eBay customer? Check the Advertising Preferences!

[douglas9]

If you are an eBay customer, either as a seller or buyer, you may want to check the advertising preferences on the site if you have not done so in the past.

The marketplace eBay, just like Amazon and many other shopping related services on the Internet, displays advertisement to customers that browse the site. The company has partnerships with advertisers and may collect and share information while customers use services operated by eBay.

If you want to keep collected and shared data to a minimum, you need to check the advertising preferences on eBay and turn off anything there; all options are checked by default which means that data is collected and shared with partners.

2. This data sharing and lack of privacy is all worse than I thought.

Even after you check "no" on some and "opt-out" of others, it's still not assured that you are not being spied upon.

Thanks, douglas9.
