That is true, in terms of not bidding if you don't like it, but Ebay is
a private firm (AFAIK), and they can impose whatever they want in terms
of you using their facility. If you don't like their limits, don't use
it. They do have that "I agree to all of these terms, click the box,
etc." in their user agreements.
