eBay Agreement of Fair Buying and Selling

_____________________________________________________________

Non-Negotiable "Buyer Requirements"

All eBay Buyers and Sellers should want every transaction to proceed smoothly, efficiently and be successful for all parties involved!

The "Four Primary Factors" in having such a mutually successful transaction are:

(1) The Seller writing accurate descriptions and providing clear photographs of the merchandise for sale, and specifying conditions and procedures for processing the transaction;

(2) The Potential Buyer carefully:

(a) Reading the entire eBay listing, and

(b) Examining all of the photographs;

(3) The Potential Buyer communicating with the Seller, through eBay Messaging, about:

(a) Any part of the listing that is any way unclear, incomplete or which they find confusing or may need clarification; and

(b) Thereafter waiting and allowing the Seller a reasonable 72 hours to respond to Potential Buyer's question(s).

(4) The Presumed Buyer, after merchandise delivery:

(a) Immediately informing the Seller, through eBay Messaging, about any and all problems or "Lack of Buyer Satisfaction" with the merchandise and transaction; and

(b) Thereafter waiting and allowing the Seller a reasonable 72 hours to respond to each Presumed Buyer communication, and thereby help to resolve the "Lack of Buyer's Satisfaction."

These "Four Primary Factors" (#1, #2, #3 and #4) are so important that the eBay User Agreement makes most of them MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS for both Buyers and Sellers! Therefore:

(A) Abiding by 'eBay User Agreement'. Seller will NOT knowingly engage in any transaction with any Potential Buyer who has not read and agreed in good faith, prior to initiating a transaction, to all terms and conditions incorporated into the eBay User Agreement. (Presumed Buyer agrees, for consideration of Seller initiating processing of transaction, that failure to conduct themselves in full conformance with every part of the eBay User Agreement is prima facie evidence that the Potential Buyer never honestly agreed to all terms and conditions of that Agreement prior to the transaction.)

(B) Communicating Buyer's Questions and "Lack of Satisfaction". Seller will NOT knowingly engage in any transaction with any Potential Buyer who does not promise and agree, prior to initiating a transaction, to conduct themselves in conformance with parts Two through Four (2-4) of the "Four Primary Factors." (Presumed Buyer agrees, for consideration of Seller initiating processing of transaction, that failure to conduct themselves in full conformance with the "Four Primary Factors" is prima facie evidence that Potential Buyer never made the required pre-transaction promise.)

(C) Answering Seller's Questions. Seller will NOT knowingly engage in any transacting with any Potential Buyer who does not promise and agree, prior to initiating a transaction, to assist Seller in resolving all problems and "Lack of Buyer Satisfaction" by answering and providing, within 72 hours of request(s), each and all of Seller's questions and requests for images. (Presumed Buyer agrees, for consideration of Seller initiating processing of transaction, that any failure to timely so answer Seller's questions and provide images is prima facie evidence that the Potential Buyer never made the required pre-transaction promise.)

In addition, numerous Sellers have observed, over multiple decades of sales and hundreds of thousands of buyers, apparent patterns and statistical correlations between Buyer behaviors and Buyer Abuse and Misconduct involving transactions, the eBay feedback and review "forums," and the eBay Buyer Protection Program. Therefore:

(D) Seller Feedback and Merchandise Reviews. eBay maintains two (2) separate website areas for reviews of (i) Sellers' performance ("Feedback Forum") and (ii) merchandise quality and characteristics ("Product Reviews"). Seller will NOT knowingly engage in any transacting with any Potential Buyer who does not promise and agree, prior to initiating a transaction, to NOT leave any Seller performance evaluations or reviews in the "Product Review" forums, and to NOT leave any merchandise evaluations or reviews in the Seller's "Feedback Forum." (Presumed Buyer agrees, for consideration of Seller initiating processing of transaction, that leaving a Seller evaluation or review in the "Product Review" forum, or leaving any merchandise evaluations or reviews in the Seller's "Feedback Forum," is prima facie evidence that the Potential Buyer never made the required pre-transaction promise.)

(E) Reporting Missing Shipments. Seller will NOT knowingly engage in any transacting with any Potential Buyer who does not promise and agree, prior to initiating a transaction, to immediately contact Seller through eBay Messaging, in no case later than 23 days after a purchase, to notify Seller of Buyer's knowledge or any suspicions of missing, overdue or non-delivery of merchandise. (Presumed Buyer agrees, for consideration of Seller initiating processing of transaction, that failure to provide said notice, within the maximum allowed period, is prima facie evidence that the Potential Buyer never made the required pre-transaction promise.)

(F) Reporting Shipment-Damaged and Undamaged Merchandise. Seller will NOT knowingly engage in any transacting with any Potential Buyer who does not promise and agree, prior to initiating a transaction, to contact Seller through eBay Messaging, within 48 hours of merchandise delivery, to (i) provide an inventory and descriptions of all missing or externally-damaged components of merchandise and packaging, and (ii) confirm safe delivery of all other merchandise and packaging materials. (Presumed Buyer agrees, for consideration of Seller initiating processing of transaction, that any failure to timely provide all such information is prima facie evidence that the Potential Buyer never made the required pre-transaction promise.)
