  1. Please keep us informed when eBay sets up this independent overseer. I would like to contact them on eBay’s abuse of people who criticized them on their own forums.

  2. It amazes me that a collection of highly skilled, supposedly highly intelligent people, would ever think that this behaviour was even remotely acceptable. When I first read about this it sounded like something out of a novel about some dystopian society. The fact that anyone involved in it escaped prison time is a grave injustice and I wish you much success in your civil trial against the company. Obviously it means seller fees will be going up, because I doubt that their insurance will cover damages caused by criminal acts of the company, and we all know that costs always trickle down to the consumer. But hopefully you’ll own Ebay after your civil trial. That would be the only proper remedy for what the put you through in my opinion. Keep up the good fight!

  3. Somehow, none of this seems enough. I can’t even imagine going through what the Steiner’s went through over the course of a year, all because they reported truthfully on eBay’s goings-on. I realize that it’s the maximum penalty allowed, but the follow-up should be more intense, in my humble opinion.

  4. Ina and David, this is such extremely welcome news. I truly hope you can put all this in the rearview mirror, and relax at this point. I’m sure everyone reading this outcome will be shaking fists in the air and yelling “YES!!!”

  5. Ina and David,
    I believe that more people should have gone to Jail. Where is the penalty going to?

  6. Pretty sure alot of us will be extremely happy when you guys are our new Boss

    Question is when the check for 1 Billion comes are you going to get a well deserved retirement?
