I don't qualify for the case. Do you know if this is limited to eBay users who actually reside in California?

There is a place one can select NO (the default is set to YES) to allow your personal data and site behavior to be used.

Though I changed the default on two accounts, I just tried to do it on my last one. It took three tries. Don't know how effective it will be.

I am thinking it is specifically related to AI?

Have experienced same as everyone else, but I don’t even have Advanced Options listed. A warning, 2 items I listed earlier, one came up free postage for the buyer, another postage to cost buyer £4.92 on a £5 item. Deleted both and presumably will have to find another way to sell books as a private seller.
