Attorney Sues eBay over Negative Feedback

Posted by michael on from the thin-skinned dept.

Mephie writes "MSNBC is running a story on an attorney who is suing ebay over negative feedback a seller left about him. It sounds like a classic case of buyer leaves negative feedback for seller; seller responds accordingly. The plaintiff claims he'd not be filing the suit if he didn't feel ebay's policy needs revision, stating 'They can control content and for them to fail to do so is unconscionable.' Yeah. That's great."

    I totally agree. I wasnt upset at the shipping cost. However, he claimed to have actually had the package weighed and metered before shipping. So when it arried at 10 dollars less than his supposed quote from the shipper, that is when I got steamed.

    In the end though I just didnt leave any feedback. He was upset that it took so long to get payment and I was upset that he gouged me. In the end it's easier just not to bid and buy from that person again, no?
