Lost out on $1248.00 in profit due to NPB

: I am NOT applying 'medium' as a legal definition because it ISN'T. It is a term in the English language that describes Ebay's services as a company. Just like I would not apply '@$$hole' as a legal definition. Ebay states their own legalities on their website...why don't you take a visit if you want their terms and conditions?

Because YOU are the one trying to make a legal case out of claiming that eBay somehow has liability because you claim them to be a 'medium'.

You are so full of crap... I bet your eyes are brown!!

I have looked at your other posts... and find that you are so stupid, you can't even keep or get a PART-TIME, unskilled clerks job!!!

I TOLD HIM THAT EBAY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INCIDENT.

Once again, if you could READ, that would really help you to understand.

Ebay IS a medium, but they have terms and conditions that would state that THEY ARE NOT LIABLE for unpaying bidders, you freaking moron.

Good job being able to maneuver around a website, and wow...that's hilarious. Once again, you're making assumptions and really making yourself look like an ass. Making this a personal brawl is just you taking one more step past the lines into immaturity. I can't believe retards like you are senior members. You're nothing more than a tantrum-throwing, illiterate brat.

Ebay IS a medium

'Medium' is a television show you twit!!!
As stated ON ebays website:
"eBay is a Venue"
"the Site acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as "online auctions" or "auctions.""

Since you are clearly 'English-challenged', let me help you by providing a definition of medium. Which of the following do you believe applies to the relationship between ebay and a buyer/sellers obligation to each other??

medium
1. Something, such as an intermediate course of action, that occupies a position or represents a condition midway between extremes.
2. An intervening substance through which something else is transmitted or carried on.
3. An agency by which something is accomplished, conveyed, or transferred: The train was the usual medium of transportation in those days.
4. pl. media Usage Problem.
a. A means of mass communication, such as newpapers, magazines, radio, or television.
b. media (used with a sing. or pl. verb) The group of journalists and others who constitute the communications industry and profession.
5. pl. media Computer Science. An object or device, such as a disk, on which data is stored.
6. pl. mediums A person thought to have the power to communicate with the spirits of the dead or with agents of another world or dimension. Also called psychic.
7. pl. media
a. A surrounding environment in which something functions and thrives.
b. The substance in which a specific organism lives and thrives.
c. A culture medium.
8.
a. A specific kind of artistic technique or means of expression as determined by the materials used or the creative methods involved: the medium of lithography.
b. The materials used in a specific artistic technique: oils as a medium.
9. A solvent with which paint is thinned to the proper consistency.
10. Chemistry. A filtering substance, such as filter paper.
11. A size of paper, usually 18 × 23 inches or 17 1/2 × 22 inches.

but they have terms and conditions that would state that THEY ARE NOT LIABLE for unpaying bidders

I agree..... but then why did you say: "just go to Ebay. Tell them the situation, tell them that the person bid on the exact same item after they told you they wouldn't pay, and see if they can take care of this for you. They're good that way."

and
"Ebay has a department that deals with these sorts of things...they are a professional company that helps settle these sort of problems, whether it be with seller or buyer."

and
"I made a suggestion to talk to Ebay to see if they could do anything first."

Ebay has a custuomer service department. DUH. Doesn't mean they're responsible for non-paying bidders.

Medium is a word used in the English language, not just a horrible television show. Maybe you should read a few books instead of plopping yourself in front of a television/computer for hours on end? I've already posted the a topic-related definition, if you're having a hard time understanding, as well as some examples of how the word relates to my post. I wouldn't expect you to be able to comprehend it, though, seeing as how you do have some issues with illiteracy.

I think BreadLand is so confused, she can't even figure out her OWN posts...

She is getting dumber and dumber. I am the one who provided the definitions... and she thinks she did??

"It is a term in the English language that describes Ebay's services as a company."
Is that supposed to be your 'topic-related definition'??? If so, you need to go back to school because it isn't a definition at all... much less 'topic-related'.
Just when we thought you couldn't get any dumber... you prove us wrong!!

 

[BreanaLee]

And for those of you who are having problems understanding what MEDIUM means, here is a definition.

Medium - Something, such as an intermediate course of action, that occupies a position or represents a condition midway between extremes (example: Two extremes being BUYER and SELLER ). An agency by which something is accomplished, conveyed, or transferred. (Ebay is used to convey information between buyers and sellers).
By the way, I'd rather be a legal "ignoramous" than someone who can barely comprehend a simple word and/or post.

I would say that's me providing a definition, wouldn't you? JETX, you are a moron. Do not reply to anymore of my posts.

 

[JETX]

I would say that's me providing a definition, wouldn't you?

Nope. That is just another of your misapplications of a word......
It is NOT a definition at all.

JETX, you are a moron. Do not reply to anymore of my posts.

Awwww, poor baby. You sound like a 3rd grader.

Awwww, poor baby. You sound like a 3rd grader.

I provided two of the same definitions you did, as the word was in the context I was applying it.

 

[dallas702]

Actually, Ebay would be considered a "facilitator" in business terms.

My medium told me so.

As is often the case on this forum, some idiots have grabbed hold of this and dragged it far from its original course and intent.... some so far off course that THEIR posts have nothing at all to do with the thread.

So, rather than let these idiots (like 'brainless') continue... lets get back to the ORIGINAL issue (and my response back on message #8):

So, with that.... back to the OP's post.
Yes, you can sue them. And yes, you can do it in YOUR home state. Of course, they have the right to file a motion to dismiss claiming that your state does not have jurisdiction.
If they do that, you will have to fight for your state....
If you win, the trial will go forward.
If you lose, the court will order the case dismissed and you will have to refile in their state.

If they don't file a motion to dismiss, you can get a default (likely) judgment against them... and domesticate it to their state.

As to the laws of scalping in Illinois (which WOULD be the applicabl law), go to: http://online.wsj.com/public/articl...ff_main_tff_top

And another message to the OP... ignore all the braindead blatherers who clearly are NOT attorneys and have NO legal knowledge or abillity.
