Two sellers sued eBay separately in 2007 alleging that eBay failed to give them the full duration for their auctions listings. Michael Ewert filed a class-action lawsuit against eBay in April, alleging that "customers routinely receive less auction time than they paid and selected." The Missing Link Inc. filed a similar lawsuit that August. Three years later and the Court has granted the motion to certify class and will rule on whether the two cases should be consolidated.
