EBay Revises User Agreement to Address Fraud

EBay Inc., an Internet auctioneer, revised its user agreement, offering insurance and addressing issues such as counterfeit items, seeking to make the site safer for users as it comes under investigation on fraud complaints. EBay said it will cancel the account of anyone found to have engaged in fraudulent activity. The move comes as the San Jose, Calif.-based company is being investigated by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs over users’ complaints about fraud.
