eBay Pays $56M After Harassment Plot | Tech News

eBay just paid $56 million to settle a wild harassment case from 2019, after executives targeted a couple who criticized the company’s e-commerce practices—with threats ranging from GPS trackers to a “Samoan gang” visit. The couple’s 2021 lawsuit led to a $46.15 million payout from eBay and smaller contributions from ex-CEOs like Devin Wenig. Seven former employees, including security chief James Baugh (who got nearly five years), have already pleaded guilty. eBay says this was never part of their culture and reiterates its apology to the victims.
