Ebay T & C's

[Qui Gon Jinn]

Through suggestion the T & C's for Ebay UK were changed but

6) Domain Names and URL's.

You shall not use "eBay" or any confusingly similar variation thereof in Your domain name or URL. However, You can use "eBay" within a sub-domain or URL path as long as "eBay" is not the prominent part of the sub-domain as in the following example: www.jolene.co.uk/auction-place/ebay.html and provided this use is solely in connection with your activities on eBay and not for any other purpose.


Is it's intent that

www.jolene.co.uk/auction-place/ebay.html

is acceptable or not acceptable, it's a little ambiguous

Previosuly it said

4) Domain Names and URL's. You shall not use "eBay" or any confusingly similar variation thereof in your domain name or URL (including subdomain or URL path).

However Ebay US still has these clause

To me, the above states you can use ebay as the example shows, but on that page you can only show ebay as it should be or only promote ebay.

However it also says sub domains are ok ebay.auction.co.uk not ebayauction.co.uk it's a shame their example didn't contain an actual subdomain. Some clever punter is getting a lot traffic from their example
