There are some awful degenerates out there…I hope FBI tracks down every source. God bless you and keep you.
Ebay has done a lot of shady evil things to me over the years.
eBay does several illegal things NOW. I’ve been selling there for years. They are garbage…theives and liars. I could expound…..
$56 Million is light compared to what the couple endured. When I watched this years ago my thinking was a settlement in the $100s of millions. CEO Devin Wenig texted a communications executive "If you are ever going to take her down… now is the time." How is this guy not behind bars? Hoping this is not the final blow to eBay but just the beginning of a series of punishments.
That’s crazy they have full evidence of eBay’s ceo saying they should turn an innocent couple to ashes and no one arrests them because they have money.
EBay is a cesspool of sellers
cant wait til the ceo/cco goes on joe rogan to explain this.
Unconscionable behavior and eBay owes them some very big settlement. And the perpetrators did not get enough time in prison and the home incarceration, forget about it, that's ridiculous, she should have been in jail. Staying home for a year is no kind of punishment for a terrorist stalker harasser that was harmful behavior and staying at home for a year is just not sufficient punishment.
JUST learned about this yesterday! Glad they won the lawsuit. Also deleted my ebay account after using it for 15-20 years. Don't want anything to do with these tools.

Thank You 🙏 ❤.
Shocking to see women among them, how evil, imagine if they were stalked like that. Justice was not served but I hope karma does its thing
$57M to retire as a bully – this is an American joke! I’ll never use eBay.
I have been a buyer and a seller on ebay for years. THAT ENDS TODAY!
Isn't it interesting, that most of us never heard about this, until now? I'll be removing my listings, on ebay, today. This is not a company I want to do business with.
Why is ebay still in operation? How many other's have they harmed?
cops protecting th ceo s
Wow!!! What are they the mafia!!! Disgusting!!
I used to sell and buy on eBay but I stopped a while ago because they took most of the money!!! It wasn’t worth it to sell on there any more.
Now imagine what companies such as Palantir and Blackrock do behind the scenes who aren't dumb enough to leave a paper trail behind…
What a bunch of psychopaths!
Outrageous
This is known as gangstalking and it pure evil
"Loose talk" like that is used perhaps INSTEAD of "I am going to use all the corporate power at my fingertips to destroy that nice middle-aged couple for telling the truth." This lawyer should call this the "Locker Room Talk" defense. Worked a treat.
Conspiracy to conduct a program of terrorism.
Young people are vicious
Young people are vicious now
as a former ebay seller, i can say they could have been better than Amazon but the leadership there doesn't want to hear from you
Senior people in companies do NOT say "I want to see ashes" all the time. What an absurd thing to claim.
A huge company like eBay not being able to take some constructive criticism is INSANE. Imagine having this much time and energy on your hands.
CEO exits unscathed with 58 million and a few people underneath him bear the brunt of the justice dept.
Same as it ever was.
A Doctor should document EVERYTHING!
Where these guys at
I work for all forms of payment tax free
From back when 60 Minutes had a moral compass and a spine
Yes it is the same it’s just they have great lawyers.
They won the lottery! Glad it worked out!
Runs the Boys and Girls Club and the CEO left with 57 million dollar package. I guess it pays to be a criminal in America.
So the Board Members escape any prosecution. "I want to see ashes" is just fun corporate banter, not a real threat apparently. Disgusting.
I would like to see a story as to why eBay’s sellers fees systematically went from 10% to now 1/3 of the earnings.
So disappointed in Ebay. I have shopped with them for years. I can’t in good conscience give them my business anymore. Shame that a few destroyed it for everyone, but that’s what toxic people do. Goodbye Ebay.
The CEOs always get away with it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yet the President targets people without any ramifications.
