eBay's User Agreement bars LLM-driven bots and buy-for-me agents
Section 3 of eBay's User Agreement forbids robots, scrapers and other automated means, "including, without limitation buy-for-me agents, LLM-driven bots," and end-to-end ordering flows without human review, to access eBay without eBay's prior express permission. The wording is in the version effective Feb 20, 2026 and the current one effective June 28, 2026.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a
A rule, not a fee. The risk is to your account: keep AI tools to files you upload yourself or to eBay-approved apps.
