eBay Agrees $56 Million Settlement Over Harassment Campaign. eBay has agreed to pay 56 million dollars to bloggers David and Ina Steiner to settle a lawsuit over a campaign of harassment carried out by former company executives after the couple criticised the company online. The Steiners, who ran the website EcommerceBytes, were targeted in 2019 with threatening deliveries, abusive messages and repeated intimidation. Former executives sent a funeral wreath, a mask covered in pig's blood and a book about coping with the death of a spouse. They also travelled to the couple's home in an attempt to install a tracking device on their car. Seven former executives later pleaded guilty to criminal charges while eBay separately agreed to pay a 3 million dollar fine as part of a deferred prosecution agreement with US authorities.
