Hello! I work for DarKear Services International, an internet company that is creating a website for MYeBayPro, a company that will setup a retail establishments’ eBay store, paypal account, and everything else needed for selling their inventory on eBay.
Since eBay (both the name and logo) is on the website, and in the name, clearly they are a threat to being sued by eBay for infringement (along with PayPal, i suppose…).
How can I “cite” their copyrights on the site? Here is what I have so far in the foot-note, including our footnote of copyright and ownership:
Site content and design copyright (c) 2011 by DarKear Services International, in association with MYeBayPro. This site, in part or in whole, may not be copied without owner and editor consent.

Can we still get in trouble? What else should be in there?
Thanks!

Copyrights On Your Site Of Another’s Logos And Names?
Posted on June 20, 2011.
Just because you attribute trademark rights does not give you the right to use the Trademarks. Using the name eBay in your site name is asking for a lawsuit, frankly, since you are trading directly off their name and reputation.
You really need to contact eBay’s customer relations department and inform them of what you want to do and ask direct permission to use their name and logos. Without having their permission in writing you are asking for trouble.
The link you provided has nothing to do with what you are wanting to do. It simply informs sellers on eBay as to what they can do when listing an item.
Hope it helps http://buyour.info/87979/creating-a-website
