Before reviewing the terms of agreement here's a short list of a few other things you should know.
| CANCELLING AN AUCTION Note that in the "Terms of Agreement" below I do charge a fee if you decide to cancel an auction once it is underway. This is to cover my time and expenses incurred (for example listing fees on eBay are not refundable). I WILL NOT CANCEL YOUR AUCTION WITH LESS THAN 24 HOURS REMAINING. If you're getting cold feet and don't like the way the bidding is going you have to make that decision well before the final day. If you decide with 28 Hours left understand that I may not see your email until only 10 hours are left and it's much too late by then. My advice is to contact me within 48 Hours of the Closing Time to be sure there is ample time for me to end your listing. On eBay experienced users know that most of the bidding takes place in the last 24 Hours and until the final seconds you don't know just what will happen. If you're not familiar with the process or are not comfortable with it don't ask me to list your items with a low starting bid and no reserve. There are other ways.
MANIPULATING AN AUCTION If it is determined by me that in some way you or parties related to you have manipulated or are attempting to manipulate the auction in any way I will promptly cancel all of your auctions and report you and any third parties to eBay. This is certainly a difficult thing for me to prove. But the folks at eBay take it very seriously and have a team of people who look into shill bidding and other illicit activities.
If my accusations are proven false I will either promptly relist your items for you and incur any additional listing fees myself or I will promptly mail your items back to you at my expense.
If however the team at eBay confirms my accusations I will levy a fine against you as outlined in the "Terms of Agreement" and will hold your items until the fine and cost of shipping your items back to you are paid in full.
If your actions endanger my position as a trusted seller on eBay, or in any way impedes my ability to utilize eBay 's auction service as a source of income I will pursue the matter to fullest extent that the law will allow.

I'm sure some of this may sound a bit harsh. But I have no intention of allowing anyone, via shill bidding or any other method to tarnish the reputation I've worked hard to maintain on eBay or worse, to seriously jeopardize my good standing with eBay and elsewhere or to jeopardize my relationship with eBay as a source of income. I'm sure you understand.
And hopefully no one will see it as unjust that I will seek compensation for my time should someone at the last minute decide they no longer want to sell their item or items. By then nearly all of the work is done for me except for possibly answering some emails and shipping the item or items.
I will make every effort to faithfully represent your items to the eBay community to help ensure they sell for Fair Market Value. As your Trading Assistant I promise to conduct your auctions as if they were my own and present your items in a professional manner with a professional presentation, accurate and thorough descriptions and attractive yet representative high quality photographs. And I promise to handle our relationship and all communication in a courteous and professional manner.

Here are the terms of agreement. A copy of these terms will be emailed to you and you are required to print a copy, sign and date it and include the signed copy with your items when you ship them to me. I will not list your items without a signed copy. If you've chosen to have your items listed using more than one method of auction you must print a copy for each selected method, check the appropriate box and list the items specific to each method on their respective copy. You must sign, date and include all copies when shipping your items. Again, I will not list your items without a signed copy or copies. This will avoid any items being listed other than in the manner you specifically request. |
