Requirements for membership According to the Federal Trade Commission, Internet auction fraud has become a significant problem. Most consumer complaints center on sellers who don't deliver the advertised goods; deliver something far less valuable than they advertises; don't deliver in a timely way; or fail to disclose all the relevant information about the product or terms of the sale. Federal laws prohibit deceptive or misleading acts in commerce, including Internet auctions. You are required to advertise your product honestly and accurately. Sellers are prohibited from offering illegal goods through Internet auctions. This includes imported items made to look as if produced by a collectible company with the place of origin sticker or mark removed, and the selling of reproductions and fakes produced to deceive the buyer into believing they are authentic Our Membership requirements are simple and are only what is required by Federal law, and eBay guidelines Advertising Your Product Describe your item or service -- and its condition-- as fully and accurately as possible, including whether it's new, used or reconditioned. While many auction sites monitor their sites and attempt to delete illegal items, the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that a sale is legal rests with the seller. There are no membership Dues or Fees to join.
