Horror Story #3 – Authentic Items, Vintage Collectibles… Still Sued

In this shocking example, multiple eBay sellers share their personal stories of being targeted in a Schedule A Defendant (SAD) lawsuit — despite selling authentic, original items, many of which were vintage, personal collectibles, or legally acquired products.

From Hong Kong to the UK, sellers woke up to find their PayPal and eBay accounts frozen without notice, simply because they were included on a bulk lawsuit filed in the U.S. These lawsuits often stem from a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued by a judge in Illinois, allowing law firms to immediately freeze funds without giving sellers a chance to defend themselves first.

One seller was offering vintage Godzilla soft vinyl kits, clearly authentic, personal items. Another was suspended simply for selling a product made by a UK company that had no connection to the plaintiff. The law firm still demanded $8,000 to drop the case.

📌 And the kicker?
Some sellers never even sold an item to the U.S. — but were included in the lawsuit anyway.

These messages prove what we've been saying all along:

• Even legitimate sellers are at risk.

• These lawsuits are about scaring you into paying.

• They count on default judgments when you fail to respond.

• The settlement "offers" are rarely reasonable.
