eBay's buyer protection loophole leaves a customer empty-handed

eBay's Money Back Guarantee policy promises item delivery to the buyer not just their ZIP code. The guarantee only says the delivery must have the recipient's address, showing the zip code (or international equivalent) that matches the one on the order details page. It says nothing about only checking or verifying the ZIP code in a dispute. When you provided USPS's evidence, eBay owed you a human intervention. Federal Trade Commission rules against deceptive business practices require companies to honor advertised guarantees.

Suing a Business for Personal Injury? Here's What You Need to Know

The most important concept in any personal injury case is "negligence." You can't simply sue a business because you got hurt on their property; you have to prove that they did something wrong. To win your case, you generally need to show that the business had a duty to keep you safe, that they failed in that duty, and that their failure directly caused your injury.
