Dear Community,
Here's an update on the Federal Court Decision involving Canada Revenue Agency and eBay.
"You may have recently read or heard about a recent Federal Court of Canada decision that may require eBay to release certain customer information regarding Canadian PowerSellers to the Canada Revenue Agency.
Please rest assured that eBay takes your privacy very seriously. We are continuing to seek out available and appropriate legal courses of action in this matter and will not release any information until we have further clarity.
Please also be aware that the court decision contemplates eBay releasing customer information of certain sellers that held PowerSeller status during the years of 2004 and 2005. Consequently, a change in your status at this time will not alter our information disclosure requirements.
As a member of the eBay online marketplace, and a seller that has achieved this milestone status, we want to assure you that we are working hard to find a just and reasonable resolution to this matter.
In the meantime, please remember that you are responsible for ensuring that you are in compliance with all local laws and regulations relating to your activities online. We will keep you updated on the progress of this matter as we learn more.
Regards,
Scott Shipman
Senior Counsel, Global Privacy Practices"
