I can certainly understand your frustration.  But EBay will NEVER claim to be at fault. 

I’m really not sure what you can do about it though. Customer service is non existent, and in all honesty, you will get better advice on this members forum, than you would through their help set-up.

I also wonder what actual good, taking it to court will achieve. EBay will drag it out for years and years and YEARS and you will not only be broke, but destitute too. It will also rid you of a life, and affect your health.

PICK YOUR BATTLES, MY FRIEND.

Ebay has gone downhill …. Start fresh on a new selling platform and just give eBay the bird! 
They are now, equivalent to platforms like *wish* which is equivalent to shops like *the reject shop*  IMO.  Full of cheap, overseas, rubbish! 

Honestly, taking this any further is just not worth the hassle, and you won’t get any further satisfaction from it.
