, esp since it does not say to click anywhere...I am sure this one will be spoofed in the near future, telling us we need to click on some link to keep our ebay accounts.

I just heard from eBay that it is legit. I don't understand why it doesn't show in my messages. There is still no way I am going to click on one of the links.
