What happened?
eBay published an updated User Agreement on May 28, 2026, which will take effect on June 28. The update covers three main areas: rules for the eBay Live shopping feature; provisions for Managed Shipping in the U.S. to support a potential future integrated logistics service; and revisions to arbitration policies. eBay confirmed that Managed Shipping is still being tested for specific categories and regions and has not yet required most sellers to change their existing shipping methods. The new provisions provide a legal framework for future logistics upgrades.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Monitor eBay’s shift toward Managed Shipping, which could give the platform greater control over delivery speed and costs. Review your fulfillment capabilities in advance and watch official announcements about expanded testing to avoid unexpected process changes.
