    • No eBay API Mark may be used on or in connection with any material that libels or defames eBay or any of its vendors or customers;
    • No eBay API Mark may be used on or in connection with any material that violates any state, federal or foreign law or regulation.
  • Prior Submission of Samples. eBay reserves the right to require you to submit samples of any and all materials bearing the eBay API Mark to eBay for review and approval prior to the distribution of such materials. Unless otherwise provided for in your written agreement with eBay, eBay shall have the right to make reasonable objections to any such sample within fifteen (15) days of its receipt thereof on the grounds that eBay believes in good faith that the use and/or distribution of such materials by you will be damaging to the recognition value or reputation for quality associated with the eBay Logo, or the materials do not meet the requirements of this Policy or your written agreement with eBay.

Advertising Guidelines

The eBay Site is a "person to person trading site" or an "online trading site." The eBay Site should never be referred to as an "auction site." Additionally, because your listings on the eBay Site are not "auctions" as that term is commonly understood, do not refer to your listings as "auctions". Suitable alternatives include: "items", "listings" and auction-style listings." Please do not refer to eBay as a "partner." Your relationship with eBay may be characterized as an "agreement."
