To buy and sell on eBay, you'll need to accept the terms outlined in our User Agreement and Privacy Policy.

eBay's User Agreement

eBay’s User Agreement is a legal document that outlines the relationship between you and eBay and provides information about the services available to you on the site, eBay's fees and the buyer-seller relationship for listing, bidding on, and buying items on eBay.

In addition, you need to be at least 18 years old to register on eBay because eBay is available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are under the age of 18, you can use eBay only in conjunction with, and under the supervision of your parents or guardians.
