file a class action lawsuit against ebay and paypal

ebay ruin my life

I am still stuck with eBay/Pay pal until my last two transactions are done and they suspended my old account with 100% feedback positive for over 1 year and then told me they would release my account as there were not enough evidence that I suspected as a spammer ….what no Im sorry and here is what I’m gonna do for you !!! and could not total my new account feedback with the old account after being told but TOM a customer Supervisor That I could.after he kidded me that I wont be charged $10,000 for the help he is offering me to open my account…. why was he cracking jokes at a very serious problem and I was falsely accused and my account suspended for nothing now every transaction I have to offer extras to make sure I get my money this is wrong and unethical they cost me a years wages and suffering being tagged as a spammer!

I opened an account with Ebay about a month ago and sold some merchandise using dropshipping. They then requested I send them a copy of my drivers license and proof of residence along with invoices from the suppliers. Unfortunately the supplier only provided email confirmation so I faxed those to EBay. They then told me my account would remain limited and I would only be allowed to buy on Ebay and according to their policy I was not entitled to an explanation. Although I’m not a lawyer I know well enough that if you’re going to terminate someone’s priviledges then they’re entitled to at least a reasonable explanation short of a due process hearing. In my opinion EBay has gotten a little too big for it’s britches. They have forgotten the Golden Rule. Treat others as you would want to be treated. Fortunately with free market there are other auction sites I’m starting to use, but if you can drive a Mercedes why drive a Cadillac? In a span of a few weeks I had received 12 positive ratings on EBay and not one negative. EBay’s Gestapo tactics have got to end or they will eventually find themselves on the short end of business and that will mean they’re out of business and I for one will stand on the sidelines and say they got what they deserved. At this point I don’t have any significant financial loss that would warrant any major legal action, but I do want to toss my hat into the ring because I know I’m not the only one whose been treated this way. If enough of us band together maybe we’ll get EBay’s attention or at least allow the public to become more aware and eventually put them out of business.

I found a dependable supplier and a couple of items that I was able to sell quickly on ebay. Paypal put a hold on the money that was received for the items, and gave me options to verify that I did actually purchase and ship these items. That was annoying, but understandable, to cover their butts and prevent crime.
Ebay, however, shut down my ebay account and sent an email to all of the people who bought from me, warning them of fraudulent activity in my account. Of course at the same time they wanted $300 for ebay fees, because the items sold. I paid the $300, thinking it was an automated response for ebay to contact buyers if the fees weren’t paid on the items they purchased (because my paypal account had a hold and the amount was rejected for payment). The hold wasn’t released by paying them. I’ve been trying for 3 days to get a response from ebay on why my account was suspended, and how I fix it. I can only guess it was the sudden burst of activity that sent up red flags. I was lucky enough to finally find something I could sell easily, and now on top of paying ebay and paypal fees for money I haven’t had access to, yet, i’ve got people wanting refunds because they’re scared they’re being ripped off!! Plus, some of the people wanting refunds, already have their items enroute to them. I seriously doubt they plan to ship them back, but I can’t refuse to refund the money that’s still on a paypal hold. How do you get away with pretty much announcing to someone’s customers that they’re getting ripped off by the seller, with NO proof, and NO verification of the allegations, and walk away from it with NO repurcussions? If anyone wants a lawsuit, please COUNT ME IN!! It’s time someone cost them a little time, money, and stress!

Recently paypal has startin to take 3 % out of all my transaction(on top of the 2.5% service fee they charge) as what they so called minimium/rolling reserve account. In the 3 month period they have taken out almost $ 10,000 from our of our sales. I’m getting tired of them, any one out there wants to file a class action lawsuit, please count me in.

doest any one have the name and the contact info for the attorney that will take this class action lawsuit

I think its about time someone did something about these crooks. They are a “Criminal” empire and should be taken down immediately. I really dont know how in the world are they are able to get away with treating people the way they do. Its simply unbelievable. At any rate, if anyone starts the Class Action, count me in, I would really LOVE TO see them go down in flames!!

There are so many things that ebay does that I know are illegal but nobody has the nerve to come up against them. I have been kicked off due to s/h star lower than top block 4 instead of 5. If I put my s/h costs within the ad and someone buy’s the item then how in the hell can they legally rate me on my s/h which they new before they even bid. Ebay does this so that we will not add a s/h because they cannot get a cut of that money. They tell you to offer free s/h. How can I ship for free???????????
If I mail out my item and charge a 2 dollar handling fee for my time, tape, boxes , thank you cards etc….then the buyer rates me and just puts a four instead of a five you get kicked off. Ebay actually added a corner of the star for me to be able to sell. How did they do that??? My five star was down to four and they just added a corner to the star and said offer free shipping and it will come up. I CAN’T OFFER FREE SHIPPING….IF I BUILD THE S/H INTO MY ITEM COST THEN EBAY GETS A PERCENTAGE AND I LOOSE MONEY ON SHIPPING….IT IS ALL SO THAT THEY GET MORE MONEY. A ONE WAY FEEDBACK IS WRONG…WHY DOES NOT PAY PAL AND EBAY GET RID OF IT ALL TOGETHER AND IF A DEAL GOES WRONG THEY BACK THE DEAL AS THE AUCTIONEER AND DO THEIR JOB…NO, THE SELLER TAKES ALL THE RESPONSIBILTY AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN AUCTION.
CAVIAT EMPTOR MEANS BUYER BE WARE….I TAKE OFFENSE THAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES AN AUCTION AND THEN LET COMPETETIVE COMPANIES ADVERTISE ON EBAY PAGES WHICH IS COMPATITION TO THE SELLER BUT THEY DID NOT LOWER THE FEES FOR THE SELLER DUE TO HAVING SPONSERS THEY ACTUALLY RAISED THEM. THEY HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED…......MANY MORE COMPLAINTS BUT NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO EVEN BEGIN ON THE PROBLEMS WITH EBAY AND PAY PAL

i put a jersey on ebay..they removed it saying it was a trademark infringment…i called them and was told to just make sure i took my own pictures…i said o.k….i put the jerset back on and they removed it again..saying the same thing…i called this time and was told by a supervisor , that i just needed to take pictures of all the tags on it and it would be fine…guess what , i put it back on and my selling has a restriction on it for seven days…i called back and was told by an employee that the jersey is fake..i told them a supervisor told me how to relist the item,and i did what she told me to and they still refuse to lift the restriction on my account!! what a crock of crap….i done what the supervisor told me and still was punished!!! guess what THERE ARE STILL JERSEYS LIKE THIS BEING SOLD…

Without getting into too much detail, ebay has failed to uphold their contract with me (a seller). I am looking into similar cases and would like to be contacted to discuss this further. I have been selling on ebay for five years and have 100% possitive feedback.
