8. eBay does not formally screen Trading Assistants to confirm a set of professional credentials.

10. All transactions and disputes between Trading Assistants and their clients are governed by the terms of the agreement between the Trading Assistant and the third party and not the eBay user agreement. eBay encourages Trading Assistants to enter into written contracts with clients that address all issues relevant to the relationship.
