Hi This is Matt Halprin, Vice President, Global Marketplace Policy Management.
At eBay Live! I announced some policy improvements and new enforcement consequences. As part of our effort to make it easier for members to understand and comply with our policies, I also announced that we would create four new policy tutorials.
I'm pleased to announce that this week we are launching four new tutorials. Together with the Intellectual Property Rules and VeRO tutorial that we launched earlier this year, these tutorials will help you understand some of our most important policies.
These four new tutorials will help you understand the following policies better:
* Shill Bidding
* Feedback
* Search and Browse Manipulation (also known as keyword spamming)
* Fee Circumvention
Each tutorial is organized into three parts:
* Policy overview and examples
* A few questions to test your understanding of the policy, with explanations indicating why your answers are correct or incorrect
* A summary of key lessons
You'll be able to access these tutorials from the Feedback Forum and the Help pages for shill bidding, feedback, search and browse manipulation (also known as keyword spamming), fee circumvention, and Intellectual Property Rules and VeRO.
Next month, we will launch these tutorials on all our sites globally. Furthermore, in a few months we will require that members who repeatedly violate these policies take these tutorials in order to continue trading on the site.
