I completely stopped selling AND buying on eBay. COMPLETELY. WILL NEVER USE AGAIN. I've made all of my online purchases on other platforms. Too many fees and **bleep** associated with selling on eBay. Did y'all hear about the ebay stalking scandal of 2019?

[mam98031]

Yes, same suit, not a new one.  Not that it really matters.

I said this suit existed in my other posting.  It is a Civil Suit.

I typed SANDAL...my bad...scandal.

No. I haven't. Would you like to give me the condensed story on this? 🙂

Have fun wherever you go.

Keep in mind that we really don't care for announcements on departures from ebay. Actually we do...it gives us something to poke fun at.

Oh it is a big thing with a handful of Ebay employees involved.  They were all fired shortly after this came to light.  To include Wenig [CEO].  Most have been prosecuted and are serving prison sentences.  There is a Civil suit going on by the people they targeted relentlessly.  It was some of the worst of the worst behavior I've ever heard.

Buyers rarely care about seller fees.  Most shop dollars and cents and the lowest price wins.  Glad to hear you have enough extra money that it doesn't matter.

... and, IF the plaintiffs win big settlements ... who do you think will end up paying them?

eBay?

Unless it's Dominion sized, it'll probably be pocket change to eBay.

LOL....it was so "funny"  the FBI and Justice Department sent people to prison for it.
I guess "pearl clutching" isn't in their lexicon.
But "cyberstalking" was.

Ebay already has a huge chuck set aside.  This lawsuit is not a surprise to them either.

What???  FUNNY???!?!?  I find no humor in what was done to the Steiner's and I would bet money you would be hard pressed to get them to say they say any humor in what they went through.  Cyberstalking was only a portion of what was done to them.  You might Google the subject and find out some of the horrific things that they were the target of.

Wrong poster.

@chapeau-noir 

I'm confused.  Why was my post to the wrong poster?

What?  I did no such thing!  Nor was the book sent to ME!  Wait was it sent to YOU?  So why on Earth do you care so much about petty, childish antics among individual strangers?   I mean we're not even talking about real horrors inflicted on OTHERS, no breach of ethics involving municipal water supplies or wildfires or disease spread.  Take a look around -there are countless REAL atrocities you could get outraged by.  'Death of a Loved One'?  A funeral wreath?  -I never even realized how funny that was until just now, reading your pearl-clutching about it.  I hate to ruin comedy by explaining it, but what's funny is how pathetic the antics were, and how anyone looking at the situation could get appalled by it, it's like a SNL sketch.  Seriously if you can't stand the barely-measureable heat of a television, well you know ......

Are you aware it went far beyond that?

Some things sent to them was live cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, live spiders, pornographic magazines with David's name on them sent to neighbors and more.  

Damage to their home, cyber stalking and stalking their personal vehicles so they could follow them.  And more.  This all went far beyond some pranks and struck terror into the Steiner's.

Another one leaving that I didn't even know was here.

That's because they have only been here three days. 

[mam98031]

It is likely Posting ID.

[dbfolks166mt]

It is likely Posting ID.

     Fully realize that since they have never sold or bought anything under this account. Who's to say if they have EVER bought or sold anything since we have no idea what their other account may be if they in fact have one. If this is the first they have heard of the law suit I question the fact that they have ever been here as a seller/buyer. 

[mam98031]

Who's to say the opposite?  There are so many members that post with posting IDs.  

Some people don't stay up on current events in regards to Ebay.  They don't normally participate in the Community Forums either unless they feel the need to ask a question or announce their departure for that matter.

I know you like to disagree with me, that is clear.  I don't particularly care.  You should believe whatever you need to believe.
