eBay, $1.44, Negative Review and Tale of Woe
Ebay Seller Who Sued Over Negative Feedback Ordered to Pay Customers' Legal Fees - ABC News

An eBay seller who sued two customers over their negative feedback online has been ordered to pay $19,250 to cover their legal fees.


This week, a judge ordered Med Express Inc., a refurbished medical equipment seller who sued back in 2013, to pay for the two Ohio lawyers who defended the case pro bono.


Med Express filed a lawsuit for libel in Medina County's Court of Common Pleas in Ohio in 2013, claiming that their feedback on eBay hurt the company's reputation and a lower overall rating increased seller costs to eBay.

Uh no . . . just because the attorneys didn't charge the client, they can still be awarded reasonable fees by the court. Otherwise, corporate clients, who pay their in house attorneys a salary, wouldn't be able to collect fees, likewise any civil legal aid counsel.
