eBay Sellers Will Have Day in Court over PayPal Monopoly Claim

Does eBay monopolize payments through its PayPal unit? Sellers filed a class action lawsuit claiming it does. Courthouse News reports that a judge rejected eBay's motion to dismiss the lawsuit in an unpublished order Tuesday. The report appears to be referring to the Smith v eBay lawsuit filed in April 2010 in which eBay seller Charlotte Smith sued eBay over its policy that forces sellers to use its PayPal online payment service.
