right so an example already from just 3 months ago....yeah 'good luck going after ebay' maybe that's with phone calls or messages....but lawsuits are a different animal. Its easy enough to find someone to sue ebay and if they have merit...ie. PSA contacting them prior to the sale telling them they are fake' you would think that's enough merit to find attorneys who if successful can collect thousands if not millions in fees.... just a wild guess..
heres a case of a getting 1.2 million over a $36 dollar listing....good luck going after ebay...
