Class Action Against eBay

Suit alleges deceptive auction practices

August 22, 2007 

"eBay has been deceiving millions of consumers over the years by claiming their auctions start when submitted, when in reality they do not begin for at least several hours, and up to 24 hours," said attorney John Fabry.

"However, the clock starts running on your selected auction time even though eBay hasn't posted it yet."

The suit focuses on violations of various provisions of California statutes intended to protect consumers, as well as common law.

The suit seeks injunctive relief and damages for the customers who make up the class. It is estimated that there are millions of eBay consumers that have been affected by eBay's course of conduct.
