eBay is a community that encourages open and honest communication among all its members. Our community is guided by five fundamental values:

• We believe people are basically good.
  
• We believe everyone has something to contribute.
  
• We believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people.
  
• We recognise and respect everyone as a unique individual.
  
• We encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated.

eBay is firmly committed to these principles. And we believe that community members should also honour them—whether buying, selling, or chatting with eBay friends.
