Former eBay executives and security employees orchestrated a targeted cyberstalking and harassment campaign against Ina and David Steiner, a Massachusetts couple who published the newsletter EcommerceBytes. The campaign was initiated following critical coverage of eBay on the newsletter’s blog. The harassment included online threats, physical surveillance, and disturbing deliveries sent to the couple’s home. The investigation led to federal criminal charges, convictions, and prison sentences for several former eBay personnel, alongside severe corporate fines and civil legal actions.

The same thing is happening to me. I have been selling on ebay since 2002. Stalked, dead animals in driveway and in mailbox, a tongue on the porch, satanic symbols, garbage and dirty diapers dumped, cats stolen and killed, stalkers, psychological attacks, thefts, vandalism, people set up to buy items then they were stolen from Our inventory., Dead animals and vile sexual material in the mailbox. I am a senior citizen too. How were you able to obtain an attorney? I have not been successful they have been blocked not call back. I appreciate that you did not taking the gag order. This needs to be exposed. I recently filed multiple complaints with eBay customer support in harassing our 501c3 cat non profit. We went from top rated seller to below standard as a result of ebay policies and procedures supporting fake buyers.. The local Sheriff appears to be involved in covering it up.
