An eBay buyer, Michael Steadman, who purchased a employee time clock for US$44 is being sued for leaving a negative feedback for his seller, Elliot Miller, whom he accused of "having the ethic of a car salesman". The clock, according to Steadman, arrived in pieces in three separate shipments.
Elliot Miller is seeking damages to the tune of US$15,000 for having his 100% eBay rating and reputation ruined because of this and claims that he is selling the clock "as is".
Steadman had already filed a claim and has received his US$44 back but still, he thought that a negative feedback would alert other buyers of the tactics of this seller. Which is normally the right thing to do but in a more refined way.
So happens that Miller is a lawyer himself and he will be incurring almost zero cost taking Steadman to court. Meanwhile, Steadman has already spent US$7000 in legal fees and he says that he may lose the case because he doesn't have enough ammunition to fight on. I think it's a shame.
