eBay Agrees To Multimillion $ Settlement For PayPal Users '99 to '04
EBay Agrees To Settle PayPal Lawsuit
EBay Inc., the world's largest online auctioneer, agreed to pay $9.25 million to settle a 2002 class-action lawsuit by customers who alleged its PayPal e-mail payment service ignored complaints or didn't respond to inquiries in a timely fashion.
EBay, which bought PayPal after the lawsuit was filed, set aside funds last year to pay for a settlement, the San Jose, Calif.-based company said in a statement.
The settlement covers PayPal users who had accounts between Oct. 1, 1999, and Jan. 31, 2004, PayPal spokeswoman Amanda Pires said. She said it is unknown how many people are eligible for the payout, which will vary.
