eBay hit with $3M fine, admits to “terrorizing innocent people”

eBay must pay maximum fine for putting Massachusetts couple “through pure hell.”

eBay’s harassment campaign against the couple, David and Ina Steiner, stretched for 18 days in August 2019 and was led by the company’s former senior director of safety and security, Jim Baugh. It started when then-CEO Devin Wenig and then-chief communications officer Steven Wymer decided to “take down” the Steiners after growing frustrated with their coverage of eBay in a newsletter called EcommerceBytes.

  It may have been a “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” kind of deal.
