Noticed this item...

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?- Hide quoted

Well, for one thing, they hijacked an individual's page. Then if you
read Ebay's disclaimers you'll see that they ask you to you OnGuard
Online to protect yourself. Then, it's been proven in courts from
other's trying to sue them that they are nothing more than a
"marketplace that links buyers and sellers". The fact is that the
buyer is responsible for their actions. They can choose not to deal
with a seller or not.


What is OnGuard Online?
