Jury trial waiver and class, representative and non-individualized relief waiver

You and eBay waive constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial before a judge or jury, choosing instead that all Disputes be arbitrated except as specified. Each may bring claims only individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, representative, collective or private attorney general action, nor seek recovery of losses incurred by a third party, and only individual relief is available; the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only for the individual party and only as needed for that party's claim. If a final decision finds the limitations invalid for a particular claim, that claim (only) is severed from arbitration and may be brought in court, and the section does not prevent participation in a class-wide settlement.

Arbitration is administered by NAM under the FAA

The arbitrator applies the User Agreement as a court would and has exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including the enforceability, revocability, scope or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, except that disputes about the class and non-individualized relief waiver are decided by a court. The award is final and binding, the Federal Arbitration Act governs, and arbitration is administered by National Arbitration & Mediation under its Comprehensive Rules, supplemented by mass filing rules where applicable. If NAM is unavailable another administrator is selected by the parties or, failing agreement, the court. The arbitrator may direct a limited exchange of information, decides claims under applicable law including principles of equity and honors privilege, and is not bound by prior arbitrations involving different users but is bound by those involving the same eBay user to the extent required by law.

Arbitration demand contents, hearing location and offers of judgment

A party starting arbitration must send a Demand, which to eBay goes to its Litigation Department in Draper, Utah; eBay's Demands go to the physical address on file, which you must keep current. The Demand must include contact and username details, a statement whether the party is a U.S. resident, the legal claims and factual bases, the remedy sought with a good-faith amount, certification that Informal Dispute Resolution was completed, and certification that the party will pay filing fees, and counsel must also sign. If you are a U.S. resident the arbitration, including any in-person hearing, is in the county where you reside unless otherwise agreed, or as determined by the arbitrator for Batch Arbitration; non-U.S. residents arbitrate in Salt Lake County, Utah or another agreed location. Materials exchanged are confidential, and a party may serve a written offer of judgment at least 14 days before a hearing, with cost consequences if the other side does not do better.

Arbitration fees follow NAM schedules

Filing, administration and arbitrator fees follow the applicable NAM fee schedules but may be reapportioned: if you complied with Informal Dispute Resolution and the relief sought is $10,000 or less, eBay will at your request pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees. The parties bear their own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator finds the Dispute or relief sought frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, and an arbitrator may sanction a party that did not bring claims consistent with Rule 11(b) standards by ordering reimbursement of the responding party's arbitration costs and fees.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure

Batch arbitration: 25 or more similar demands are consolidated in batches of 100

If 25 or more individual Demands of a substantially similar nature are filed against eBay by or with the same law firm or organizations within a reasonably proximate period, for example 90 days, NAM administers them in batches of 100 (or a single batch of 25 to 99), with one arbitrator, one set of fees, one procedural calendar, one hearing and one final award per batch, concurrently where possible. Demands are substantially similar if they arise from the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and relief. Disagreements are decided by an Administrative Arbitrator whose fees eBay pays, and the process does not authorize class or representative arbitration.

Supporting quotations

in the event that there are 25 or more individual Demands of a substantially similar nature filed against eBay by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations ("Claimant’s Counsel"), within a reasonably proximate period of time, for example, a 90 day period, NAM shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Demands per batch
(2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch on a consolidated basis with one set of filing and administrative fees due per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be selected by Claimant’s Counsel or, if Claimant’s Counsel does not have a preference, by the arbitrator, and one final award
Demands are of a "substantially similar nature" if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issue(s) and seek the same or similar relief.
The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by eBay.
This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or representative arbitration or action of any kind
if between 25 and 99 individual Demands are filed, a single batch of all those Demands
