Contracts policy

Policy overview

Since eBay isn't a party to these types of contracts, we don't advise on contractual issues, review contracts, adjudicate, or take sides in any contract disputes, or enforce terms from third parties restricting the resale of an item.

If you have any questions about your rights or obligations under a contract or agreement, get in touch with the company you have the contract with or talk to a lawyer for advice.
