Seller Sues eBay for Alleged ‘Buyer Always Wins’ Policy

An eBay seller filed a class-action lawsuit against eBay and PayPal for, among other things, breach of contract and unfair business practices, alleging that eBay has created a "buyer always wins" policy to the detriment of sellers, and touching upon several eBay and PayPal practices that are commonly criticized by sellers. The lawsuit alleges eBay fails to refund 100 percent of sellers’ fees when a transaction isn't completed, and alleges that PayPal deprives sellers access to their money by placing 21-day holds and reserves on sellers’ funds.
