Re: eBay Class Action Billing Suit Updates
I had a few cents here and there that did NOT compute as well.
I think most of mine bounced back. But not sure. Oh well just another reason not to trust ebay.

nice to see the improper rounding being included in the suit. I noticed some improper rounding on my acct also back then and feel confident that they did it to everyone. [/quote] Those fractional pennies add up quickly when a company is rounding up on a million or more invoices... |

[/quote]That was my thoughts too at the time; all those extra pennies is easily paying for at least one persons salary. I just didnt feel like fighting with the idiots at ebay over a few pennies, which is what they counted on, i'm sure. Quote:my thoughts about how an ebay meeting probably went |

eBay Settles Class Action Billing Suit
eBay 10Q SEC Filing
Quote:In July 2004, a purported class action lawsuit was filed by two eBay users in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara (No. 104CV022708) alleging that eBay engaged in improper billing practices as the result of problems with the rollout of a new billing software system in the second and third quarters of 2004. The lawsuit sought damages and injunctive relief. An amended complaint was filed in January 2005, dropping one plaintiff, changing the capacity of the other plaintiff to that of representative plaintiff, and adding seven additional eBay users as plaintiffs. The amended complaint expanded its claim to include numerous alleged improper billing practices from September 2003 until the present. In February 2005, eBay filed a motion to strike and a demurrer seeking to dismiss the complaint. In April 2005, the court sustained portions of the demurrer, but granted the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint. The plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, dropping the last original plaintiff and again adding new plaintiffs. We filed a motion to strike and a demurrer regarding the plaintiffs second amended complaint. In July 2005, the court again sustained a portion of the demurrer and again granted the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint, and the plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint. In December 2005, the plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint, dropping several plaintiffs. In April 2006, the court approved a settlement agreement entered into by the parties. Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss the lawsuit and release eBay from all claims, and eBay agreed to make a $250,000 payment primarily directed to charity. The estimated settlement was accrued in our consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Auctionbytes: Quote:Fazio said eBay's over-billing was only one aspect of the case. The lawsuit also included a claim for fair procedure, the purpose of which was to obtain for sellers the right to receive notice and the opportunity to be heard before eBay could shut down their businesses. Fazio said, "In other words, we sought to prevent eBay from arbitrarily terminating sellers' membership, on which many rely as a major - or even a sole - source of their income." full article: http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y06/m04/i25/s00 |

Ebay's lawyers are total bastards. > [/quote] When eBay knows the other side has a winning case it pulls every trick in the book to drag the trial out for as long as possible hoping the other side will eventually get sick of fighting (or run out of money to pay their lawyers) and agree to settle or drop the case. In most cases over the years that strategy has worked for eBay. It did this time.

Re: eBay Class Action Billing Suit Updates
Just my two cents . . . eBay loves class actions because they just have to defend one suit. And, as BBH said, they can wait and spend most folks out.
I would LOVE to see a couple thousand sellers all file suit against eBay in their local small claims court . . . on the same day. As an aside, eBay just *withdrew* their registered agent from the state of Georgia. However, they are maintaining the RA for the realty business. EBAY INC.

Re: eBay Class Action Billing Suit Updates
Just goes to show you in our modern times there is
only one way to beat a giant like ebay. Simply close your wallet before you get screwed. The mileyazwipe: over at feebays boards. (you know who they are). Call me a hypocrite because I still use the service. Still haven't been burnt and wont get burnt either. I never said I didn't use the service I was just vocal about how I and others felt the service was being run into the ground by ebay. As you can see.. It is worst now than before ebay bought them out. Ironically. I have only had 5 PayPal paid orders this month so far for a total of 166.00 My merchant account on the hand, has handled in access of 2000.00 It's true what BBH says. Once you out of ebay. PP is not even a blip on the rest of the worlds computer screens. I think the trend will continue downward for the bay and I hope more will wake up and close their wallets or significantly reduce the $$ they pay that group of criminals. Sorry I'm way Need some rest... Got lots of work to do in the AM. God I hate ebay.
