  • eBay announced at end of February that it would modify its User Agreement and Privacy Policy to be effective on April 19, 2002 for users registered prior to March 19, 2002, and effective immediately for all new users who register on or after March 19, 2002. eBay has since made some clarifications to the Privacy Policy after receiving criticism from privacy advocates. To learn about the changes that have been made in the User Agreement, visit: http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/uarevision2-faq.html. To see the revised User Agreement, visit: http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-user2.html
  • eBay changed the shipping costs section on Sell Your Item form due to confusion experienced by both buyers and sellers. If you can read eBay's explanation of the problem and the solution and understand it, congratulations. You are an Advanced eBay user! The explanation requires an advanced degree in eBayology. http://www2.ebay.com/aw/marketing.shtml
  • eBay unveiled its new Travel portal on Tuesday, which it had announced last month. eBay Travel offers airline tickets from Priceline.com and vacation packages from National Leisure Group (NLG) as well as offerings from eBay sellers. A new design will allow searches for a variety of items in Airline Tickets, Hotel Rooms, Rental Cars, Vacation Packages and Cruises. eBay said its Travel Discount Providers have created unique shopping experiences especially for eBay members, and will offer unusual and hard-to-find travel items and experiences. http://www.ebaytravel.com
