Just so you know, a person reputation is Constitutionally protected liberty interest. The day you take away a persons right to sue for this type of defamation, is the day our country falls apart. Whether the suits seem fruitless is between the persons involved and the court.

If he succeeded and there was a way to remove defamatory feedback from ebay without a huge hassle because of the law suit, I am sure everyone would take advantage of it eventually. So would it seem so ridiculous then?

Also, the McDonalds lady with the coffee. Most people don't know that McDonalds (that particular one) was repeatedly warned that their coffee was WAY to hot to meet health code standards and they ignored it every time. Not only did the lady receive 2nd degree burns to her genetal area, her damages were also reduced to the point where they barely covered her medical costs. But they don't publish or report on that in the evening news because then they would have to take back everything they had said about how messed up our legal system is.
