My ex business partner and I founded Ruby Lane (I'm out now) and hosted our servers at he.net in Fremont CA. eBay wanted to meet with us so we were going to stop by on a server maintenance trip. When we walked into the eBay building, they presented us with an NDA and said it was routine and we couldn't walk into the building until we signed it. I refused, because they never told us we would need to sign an NDA and they didn't send it to us ahead of time to review. I didn't even bother reading it, because no matter what it says, if they later wanted to cause trouble over that NDA, we didn't have the financial resources to fight them. Even though they invited us and I told them we don't want to discuss any of eBay's trade secrets, they refused to budge on the NDA. So we met with an eBay person on their outdoor patio for about 30 minutes and then left.
