I believe that there was another posting which suggested it as a route
to go since the eBay agreement led to binding arbitration rather than
a law suit.

I understand *why* Elric doesn't like them, and it is a valid reason. I
don't see how his reasons justify his going on a witchhunt against them
for every tiny flaw he finds.  (IMO, he should stick to the main problem
he has and it will lend more credibility to his arguement.)  IIRC, Elric's
problem has to do with eBay having a secret list (or no list at all) of
additional banned items (fully legal scanners is one such item which 
comes to mind, but if they pick up cellular frequencies, even if they are
fully legal as is, and you mention it,   Whack!, it's a shut down auction.)


>eBay is a private company and can set whatever policies they want.

The problem comes when they set forth one policy in writing, and then
change the rules in the middle of the game, no notice, no written change
in policy... just the "You are now on double super secret probation" for
violating policy...  and no indication of what they policy was or is.

However, going to the friggin AG because eBay had a major system
problem?  That's comparable in my mind to suing Safeway because they
closed one of their stores for a few days because one of their freezer 
cases set the lint collecting underneath on fire and caused some 
considerable damage to the store.
