eBay Inc. agrees to pay nearly $50 million to a Massachusetts couple, David and Ina Steiner, to settle a lawsuit over an alleged cyberstalking and intimidation campaign, according to settlement terms released Tuesday. The couple said former eBay employees targeted them after they covered the company via a newsletter. They reported receiving anonymous and threatening deliveries and communications, including live cockroaches and other items described in the reports, such as a funeral wreath and a bloody pig Halloween mask. The couple also alleged that they experienced death threats and surveillance. The settlement resolves claims connected to conduct the Steiners attributed to former eBay workers. Multiple outlets report that the payout is close to $50 million and that the agreement comes after the case was litigated for years, with details presented through court or settlement documents. While the settlement terms address the resolution of the claims, the reporting focuses on the allegations made by the couple and the announced settlement amount rather than on an admission of wrongdoing by eBay.
