[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1941374, member: 15929"]Did you read the story beyond the headline? Here's what I saw: "In one of the first cases of its kind in Australia, an eBay seller running a business called "Achilles Archery & Outdoors" sued a West Australian man over a negative review he posted on the auction website, [B][I]as well as five posts on a separate forum[/I][/B] in which the buyer discussed products he had bought from the business." Negative Feedback is all a part of doing business "on eBay" but when that negativity gets carried over to a public forum where the eBay sellers business could be affected, certain lines get crossed. The owner of Accugrade Grading Service has a similar lawsuit filed based upon the publically posted "negative opinions" of Accugrade graded coins. Citing such things as fraud, over grading, preferential grading and such will definitely spark the interest of a companies attorney. In other words, its not JUST eBay negative posts as much as it is with what these disgruntled buyers do "after" the negative has been left in an attempt to discredit the eBay seller. Of course, that's just my opinion.[/QUOTE]
