eBay has modified its user agreement, which
new and current members must accept to continue bidding or selling on the
auction site. The agreement now gives eBay the right to refuse its services to
anyone and prohibits sellers from linking indirectly or including descriptions
of goods and services that are banned by eBay. Also, eBay now requires that all
disagreements about its enforcement of the rules must be settled in binding
arbitration.
