Here, you would just sue Ebay.

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?

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.

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.

Hmmm - good point.

Not sure I would agree with you, but it is a good point.

All good points.

Doesn't explain contacting email accounts though - I can't see how a
hacker would get around that unless you had the same email password as
your eBay account which doesn't seem likely.

Or maybe it is.

Well, at least that's a positive.

How did you find out about the hijacking?
