Privacy Policy
eBay Tracking Popup Autofill (Chrome extension) · Last updated: October 24, 2026
This policy explains what the “eBay Tracking Popup Autofill” extension does with your data. In short: the extension works entirely inside your browser and does not send any data to me or to any third party.
What the extension does
When you open eBay’s “Sendungsnummern hinzufügen oder bearbeiten” (add or edit tracking numbers) popup, the extension reads the tracking number you copied to your clipboard, enters it into the tracking number field, selects the carrier “DHL Germany”, and can click “Speichern und weiter” for you.
Data the extension accesses
- Clipboard content: read only when eBay’s add-tracking popup opens, to get the tracking number you copied. It is not stored or transmitted, other than being entered into the eBay form you are using.
- Order number shown in the popup: read from the popup so the extension can detect duplicate submissions.
- Error messages shown by eBay in the popup: read so the extension can warn you when eBay rejects a tracking number.
Data stored on your device
To warn you if a tracking number is reused on a different order, the extension saves tracking numbers it has submitted, together with the matching order number and a timestamp, in your browser’s local extension storage (chrome.storage.local). This data stays on your device. It is not synced, uploaded, or shared.
Data we do not collect
- No personal information, browsing history, or account details are collected.
- No analytics, tracking, advertising, or cookies are used.
- No data is sold, shared, or transferred to third parties.
- No remote code is loaded; the extension runs only the code included in its package.
Where the extension runs
The extension runs only on eBay websites (ebay.de and ebay.com), as listed in its permissions. It does not run on other websites.
Permissions explained
- clipboardRead / offscreen: to read the tracking number you copied.
- storage: to remember submitted tracking numbers locally.
- eBay website access: to detect the popup and fill in its fields.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the extension removes all data it stored. You can also clear it at any time from your browser’s extension settings.
