Is ebay sensoring my 4th amendment of free speech because if they are we need to file a group suit

Question

I tried to get this sellar to start shipping my item because it was 3 day free shipping and I called him a lazy **bleep**. Now he says arriving Saturday but I ordered it 2 days ago. Ebay didn't like my speech so the blocked my message. They don't like my speech tuff **bleep** nobody has the right to sensor. They shouldn't be allowed to do business period. Let's run thier ass out of business and get a platform that doesn't sensor. This is bull**bleep**.

Did you read the listing properly? Shipping time was 3 days, which means the seller has 3 days to ship, not 3 days and you will receive it.

The word is bleeped out because you cannot use foul language here. Calling the seller a bad name sure isn't going to make them ship faster.

Leaving a negative feedback because you perceive an item to be late even though it was shipped the next day is just wrong. Patience. The seller cannot control the USPS.

The 4th amendment pertains to unreasonable searches and seizures. You're thinking of the 1st amendment which states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This does not apply to eBay or any private company who can make their own rules about conduct and speech. You must adhere to the policies in the User Agreement you signed.

You can refresh your memory on the Bill of Rights here:

@altor231 It is the FIRST amendment that deals with free speech, and it does not pertain to entities such as Ebay. Ebay can set their own rules regarding choosing to censor profanity. The First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
