using the 'eBay' term in descriptions

flashback_deals — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 03:01:43 GMT

Just got a message from eBay and need help to clarify something

I usually state ' I prefer Bank Deposit, please use your eBay username as the reference'

Does this new policy mean I can't state the term 'eBay' like that in the description anymore?

What was the message you got from eBay? Some people around here are good, but I don't think anyone is psychic

Do you mean the "Using eBay's intellectual property" link in the 'New Look" email? (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/everyone-ebayipuse.html)

I think it's always been like that, but if you're concerned, you could out the word eBay and switched it for member, most people would understand what you're referring to.

Your would be covered under this section of the policy.

Allowed - Referring to eBay in a descriptive way on your website, in listings, or in advertisements. For example, you can say, "Check out my antique items on eBay" or "I sell on eBay."

Is this the message - I received this in my Inbox - very exciting stuff - NOT!!!! I'm wondering if we now change the spelling of eBay, which I hardly ever spell correctly anyway?

I know so little, didn't know we had a Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific 😮

Disappointed there doesn't appear to be a REPLY button 😞

ANNOUNCING A NEW LOOK FOR EBAY To the Australian seller community:

Because of you, the eBay marketplace has flourished. In just 17 years, you have helped build an "experiment" into a global destination with incredible selection that connects more than 100 million people around the world.

I'm excited to welcome you to the next chapter in eBay's history. The world of shopping is changing, and eBay is changing, too.

Today, we deliver a cleaner, more contemporary and consistent experience, with innovation that makes buying and selling easier and more enjoyable. To reflect our dramatically improved global marketplace, we have introduced a new face for the eBay Marketplaces logo.

Our refreshed logo reflects eBay today. It's the eBay you helped us create by meeting heightened customer expectations for features like free shipping, returns and outstanding customer service.

Although our look is a bit different, there's one thing that will never change: We will always connect people to the things they need and love. And now, we are delivering on this vision by empowering our buyers and sellers to connect anytime, anywhere.

We are proud of our past. Now, we're focused on our game-changing future, and we're bringing it to life for you.

We are sharing this news with you, because we value how much you contribute to our global community. In mid-October, we will make the logo available, subject to our usage guidelines.

We thank you for the incredible selection and world-class experiences you bring to eBay buyers. After 17 years, there's still nothing like eBay.

You can learn more about our new logo and hear from eBay President Devin Wenig here.

Jay Lee,
Senior Vice President
eBay Asia Pacific

Because of you

maybe all of us that actualy read it should be asking for a share of the profits, as it is stated clearly 'because of you' - they left a little bit of wording out that would encompass the entire membership

Well I'm not quite sure as totally confused. Also trying to work out what the approx amount my next invoice will be.

Looked up link for "Using eBay's intellectual property" and found this under "RESTRICTIONS"

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/everyone-ebayipuse.html

eBay is always spelled "eBay." It's never spelled "Ebay," "e-Bay," "ebay," or any other way.

Guess that will need to be changed whenever somebody notices it. :^O

Off to list a few things elsewhere right now!!!!

Instead of being "crooked" the new logo will now be "straight".

I wonder if this is symbolic of anything?
