What can I do?

[wcaw1786]

I sold an item for $1000. The buyer paid for shipping and opted not to purchase insurance. The Post office lost it. Ebay refunded the BUYER, and told me I had to file a claim with the USPS, whom of course denied my claim.(No insurance) Ebay then tells me I cannot appeal their decision and to add insult to injury, charged me $398.00 in fees. What can I do. This is just wrong. No money and no item. I sold something on ebay and it cost me $398.00?! Really? Looking around, I see this has happened to seasoned sellers as well as new sellers alike. If we file a class action law suit, will they boot us off Ebay?

@wcaw1786 ,

You can't just file a class action law suit from the start. You need to file a law suit against a defendant and your lawyer has to petition the judge assigned to the case to certify all others with similar circumstances as a class. 

If the judge doesn't agree and doesn't certify the class you can't have a class action law suit. 

If you feel strongly about this my suggestion would be to google about 3 or 4 litigation attorneys in your area and schedule a consultation. Most lawyers will give you a free half hour consultation to let you if they think you have a case or not.  

Please come back and let us know what you find out.
