eBay falsely suspended my account for selling a legit item. Can I file a civil suit against this nasty dinosaur? They seem to be abiding by their in-house rules when, in reality, a government entity should be regulating their A**! let me know. thx
+1,If you can afford it. Go for it. F ebay.
They got a A+ rating over at the BBB, so that means they probably (at the very least) reply to complaints fairly quickly. I'm not saying you'll get what you want, but at least it's a place to start and possibly get in contact with someone over there that might be able to resolve this for you.

the BBB is complete bullshit. they call my company once every 2-3 months trying to get us to pay to be on there website, sign up for memberships of this and that, etc etc.
one upon a time my company joined that membership, it bounced from a B rating to A instantly just from signing up. looking into it, many companies will have poor ratings, they join the "group" and magically bounce to A+. its all just a bullshit money maker.
do you have a good lawyer? or....can you afford a good lawyer and a drawn out lawsuit?

Give them a temporary number and a disposable email, so they won't hassle you with this crap. Meanwhile you will have filed the complaint. If you round up a bunch of fellow grumblers (maybe start a FB or twitter group for this) you could set up a "complaint bomb" or boycott bomb where thousands of like minded souls file similar complaints the same day.
Advertise this to eBay Sucks type sites to help build your movement. THEN follow-up with a lawyer sending a scare letter, saying you are organized and can do the same thing to them anytime you please. If you still want to sue after all that (or eBay won't back down), use your group or followers to set up a class action suit.
