🧩 Horror Story #3 – Authentic Items, Vintage Collectibles… Still Sued
In this shocking example, multiple eBay sellers shared their personal stories of being targeted in a Schedule A Defendant (SAD) lawsuit — despite selling authentic, original items, many of which were vintage, personal collectibles, or legally acquired products.
From Hong Kong to the UK, sellers woke up to find their PayPal and eBay accounts frozen without warning, simply because they were included in a bulk lawsuit filed in the U.S. These lawsuits often begin with a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued by a judge in Illinois — freezing funds and accounts before sellers even have a chance to respond.
One seller was offering vintage Godzilla soft vinyl kits, clearly authentic and personal items. Another seller was suspended for selling a product made by a UK company that had no connection to the plaintiff. The law firm still demanded $8,000 to drop the case.
💡 And the kicker?
Some sellers never even sold an item to the U.S. — but were still included in the lawsuit anyway.
