Access to the Trading Assistant directory is a privilege and not a right and eBay may remove a Trading Assistant from the directory at any time. eBay retains sole discretion regarding the manner in which Trading Assistant information is listed within the directory. eBay's listing of a member in the directory does not constitute an endorsement or approval of the Trading Assistant.
5. eBay members who have registered for listing on the Trading Assistant directory may withdraw from the directory at any time.

8. eBay does not formally screen Trading Assistants to confirm a set of professional credentials.

10. All transactions and disputes between Trading Assistants and their clients are governed by the terms of the agreement between the Trading Assistant and the third party and not the eBay user agreement. eBay encourages Trading Assistants to enter into written contracts with clients that address all issues relevant to the relationship.

13. Trading Assistants are responsible for evaluating all local laws relating to proxy selling on eBay for others and all laws applicable to the sale of real estate, automobiles, or other regulated items. Whenever required by law, Trading Assistants will first become licensed as a broker or dealer, assume obligations to inspect or make disclosures about the condition of the items, and comply with other legal requirements when selling these types of items for clients.
