eBidz is a marketplace that allows users to offer, sell, and buy
goods and services in various geographic locations using a variety of pricing
formats. eBidz is not a party to contracts for sale between third-party sellers
and buyers, nor is eBidz a traditional auctioneer.
Any guidance eBidz provides as part of our Services, such as
pricing, shipping, listing, and sourcing is solely informational and you may
decide to follow it or not. We may help facilitate the resolution of disputes
between buyers and sellers through various programs. Unless otherwise expressly
provided, eBidz has no control over and does not guarantee: the existence,
quality, safety, or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of
users' content or listings; the ability of sellers to sell items; the ability
of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a
transaction or return an item.
In connection with using or accessing our Services you agree to
comply with this User Agreement, our policies, our terms, and all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and you will not:
Sellers must meet
eBidz's minimum performance standards. Failure to meet these
standards may result in eBidz charging sellers additional fees, and/or
limiting, restricting, suspending, or downgrading your seller account.
If we believe you are violating this User Agreement or any of our
policies, or abusing eBidz and/or our Services in any way, we may, in our sole
discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate
your user account(s) and access to our Services, delay or remove hosted
content, remove any special status associated with your account(s), remove, not
display, and/or demote listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take
technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from using our Services. We
may offer a process allowing users to report claimed violations for us to
consider and handle through one or more of these options, all in our sole
discretion.
If we believe you are
violating our policies prohibiting Offers to buy or sell outside of eBidz, you may be
subject to a range of actions, including limits on your buying and selling
privileges, restrictions on listings and account features, suspension of your
account, application of fees, and recovery of expenses for policy monitoring and
enforcement. Also, as provided below in the Fees and Taxes section, if we
believe you are violating our policy on buying or selling outside of eBidz, you may be charged
final value fees.
We may cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been
inactive for a substantial period of time. Additionally, we reserve the right
to refuse, modify, or terminate all or part of our Services to anyone for any
reason at our discretion.
When a buyer or seller issue arises, we may consider the user's
performance history and the specific circumstances in applying our policies. We
may choose to be more lenient with policy enforcement in an effort to do the
right thing for both buyers and sellers. The foregoing does not limit or impair
our right to refuse, modify, or terminate all or part of our Services to
anyone, or to terminate this agreement with anyone, for any reason at our
discretion.
We charge sellers for the use of our Services. In some cases,
where buyers receive supplemental Services such as authentication or storage
Services for items in certain categories, we may also charge those buyers for
such supplemental Services.
The fees we charge
sellers for using our Services to sell goods and services are listed on our
Selling pages. We may change our selling fees from time to time by posting the
changes on the eBidz site fourteen (14) days in advance, but with no advance
notice required for temporary promotions or any changes that result in the
reduction of fees.
If you are a seller,
you are liable for fees arising out of all sales made using some or all of our
Services, even if sales terms are finalized or payment is made outside of
eBidz. In particular, if you offer or reference your contact information or ask
a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of eBidz, you may be liable
to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the
item doesn't sell, given your usage of our Services for the introduction to a
buyer.
You as a seller must
have a payment method on file when using our selling Services and pay all fees
and applicable taxes associated with your use of our Services by the payment
due date. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may
place restrictions on your account, or the eBidz Payments Entities (as defined
below) may collect amounts owed in the manner described in the Payments Terms of Use, and late fees will apply. eBidz, or the collection agencies
we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus,
and as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your
account may be reflected in your credit report. If you wish to dispute the
information eBidz reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax, or
TransUnion) please contact us at eBidz LLC., c/o Global Collections, 30 N Gould
St. STE 34256, Sheridan WY 82801. If you wish to dispute the information a
collection agency reported to a credit bureau regarding your eBidz account, you
must contact the collection agency directly.
When listing an item
for sale on our Services, you agree to comply with eBidz's Listing policies and Selling practices policy and also agree that:
When buying an item
using our Services, you agree to the Rules and policies for buyers and that:
Given the nature of
eBidz's global marketplace, listings may be viewed and purchased by, and
shipped to, buyers around the world. Many of our Services are accessible
internationally. We offer certain programs, tools, and experiences of
particular interest to international sellers and buyers, such as estimated
local currency conversion and international shipping calculation tools. If, as
a seller, you do not want your item to be sold to buyers internationally, you
can exclude countries or regions you don't want to ship to by adjusting your
shipping settings as provided in the International selling policy. Sellers and buyers are
responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to the
international sale, purchase, and shipment of items.
If you purchase an
item on an eBidz site that is different from your registration site, you are
subject to the User Agreement and applicable policies of that other eBidz site
with respect to that particular purchase, as detailed in the International selling policy.
For sellers, you
agree that we may display your listing for sale on an eBidz site other than the
site where you listed your item for sale, based on your shipping settings. You
may adjust these settings as detailed in the International selling policy. If you list your items
with an international shipping option, the appearance of your listings on sites
other than the listing site is not guaranteed. If you sell an item on an eBidz
site that is different from your registration or listing site, you are subject
to the User Agreement and applicable policies, including any buyer protection
programs, of that other eBidz site with respect to that particular sale, as
detailed in the International selling policy.
You authorize us to use automated tools to translate your eBidz
content, including member-to-member communications, in whole or in part, into
local languages where such translation solutions are available. We may provide
you with tools which will enable you to translate content at your request. The
accuracy and availability of any translation are not guaranteed.
One of the ways we
make eBidz.com listings available to international buyers is through the eBidz
International Shipping Program ("EIS"). EIS enables buyers to obtain
parcel processing, international shipping, and customs clearance services. It
is facilitated by eBidz through third-party service providers that eBidz has
contracted with to operationalize the program. By listing your item on
eBidz.com you agree to the EIS Terms and Conditions. If
you choose not to participate in EIS, you can opt out of the program by
updating your shipping preferences.
