How about the sellers account was hijacked because he fell for a phishing
scam. Or downloaded a virus that collected his ebay id and password. Ebay
will probably have logs that show that someone provided a good id and
password. It's not ebay's responsibility or capability to know that the
person using the id and password is really the correct person.

Our ebay account got hijacked. Ebay found it very quickly and disabled it.
I never figured out how it was hijacked because we're pretty good about
recognizing the phishing stuff. After I go it turned back on I got the $5
verisign token for it and paypal.

Here, you would just sue Ebay.

Bull****.

I'd say he's got one hell of a case. eBay is responsible for their
servers - they they were hacked, they are responsible.

Nope, not necessarily.

Ok, just for the sake of discussion, what's the caveat?
