Conformance Standard
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
While we strive for WCAG 2.0 Level AA conformance on all eBay Products, we follow some Level AAA Success Criteria, for example:
- Providing visually hidden text for ambiguous links and buttons
Additionally, we follow some WCAG 2.1 Success Criteria, for example:
- Providing sufficient contrast for non-text content
- Supporting multiple device orientations
- Ensuring sufficient touch target sizes
