An item that never shipped, a counterfeit sold as genuine, a payout held or reversed after the buyer had the goods. Tell Eleanor what happened, about six minutes, and walk out with a demand letter built for your state.
Eleanor totaled the $715 still unrecovered for your demand letter.
These are the patterns that bring people to small claims against a company this size. If one of them is your story, you are in the right place.
Yes. eBay is a corporation and small claims courts hear claims against corporations routinely, and a seller is a separate party who can also be named. Buyers claim over items paid for and never shipped, counterfeits sold as genuine, and goods not as described. Sellers claim over payouts held and payments reversed after delivery. Proof of delivery is the centre of a seller claim. Save the seller name and identifier, the listing as it appeared, and every written decision.
The money cleared and nothing was ever sent.
Authentication failed after the sale closed.
The item that arrived did not match the listing.
Seller funds frozen after the buyer received the goods.
Payment pulled back despite proof of delivery.
The protection case decided on policy and shut.
A marketplace order can involve three parties, and the hardest part of the claim is usually working out which one is answerable. Here is the general shape, in plain language.
Squabble is not a law firm and does not tell you who the answerable party is on your order. That depends on the facts and on your state's law. Read the platform terms in effect when you bought, and keep the seller's name exactly as it appeared on the order.
You do not need a contract signed in ink. Ordinary records carry most consumer claims. The specifics live on your state guide.
The order or receipt total, the delivery and assembly charges, and the card statement line behind them.
The product listing or advertisement as it appeared, the written warranty, and the return policy in effect when you bought.
The gap between the two. An item that never shipped, a counterfeit sold as genuine, a payout held or reversed after the buyer received it.
The return request, the warranty claim, the support thread, or a chargeback attempt.
A company answers a paper trail differently than it answers a support ticket. This is the file that makes a demand letter land.
Missing one of these does not close the door. Bring what exists, and note in writing what does not and why.
More consumer claims stall on this than on the facts. A company is not sued by its app name or its storefront sign. It is sued by the legal entity behind it, and that entity has to receive notice the way your state requires.
The registered business name of the party you actually transacted with, which is often a subsidiary rather than the brand on the receipt. It is identified during intake and confirmed against the state business registry before anything is filed.
Corporations appoint an agent in each state to receive court papers. Papers delivered anywhere else can be challenged. Squabble locates the current agent on file for your state at the time your claim is prepared.
Service of Process is formal notice delivered the way your court accepts, with proof filed back to the court. It is available with File Now and a Dedicated Case Agent for $88, or $128 if purchased later.
Squabble runs this lookup as part of preparing a claim. Doing it yourself first costs nothing and tells you early whether the party you have been dealing with is the party you would be suing.
Every state sets its own small claims limit, its own filing fee, and its own rules for serving a corporation. Open your state to see the numbers that apply to you.

Court-ready documents you file yourself. A demand backed by the paperwork.
The order record, the payment record, and the silence are the claim. Save the seller name and identifier before the listing disappears.
Proof of delivery is the centre of a seller claim: tracking, signature where you have it, and photographs of what went out. Keep the platform's written decision alongside it.
That is the platform applying its own policy to its own liability. It is evidence rather than a ruling on what the sale required.
That is common on marketplaces, and it is one reason the platform's own promises matter. Where the seller is unreachable, the practical claim often runs against the party you can actually serve.
It depends on who sold the item, what the platform promised about the sale, and what actually failed. They are separate parties, and identifying the right one is part of what intake works out before anything is filed.
That is common, and it is one of the reasons the platform's own promises matter. Keep the seller name and identifier exactly as they appeared on your order, because they are hard to recover later.
The written denial is useful evidence. It records what was claimed, when, and on what basis, and it does not decide what the sale required.
Venue rules vary by state. The ordinary options include where you live, where the transaction happened, or where the platform does business.
