Is that the end of the series, of is there another 'episode?'
Unfortunately this one seems to be stuck in development hell - maybe there was a writer's strike. 
What the OP doesn't seem to be aware of, is that there are likely many sellers here (and tens of thousands who don't frequent the forums), that would quite literally have a field day if aspects of eBay's MBG policies were proven to be illegal; myself included.
There are sellers who have always been dubious about the legalities of certain policies, explored relevant laws and even reported practices, for years now, only to ultimately be disappointed. This situation contains no new information or evidence. eBay's attempt at PayPal only some years back, and the reaction from sellers when they knew perfectly well there were laws in place to prevent such things, shows that sellers will fight ebay when they have right on their side. The reaction and mass reporting to the ACCC when they introduced FVF on postage further shows that sellers still question policies and have the motivation to take issue with a wrong - perceived or otherwise.
So, the OP isn't getting support (and never will if they persist with this train of thought) because no one cares, it's because they know it's irrelevant to the actual issue.
I mean, if getting your money back thanks to the decision of an entity given authorisation to access / debit funds is proof that the entity that took your money was legally in the wrong....what does that suggest to the buyers who got their money back from the OP?
