Couple harassed by former eBay employees sues company and former executives

A Massachusetts couple subjected to threats, mailed packages and other bizarre harassment from former employees of eBay filed a lawsuit against the company, its former employees and former CEO Devin Wenig on Wednesday.

David and Ina Steiner, who run the website EcommerceBytes, say in their lawsuit filed in a Boston federal court that the company engaged in a conspiracy to "intimidate, threaten to kill, torture, terrorize, stalk and silence them" in order to "stifle their reporting on eBay." The Natick residents say they were subjected to cyberstalking, death threats, bizarre deliveries and in-person surveillance from company workers. They're seeking damages to be awarded by a jury.
