At this point worrying about so-called privacy is really an idle
exercise of hand wringing. That horse left the barn a long, long time
ago. If any, and I mean any, governmental body, agency, etc., starts
taking an interest in your activities, there is nothing on this earth
that can stop that. Every iota of one's life is turned up side down,
willingly or unwillingly. 
If anything, ebay, is articulating an acquiescence that has been with us
since the days of the cold war, and earlier, i.e. Wilson's Red Scare. I
certainly couldn't fault ebay for acknowledging what is already common practise.
