eBay and three former executives agreed to pay nearly $56 million in a settlement over a macabre campaign of cyberstalking and harassment that targeted two journalists in 2019.

As we’ve previously written, the case involved deliveries of live cockroaches, a funeral wreath, a book about surviving the loss of a spouse, and a bloody pig mask to the home of a couple who run a news website. There were also harassing messages sent via email and Twitter, and an attempt to install a GPS tracking device on the victims’ car. Criminal charges resulted in guilty pleas and prison terms for former eBay employees.

    small/medium shops have worked for me for the most part, only time I’ve had to use amazon in the last 10 years was for a replacement screen for a phone.

    tho i dont live in america so have no idea if there is enough small stores to buy stuff from but i guess one should at least try buy from those whenever possible
