Hypothetical question

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

eBay siding with buyer on false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $7,887. I have tried contacting customer support 9 times with no resolution.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Illustrative response

Pro tip: if a company is violating your rights and you need legal help but can't afford it, check if any law school clinics in your area handle your type of case. Law students (supervised by licensed attorneys) provide free legal services and are often very thorough because they're learning.

Did you escalate to their executive team? Contact info is usually on LinkedIn.
