Site interference policy
Interference or attempted interference with the eBay site and/or operations using any software program, routine, or activity is a serious offense and isn't permitted.
Members using the eBay site may only modify or add content in those areas specifically designated for member use. All content must also abide by all other eBay policies. Designated member areas are:
The description area of the listing page.
The reply box on eBay discussion, chat, and help boards.
The Feedback comments area of the Leave Feedback page.
The eBay email forwarding system text boxes on any page where you contact another eBay member.
In no case may a user block, obscure, overwrite, or modify any eBay-generated content or pages. All other site locations or components of eBay pages are strictly for eBay use. Users may only use site features and processes for their intended purposes.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Limits on account privileges
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
Some Examples
Changing the font color of the Seller info box isn't permitted
Buying or selling eBay Bucks, because these rewards are non-transferable
Writing software programs to "scrape" the eBay site is not permitted
Using a strike-through price or "compare at" price that is false or otherwise misleading or deceptive.
Why does eBay have this policy?
