    Ebay’s response: “This is unprecedented!”; not “This is a lie!”, or “We’re not guilty!”.

    If your best response is that the EPA hasn’t prosecuted you this large before, then you must be super guilty.

      I hope the case results in the list of people who bought these things being forwarded to their states’ authorities.

          And where these are most popular, the police would choose not to do anything anyway.

          Truth. I’ve been trying to get my suit in small claims court scheduled for months now. All I can do it wait for the court to have availability.

        Lol bootlicker. I don’t agree with their purchases by anymeans but fuck snitching to the government , an arguably more corrupt system than private sector ecommerce

      eBay has always sold shady stuff. They only stop when they get lots of pressure about a certain thing they’re allowing. I used to buy $5 Windows 10 keys on there but they haven’t sold them recently.

      For me, “this is unprecedented!” sounds more like “how dare they accusing us of any wrongdoing!”
