I just want to say I am not comfortable to have a third party having access to our info

[jamikel]

I was not aware our sales and purchases were available to third parties. Is this new or just something I was not aware of?  It appears to be new because it looks like it is retroactive to October of last year. What happens if you disagree with something that was written into the contract? If someone doesn't agree and sign on, does that mean their info is still up for access to third parties? I like some of the new terms, but I am not happy to see this and think it should be an option.

If you're talking about Managed Payments, you do have an option.

You can sign up or not, it's up to you.

If you want to sell here and get paid, you'll have to sign up.

@jamikel,

This doesn't have anything to do with managed payments. eBay is not going to make any of your information, available to others. The new point in the User Agreement says that eBay may publish and promote your listings, which means that your items for sale may be advertised by eBay on their other websites. It is just promoting your listings and making them available to more buyers. They are already publicly available.

The new user agreement is effective today, Feb 9, 2022. It's not retroactive. The previous agreement was effective Oct 8, 2021.

Thank you for clearing this up for me.

Tagging on to @lacemaker3 post......

The User Agreement has had this clause since (almost) forever. This new version is worded slightly different but is essentially unchanged from the previous ones.

@slippinjimmy, can you provide documentation for that please?

IIRC, I checked to see if this clause was in previous UA's and didn't find it. I could be wrong, of course.

(This doesn't have anything to do with managed payments. eBay is not going to make any of your information, available to others.)

The Winter Seller Update is not referring to or changing Managed Payment Policies.

If you are in Managed Payments you already gave eBay permission to outsource and share your information and dater with 3rd Parties.

"Professional secrecy rights"......

Something for those LawSuites filers to ponder!

you hereby waive any professional secrecy rights.

(Regardless of whether we use third-party service providers)

That part seems to be important to eBay.

The section is about 3rd parties but everyone gives up that right

to eBay regardless of the use of 3rd parties.

There is nothing to ponder.

For those who can't understand why eBay would need you to waive

any Professional Secrecy Rights you have just to process a payment

there is a full explanation for that here.
