eBay Inc is a multinational ecommerce company that was founded in 1995, with its headquarters in California, USA. The company specializes in peer to peer, and retail sales, through an online marketplace that is available in about 190 regions worldwide. eBay utilizes a sealed bid system between sellers and buyers.
According to recent reports, eBay has agreed to a $3 million USD fine for a harassment charge that was filed against the company in years long court battle. The report further mentions that some executives at eBay sent spiders and cockroaches to bloggers that published newsletter that the company did not agree with.
This harassment led to the arrest of some staff members at the company, as the bloggers were reportedly physically, emotionally, and psychologically affected. eBay fired the employees involved in this attack, with one of the culprits supposedly facing up to 5 years behind bars.
