	***Original: Available Now – Business Equipment Purchase Protection***
	June 03, 2005 | 01:10PM PST/PT Patrick Jabal Hi…I'm Patrick Jabal, Director and General Manager of eBay Business. I'm pleased to announce the availability of Business Equipment Purchase Protection for items bought in selected capital equipment categories in the U.S. This new program is free to buyers and sellers and protects buyers for up to $20,000 for qualified purchases of $1,000 or more. More small businesses are buying capital equipment on eBay than ever. The launch of our new Business Equipment Purchase Protection will encourage this trend by helping buyers understand that they can buy with confidence on eBay – even when it comes to major capital equipment purchases. eBay's Business Equipment Purchase Protection program covers capital equipment buyers against deliberate and material misrepresentation by the seller when items are bought and sold on eBay, including items not received or items that have undisclosed damages or liens. There is no charge to sellers, and the coverage is automatic, so there is no sign-up, opt-in or registration necessary. Buyers will begin to see the Business Equipment Purchase Protection seal on qualified listings immediately. For more information, please visit our Business Equipment Purchase Protection program Help page. My team and I would appreciate your input on this new program, so feel free to comment on our Business & Industrial Discussion board. Sincerely, Patrick Jabal Director and General Manager, eBay Business
