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. |

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.

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. 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. Well, at least that's a positive. How did you find out about the hijacking? |
