🎯 Horror Story #4: Sued for Earrings She Never Even Sold
This seller was just trying to offload a few inexpensive earrings she bought on AliExpress — cat-shaped accessories she paid less than $1 per pair for. She didn’t even sell a single pair. That’s right: zero sales, zero profit… yet she was still named in a U.S. trademark lawsuit.
eBay took down her listing and later emailed her to say a lawsuit had been filed. The kicker? The email included no personal details identifying her, just a generic warning that failing to respond could result in permanently losing access to her account.
She did nothing wrong, made no sales, and still got dragged into court — just for having an old listing. That’s the reality of these abusive Schedule A Defendant lawsuits.
⚠️ The message from eBay warned:
"If you ignore this matter, the court may rule that you have forfeited your legal defense and may force eBay to permanently disable your account."
She now faces a nightmare of confusing court documents, threats of default judgment, and the real risk of losing her entire eBay presence — all for a product she never even sold.
