eBay Featured Plus Class Action Settlement

Consumers who paid $39.95 for eBay's Featured Plus service from Jan 23, 2008 to Feb 4, 2013 can claim into the eBay Featured Plus Class Action Settlement on ebayfeaturedplusclassaction.com to get cash refund.

EBay has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over claims that the company did not list Featured Plus! items on the top of search pages. Those people who used eBay’s Featured Plus service during the time period of Jan 23, 2008 to Feb 4, 2013 to upgrade their listed item(s), can claim a refund from the eBay Featured Plus Class Action Settlement. The company agreed to pay a $4.75 million to resolve the litigation.

eBay Featured Plus class action lawsuit Settlement

Plaintiffs filed the lawsuit against eBay in the United States District Court. Plaintiffs claimed that they paid $39.95 for eBay's Featured Plus service that shows ads of subscribers on the top of the search page, but this service was non-functional much of the time. The company continued to promote the service and charged users for it even after the service stopped working completely.

The company will pay $4.75 million settlement fund in two time periods: Class Members who paid for the service between January 23, 2008 and September 28, 2009 as well as Class Members who paid after September 28, 2009. Class Members who paid during Time Period 1 will get 1.8% of what they paid for the service, while Class Members who paid during Time Period 2 will get 16% of what they paid.
