PRICING TOOLS TERMS

These Pricing Tools Terms are relevant for users of Seller Hub Promotions, Strikethrough Pricing, eBay Coupons, all other eBay Pricing Tools and Coded Coupons.

Acceptance

These Pricing Tools Terms will be effective upon acceptance for those users who accept them through registration for use of the Pricing Tools, for existing users automatically 30 days after they are initially posted or once agreed at the time of using a Pricing Tool where indicated. The previous version of the Pricing Tools Terms can be found here.

By using eBay’s pricing promotion tool(s) as further defined in Section 1(a) below ("Pricing Tools") and participating in any Promotion as described here below, you (“You” or "Your”) agree to be bound by the following Pricing Tools Terms and Conditions ("Pricing Tools Terms") and to act in accordance with these Pricing Tools Terms. These Pricing Tools Terms apply in addition to eBay's User Agreement, eBay’s Privacy Policy, other eBay policies and all applicable laws, codes and regulatory guidance, including, without limitation, the CAP Code and the CTSI Guidance for Traders on Pricing Practices. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Pricing Tools Terms and any other agreement or policy between You and eBay, these Pricing Tools Terms will prevail as they relate to Your use of any of the Pricing Tools and/or participation in any Promotion. These Pricing Tools Terms, as may be amended from time to time, will remain in effect so long as you continue to use any Pricing Tools.

  1. Pricing Tools

    1. For the purpose of these Pricing Tools Terms, “Pricing Tools” mean and include the following functionalities, tools and programs:
      1. “Comparative Pricing Functionality”: allows You to compare a recommended or historical price for an item in comparison to the current selling price, in order to establish the value of the discount to the buyer. It includes, but is not limited to “sale event + markdown”, “sale event”, “comparative pricing tools” like recommended retail pricing (RRP), comparing to a manufacturer-set market value; and “historical pricing” ('was'), comparing to a price previously charged in the relevant market.
      2. “Cross-Selling Functionality (CSF)”: allows You to adjust the pricing of Your listings when they are offered and sold to buyers as part of a cross promotional offer. This means that You can offer buyers certain offers or discounts when they buy certain items or a combination of items. The discount can either be a percentage or fixed amount. CSF may include, but is not limited to, the use of the following tool on the eBay Site such as Multi-Buy, Order discount, eBay Coupons and Coded Coupons.
    2. All of the above Pricing Tools enable You to offer discounts on your listings (“Promotion”) to eBay buyers under the hereby contractual conditions.
    3. Each of the Pricing Tools functionality may not be available on all eBay Sites (eBay Site means any eBay local site where the Promotion is offered by You to eBay users. It includes mobile web, applications and tools, but does not include any current or future domestic co-branded properties in which eBay currently participates or may participate in the future).

  2. Use of Pricing Tools

    1. You will only be able to use any Pricing Tools if you are a registered seller on eBay and have been invited to use such Pricing Tools by eBay in its sole discretion.
    2. Your use of Pricing Tools is subject to You complying at all times with eBay's policies, in particular but without limitation: (i) eBay’s minimum standards for all sellers; (ii) eBay’s Prohibited and restricted items policies; and (iii) eBay's Comparative Pricing Policy (if the above mentioned functionalities are available on the eBay Site you operate and have been made available to You). eBay has the right to temporarily or permanently exclude You from using Pricing Tools should You fail to meet these requirements and/or comply with these policies.
    3. eBay can at any time and in its sole discretion expand or limit participation or use of the Pricing Tools, or restrict and limit its use.
    4. eBay, in its sole discretion, shall decide whether and where on the eBay Site listings issued from any Pricing Tools will be displayed to eBay buyers, and whether and in a manner of its choosing to explain to eBay buyers what those offers are and how they operate. This includes, but is not limited to, eBay's decision to display items that have strike-through pricing using Comparative Pricing Functionality.
    5. You represent, warrant and undertake that You shall provide the buyer and eBay with accurate information related to performance, efficacy and price (including the current recommended retail price and/or the current selling price without any discount (both referred to as “List Price”)) of items included in Your Promotions. Any discounted price shall be as set by You for a Promotion on the eBay Site and You shall offer the listing and market the Promotion (including where such marketing is not on the eBay site) in accordance with all applicable laws, codes and regulatory guidance in the respective country where the Promotion will be offered and promoted. The buyer and eBay are exclusively relying upon Your representation of all such information provided by You, including but not limited to the List Price, and You shall be responsible for any fines or penalties that may be imposed as a result of Your Promotions, including but not limited to the product itself and/or any inaccurate or misleading statement of the information. You acknowledge and agree that eBay may display a “% off” on the eBay site(s) in connection with the Promotion, to represent a discount to the List Price.
    6. You acknowledge and agree that where you use multiple Pricing Tools and offer multiple Promotions, if a buyer attempts to use a Promotion to purchase an item which is eligible for multiple Promotions, eBay will automatically process the best value Promotion available to the buyer so that the buyer receives the greatest discount available, regardless of which Promotion was in fact used by the buyer.
    7. You represent and warrant and undertake that when marketing or sharing any Promotion (including, but not limited to, Coded Coupons) whether on or off the eBay site (including, but not limited to, Your marketing and social media channels), shall comply with all applicable laws, codes (including, but not limited to, the CAP Code) and regulations in respect of offering and promoting such Promotion. In respect of the CAP Code in particular, you must comply with the following non-exhaustive list:
      1. Include a start date and an end date for the Coded Coupons;
      2. Ensure that the end date is accurate and not misleading. You must not end, or cause to end, the Coded Coupons prior to the end date. In the event that the Coded Coupons come to an end prior to the end date as a result of, for instance, the set budget being reached, you commit to ensuring that an updated budget is entered to ensure that the buyers can take advantage of the coupon until the initially stated end date without any interruption;
      3. State and clearly link to the terms and conditions applicable to the Coded Coupons;
      4. Clearly state all significant conditions when sharing the Coded Coupons and not share the Coded Coupons if you are unable to do so. Significant conditions include, but are not limited to, the minimum purchase price that the Coded Coupon can be applied to, the maximum discount the buyer can receive, the period during which the Coded Coupon is valid, the maximum number of redemptions, and any item restrictions or exclusions.

  3. Deals

    1. For the purposes of this section 3, “Deals” mean featured promotions on the eBay site promoting those seller listings which eBay in its discretion considers may be of particular interest to eBay buyers (by reason of, for example, the selling price, buying trends, seasonality).
    2. Your Promotions may, in eBay’s absolute discretion, be featured on the Deals section of eBay sites and You hereby consent to the inclusion of any such Promotion on the eBay sites. You recognise that, as a result of the additional prominence that your Promotions may receive as result of featuring on the Deals section of the eBay site(s), You may be required to comply with additional terms and/or policies with regard to eBay Deals as may be notified by eBay to You.
    3. You have no entitlement whatsoever to request any Promotion to feature on the Deals section of any eBay site and the inclusion by eBay of Your Promotion on the Deals section of any eBay site does not imply that any of Your Promotions will in the future be included in such section.
