EASIBAY – TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Introduction
These terms & conditions (the Terms ) shall govern and be incorporated in every Contract between EASI Trading Limited (the Company ) and the seller (the Seller ) of an item or group of items (a lot ) on the eBay online sales venue (the Site ).
In these Terms, Contract means each individual arrangement for the Company to place a lot or lots on the Site on behalf of the Seller, and any purchaser of a lot is the Buyer .
The Company may require identification evidence from every Seller (one of the following:  passport, driving license, utility bill or other photo IDs), before it can act on the Seller's behalf.

2. The Lots
The Company agrees to act as agent for the Seller. The Company does not buy the lot from the Seller. The Seller remains solely responsible for any:

• statement which the Seller makes about or description of a lot including but not limited to references as to its ownership, origin, date, age, or authenticity; and
• faults or defects in any lot; and
• any other things the Seller does or says in relation to the lot including but not limited to any breach of these Terms.

The Seller must satisfy itself that the information which the Company records regarding each lot is true and accurate.

3. The Buyer
The Company does not act on behalf of the Buyer. The Company cannot guarantee the existence of, or bids made by, a Buyer or other bidders and is not responsible for anything they do or say in relation to a lot, including but not limited to any breach of the rules of the Site (the Rules ).
The Company will however use reasonable skill and care in offering each lot for sale on the Site in accordance with the following parameters:
•  the Seller shall be entitled to put a reserve price on any lot but must do so before the Company places the lot for sale on the Site (a Reserve ). The Company charges a fee of £5 plus 2.25% of the actual reserve price (the Reserve Fee ) for setting such a reserve price (the Company will credit the Seller for this fee should the lot sell); and

• subject to any Reserve:
• the Company has absolute discretion to refuse any bid, to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot from sale as permitted by the Rules; and
• the highest bidder reasonably acceptable to the Company shall be the Buyer; and
• subject to the provisions of the Rules if, during the sale of a lot, the Company considers that a dispute has arisen, or in any other circumstances in which it would be reasonable, the Company may immediately put up the lot again for sale or, alternatively, it shall be the sole arbitrator in any dispute between bidders and its decision shall be final and binding on all concerned.

4. The Purchase Price & Commission
In return for the provision of its services, and in addition to any Reserve fee, the Seller authorises the Company to deduct commission of
Service Level …………………………….
Sales under £30 …………………………
Sales over £30 …………………………..
of the purchase price paid by the Seller.
Where the Company has to make Home Collections of items from the Seller's home an appropriate and agreed fee of no less than £10 will also be charged. Where a Seller cancels instructions for the sale, the Company will charge the higher of the Reserve Fee or a fee of £10 as a contribution towards its reasonable handling costs.
The Company shall remit the remainder of the purchase price received from the Buyer to the Seller within four weeks of the end of an auction. A dispute with the Site or a bank will pause this period.

• Where any lot fails to sell, the Company will notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller will make arrangements:
• for the Company to re-offer the lot for sale for a fee of £10; or
• to collect the lot within 7 days of being so notified; or
• to authorise the Company to donate it or sell it with proceeds minus a charge to cover its reasonable administration costs to go to a recognised charity.

If such arrangements are not made within 14 days of notifying the Seller that their lot has not sold, the Company shall donate it or sell it with proceeds minus a charge to cover its reasonable administration costs to go to a recognised charity.

5. The Seller's Obligations
The Seller confirms that:

• all information supplied regarding the Seller's identity and each lot is true and accurate; and
• it is the owner of the lot, or is properly authorised to sell the lot by the true owner, and that it is able to transfer full ownership of the lot to the Buyer free from any other claim; and
• it is selling as a private individual and not acting in the course of a business, accordingly any agreement between Seller and Buyer will be a private sale; and
• it is not registered for VAT. If this is not the case, the Seller should notify the Company in writing giving the VAT registration number.
• in addition to these Terms and Conditions it will comply with the Rules for each Site, which for the main current site eBay can be accessed on http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/index.html

6. Personal Data
The Company shall use the personal information supplied regarding the Seller to provide the services as requested by the Supplier under each Contract. The Company will not publish the Seller's personal information on the Site or pass it to any third party unless required to do so by the Rules of the Site, e.g. in the event of dispute, or by law. The Company may from time to time contact the Seller with information about the Company's services but the Seller shall be given an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such information during registration or may subsequently do so at any time.

7. General
All Contracts to which these Terms apply shall be governed by the laws of the relevant territory within the UK in which the Seller lives and the courts of that territory shall have the exclusive right to deal with any dispute.
The Seller acknowledges that the Company will commence supplying its services to the Seller when a Contract is agreed. As a result the Seller should be aware that it does not have the right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 or any equivalent legislation.
The Company's rights under each Contract remain in force at all times. If the Company does not enforce any or all of these rights for any period it does not mean that it has given them up.
The Company will compensate the Seller for any loss or damage that the Seller may suffer if it fails to carry out its obligations under each Contract to a reasonable standard or breach any duties imposed on it by law (including if it causes death or personal injury by its negligence) unless that failure is attributed to: (a) the Seller's own fault; (b) a third party unconnected with the Company's provision of services under this Agreement; or (c) events which neither the Company nor its suppliers could have foreseen or forestalled even if they have taken reasonable care. Prior to an auction being concluded the company the value of each lot for the purpose of possible compensation shall be the higher of its Start Price and Reserve Price. After the conclusion of an auction it will be the higher of its Start Price and the highest bona fide bid.
