Re: Selective Discrimination Class Action?
This really is not a case of discrimination, but of of selective ENFORCEMENT of their rules.
Your argument would be that it is unfair that eBay removes some listings but allows others to sell them when the item is the same. eBay is not under any obligation to "be fair" in the enforcement of their rules. They would just say they cannot catch everything and that they do the best they can to remove all listings that violate their rules. Even if you could find a case where eBay specifically allowed something, eBay would just say they employ thousands of people and that two different representatives looking at the same thing can mistakenly come to different conclusions.
That is not illegal.
Now, if you could prove that eBay was removing black (or Jewish, or Asian, or whatever) people's listings and letting white people sell the same things, then you might have a case.
Yes, it sucks. Your money has been stopped and other sellers are happily making sales and it upsets you. I have been there, so I understand. But you are not going anywhere with this lawsuit idea. It might make you feel a little bit better, but the best thing to do is to move on to the next account. Because THAT will make you some money. Putting time and energy into trying to force eBay to change the way they do business would be like hitting your head repeatedly against a slab of concrete.
