  Ebay has been ordered to pay a $55.7m settlement to an American couple over a harassment campaign by company executives which included doxing, online threats and the delivery of live cockroaches to their home. The orchestrated campaign, which lasted for two months in the summer of 2019, was waged against husband and wife David and Ina Steiner by six eBay employees and one contractor. The couple were targeted after posting criticism of eBay’s corporate and policy changes on their newsletter and website EcommerceBytes, which is popular among eBay sellers, Wired reported. The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a ******* party, a ********* and a yard sale with their home address. After the police were contacted, the harassment campaign tailed off as those involved sought to conceal their actions. Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig told Wired via a representative that he was “saddened” by the harassment. He has continually asserted that he had no knowledge of the specific actions taken by the group who carried out the campaign. Wenig is alleged to have given former eBay chief communications officer Steve Wymer the order to “take her down,” in reference to Ina Steiner. However, his lawyers claim he was referring to a communications plan and not any criminal behaviour, a claim supported by court documents according to Wired. Six former eBay staff and a contractor were charged with taking part in the campaign in 2020. The Steiners followed with a civil suit the following year. The case has now reached a final settlement which will award the Steiners more than $46.15m from eBay, $2m from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer. David Steiner told Wired: “We were really adamant that this type of behaviour by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.” In a published statement, eBay said that what the Steiners were subjected to was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” and that the company had strengthened its policies, controls and training since the incident.

  I have to reiterate I sold 10,000 magic cards with literally zero problems on tcgplayer and eBay. I sold 7 pokemon cards and half of the transactions had complaints trying to get discounts or the card for free. It’s amazing. The card buying community on Pokemon is **** high key. I dont know what else to say. Also every local trade ended up Having a scammer trying to grift some fake product. The magic I sold. Zero issues locally. I don’t know what to say about this or what valuable insights you can get from this.

  @TCG_AZ Honestly it feels like they have one crew, one day they work on ebay authentication, one day they work on research and id, one day on grading and so on. It’s just not working, whatever they are doing.

  @eBay @ebay I ran out of space,. I get most of my orders from Amazon now even though I purchased through eBay. The orders are usually wrong or delivered somewhere else. @FedEx has worse issues, their drivers can't read. I just as well use Amazon

  EBay, former executives to pay $56 million to couple sent cockroaches in harassment campaign EBay and three former top executives have agreed to pay $55.7 million to resolve a lawsuit by a Massachusetts couple who fell victim to a bizarre stalking and harassment campaign carried out by several of its employees in retaliation for their coverage of the e-commerce company in a newsletter they publish. David and Ina Steiner announced the settlement late on Monday, bringing an end to a case they filed in 2021 in Boston federal court after several former eBay employees were prosecuted for targeting them in a cyber-stalking campaign that involved sending the couple cockroaches, fly larvae and a bloody Halloween pig mask. As part of the settlement, eBay agreed to pay $46.15 million to the couple; fund $6 million in charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations; and issue a “strongly-worded” statement about the conduct of three of its top former executives. “We believe this resolution sends a clear message that corporations and their executives cannot engage in this type of misconduct without facing significant consequences,” Christopher Murphy, the Steiners’ attorney, said in a statement. EBay said in a statement that what happened to the Steiners was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened.”

  @darrenrovell @ebay hasn’t addressed the rural zip code issue—ideally I can offer one rate to everyone but up charge when USPS up charges me as a package going even a short distance to rural area is about $2 more than shipping it across the country to an urban area

  @nintendo_chall @AronOzmeir @Reggie Soooo what's you actual issue? Nintendo doesn't see a penny whether the gamer buys from eBay or the company that makes the M64. What's the problem? Free market. Legal.

  HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has successfully recovered over £104.3 million in unpaid taxes from landlords in the 2025/26 tax year alone by utilizing targeted "nudge letters". Data obtained by accountancy firm Price Bailey reveals that this marks the third consecutive year that receipts from these prompts have exceeded £100 million, nearly tripling the £36.8 million collected in 2019/20. What Are Nudge Letters? Informal Prompts: Officially called "One-to-Many" letters, these are behavioral science-backed notifications rather than formal tax audits. Pre-emptive Warnings: They alert targeted groups that HMRC has spotted data discrepancies, urging recipients to review and voluntarily correct their tax filings. Cost-Effective Compliance: They shift the administrative burden upstream, forcing taxpayers to check their own records instead of tying up tax officers in complex investigations. Core Targets of the Crackdown: HMRC cross-references data using its sophisticated "Connect" AI system alongside global financial data networks. The primary focal areas include: Landlords: Over 11,511 voluntary disclosures were made via the Let Property Campaign in 2025/26 using Land Registry matching. Crypto Investors: More than 65,000 nudge letters were issued to cryptocurrency traders after HMRC cross-checked transactions from digital asset exchanges. Online Marketplace Sellers: People selling high volumes on platforms like eBay, Vinted, Etsy, and Airbnb are closely monitored. Offshore Wealth Assets: UK residents flagged in international data leaks, such as the Pandora Papers, are heavily targeted. Common Mistakes Being Uncovered: Many disclosures come from "accidental landlords" or hobbyists who genuinely did not realize they owed tax. Frequent errors include: Confusing property repairs (deductible) with capital improvements (non-deductible). Misunderstanding the restriction on mortgage interest deductions, which was replaced by a 20% tax credit. Falling over the taxable thresholds for casual side-hustles and online storefronts.

  @girdley I found the one I wanted on eBay. Took the spec sheet and sent it to three dealers on eBay that were close to the person listing and had all 4 quote me. Took the lowest quote to local dealer and said I will pay transfer fee and shipping. Here is 20K down.
