|
|
eBay seller Custom LED filed a lawsuit against eBay on Monday over the marketplace's Featured Plus listing upgrade, which cost the seller up to $39.95 per listing. Readers may remember that eBay removed Featured Plus from eBay.com in 2009, but the feature is still available to sellers on eBay Motors for $24.95.
According to the description of the Featured Plus listing upgrade found on the eBay Motors website today, "Your item appears in the Featured Items section at the top of the search results page (for Motors site searches)." But the plaintiff claims eBay added that parenthetical phrase "only after Plaintiff complained about Featured Plus, presumably in an attempt to alleviate part of the complaints and claims set forth herein." And the plaintiff claims the new language still does not do enough to advise sellers of the feature's limitations.
