Who do i call, and how much might it cost to sue eBay or a member of eBay?

a few months ago i sold an item to a guy (sega genesis controllers) that worked but had damaged wires. i SAID they were broken in the item description, it is clear as crystal. he got mad and left negative feedback. i was unhappy with it so i tried to ask him what i could do to make it up to him, maybe a partial refund or etc, as i have had SEVERAL sellers offer me. He called it a bribe, reported me to ebay, claimed the controllers didn't work through a paypal dispute and won. i wanted to try and make amends, or whatever, so i offered to buy one of his items on ebay, he said do whatever you want, so i did. he then reported me as a malicious buyer with an intent to disrupt his listing REGARDLESS of me paying for the item 3 separate times after he kept giving me a refund with no explanation why. ebay suspended me 3 days for this. 2 days later ebay suspends me AGAIN on the same charge of intent to disrupt and how i am suspended ';indefinitely'; aka FOR LIFE. they said it is because someone i knew bid on one of his items and also got suspended for ';malicious bidding with the intent to disrupt'; so through association i either had 2 accounts or i had a conspiracy against this guy. after the dust settled i found that the other user is my GIRLFRIEND who acted on her OWN FREE WILL to bid on and purchase this guys item. i NEVER encouraged, promoted or in ANY way prompted her to do this. she TOO paid for the item, and because we BOTH live on the same college campus he refunded her and reported her. to ME this sounds like ebay made a HUGE assumtion and have NO proof at ALL that i had asked her to do anything of the sort. furthermore she was buying this game from this guy NOT to be malicious, but as a present for an exchange student friend of hers. his listing was for a japanese game for PS3. he had the ONLY copy in the U.S. and the CHEAPEST copy available, therefore that is why she purchased the item. eBay INSTANTLY makes a rash judgement in assuming 1)she had malicious intent 2)i was associating with her to be malicious or had encouraged her to do so. the only tie that her account and my account have is her PAYPAL account has paid for a few items i won, or i had items i won shipped to her address (and perhaps vice versa) this is such a HUGE accusation without ANY proof that i had ANYTHING to do with her bidding/buying from this guy and a even larger assumtion i told her to do it.





i admit that i was wrong in what i did, i should have just left him alone, not bid on his item. i got my 3 day suspension as my punishment, and i learned my lesson. but to be suspended INDEFINATLY for the actions of other individuals seems like a bunch of crap. thats like saying i were to slap someone in the face and get in trouble for it (battery), then ANYONE associated with me goes to the same person and raises there hand to shake his and gets charged with battery, then I GET CHARGED with a 2nd battery charge through association. total CRAP..





i want my ebay account UN-SUSPENDED, and if possible i want damages for this BULLSH!T. so, who do i turn to, and how much would it cost, and if you are a lawyer and think you can help me, how much do you think we could get out of this BS, if applicable?Who do i call, and how much might it cost to sue eBay or a member of eBay?
You want to sue a multi million dollar company because some guy gave you a negative feedback for an item that didn't work in the first place?





They have some pretty high priced lawyers on board and if you lose, you may end up paying their fees as well, probably in the $1,100 an hour range times at least 2 lawyers to handle it for them. So if you have the money to pay out probably a 1/4 million to try to get a negative removed and your account un-suspended- all you have to do is find a lawyer to take your case at $500-$600 an hour so your first hour you have $2,700 wrapped up into it and all the lawyers have done at this point is send letters to each other.





You are lucky the buyer is not suing you?





Ebay is a company and they have the right to suspend anybody.





You don't have a chance here in getting your account unsuspended under these circumstances





However, it is your right to sue, call a lawyer and ask him, he is the only one that can help you, you can't do it alone, so why not call a lawyer (most offer free consultation) and tell him or her your story and go from thereWho do i call, and how much might it cost to sue eBay or a member of eBay?
You would have to appeal to e-bay as it is their site and their rules.~
If everything you said is true sorry....but your story is a little hard to swallow. Your girlfriend just happened to bid on an item of his....come on! She just happened to come be looking for an item she wanted to buy for a foreign exchange student and he was selling a Japanese game and her friend wouldn't you know it is from there. You didn't have any conversations with her about this guy...hard to believe. Sorry, but I think you don't have a case. Hope you get it all figured out though.
