Retail Marketplaces Restrict Agentic AI Shopping

Major online marketplaces including eBay and Amazon are moving to limit agentic AI shopping tools as those systems shift toward fully autonomous transactions. eBay updated its user agreement effective Feb. 20 to block autonomous buying agents without permission, while Amazon sued Perplexity in November and promotes its own Rufus assistant, citing security and customer-trust concerns. Merchants worry about lost brand exposure and increased fraud risk.
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry and legal impact driven by official marketplace policies and lawsuits; limitation is modest technological novelty and incremental nature.
