eBay's founder, Pierre Omidyar said "You have to build trust before you begin a transaction." This is as true today as it was when Pierre said it over 20 years ago. eBay is the Trust handshake between our buyers and sellers.

Fast-paced, dynamic, and proactive, eBay's Trust team is dedicated to making eBay a safe and trusted platform. For eBay, nothing is more important than trust. The vast majority of transactions on eBay go perfectly and when things go wrong our buyers and sellers can almost always make things right. In the cases where buyers and sellers cannot work things out, the policies, operations and user experiences that the Trust teams manage come into play. Key areas of focus include seller protections, the post-purchase experience, customer reviews, the eBay Money Back Guarantee, seller performance and platform communications.

We're incredibly proud of our work to establish a trusted global marketplace, but we're not complacent. Our promise to the hundreds of millions of eBay's customers is to remain steadfast in our efforts to provide the safest, most secure, and most trusted marketplace, for buyers and sellers, around the world.
