When it comes to suing eBay you must know that you are setting yourself up for a long travel. BUT the long travel is worth the time and effort because you are SEEKING JUSTICE. Before you file a suit you need to recognize your intentions.
Are you suing over principal?
Are you suing to get rich quick?
Are you suing to prove a point and make your voice heard?
Are you suing to be reimbursed for damages?
People file suits for all different reasons, but if your main intention is to “get rich Quick” or “come out ahead”, you’re all ready making a mistake.
A lawsuit is not designed to put you ahead. A lawsuit is designed to “make you whole”, to pay you the monies you have lost or will lose in the future due to wrong doing by a business or individual.
From personal experience, I can tell you that many times you can win large sums of money and never see a single penny of it. Although this is unfair to you, you must take into account that you have still made an impact and justice has been somewhat indirectly served. If you file a suit against a company that forces them to change their policies and ultimately helps other people, you have still won in the long run, although maybe not in a financial aspect.
When suing eBay you need to have reason and proof to back up your reason. One of the biggest mistakes is that people don’t take the time to read and investigate. I can not tell you the number of emails I have gotten from people telling me that eBay unjustly suspended them. I ask these people to forward me screenshots of the listing they received the suspension over and within 30 seconds I find things that outright violate eBay policy. When I respond to the individual they say “Oh! I never read the rules. Sorry!”
If you have a problem, you must research first. Take time and go through the eBay help section looking for policies that related to your suspension. After you have done your research and can PROVE that you were FALSELY suspended THEN you have your case.
If you can not prove anything, you have no case at all and you need to call it a loss and move on with life.

WHAT YOU CANT SUE EBAY OVER
1. Your stupidity
a. If you purchase an item that is accurately described and you chose not to read the description, it’s your own fault.
2. Counterfeit items purchased. Unfortunately, if you win a counterfeit item, you will have to file disputes through Pay Pal. You will need to prove your item is indeed counterfeit. Generally you’ll be refunded. If you’re not refunded, you may have a case. DO NOT SHIP YOUR ITEM TO PAY PAL TEXAS ADDRESS, this is currently being investigated.
3. Bad feedback
4. Harassment from other sellers. Before you move to file a case, you have other avenues. Read about “Cease and Desist”
5. Loss of income due to pulled listings that violated eBay policy
6. And more
