Is that possible?..I think of real estate and specific performance.

Appears a claim could be for thousands of dollars if pursued?? Would love insight just out of curiosity.

Exactly what I was thinking. If Ebay claims it is a binding contract, you should see about suing for specific performance. Maybe see if you have a friend or acquaintance that is an attorney to at least write a letter and threaten a suit. You never know. You are clearly in the right if this is a binding contract, and you definitely have the documentation from the Ebay site. I would be sure to print/save a copy in case it were to suddenly disappear for some reason. The trick to doing something like this though is having something worth going after to begin with that can make the time and expense worthwhile. Not really worth it for a card worth a few hundred dollars or so, but a card worth several thousands.......now that may be a different story.

Also wonder, if you do go after someone for specific performance, could you also include your legal fees to force the defendant to pay for the harm they tried doing to you? That is a question for any attorneys in here.

Sorry to hear this was done to the OP. That definitely sucks.
