The eBay Community is made up of buyers, sellers and eBay staff.

It’s the place to go to:

• Connect with other eBay members
• Get help and learn how to use eBay
• Get the latest news and happenings

Community values

The eBay Community encourages open and honest communication among all its members and is guided by five core values:

• We believe people are basically good
• We believe everyone has something to contribute 
• We believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people
• We recognise and respect everyone as a unique individual
• We encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated

eBay is firmly committed to these principles and we believe you should also honour them − whether buying, selling or chatting with eBay friends.
