Intertraders.eu reports that the Tribunale di Messina, an Italian court in southern Italy, has ordered eBay Europe to reactivate the account of Arcapel (user ID: www_arcapelsrl_it), an Italian ecommerce corporation. According to Rocco Gianluca Massa, Editor of InterTraders.eu, eBay had suspended Arcapel's account after it received two negative feedback ratings (with a positive rating of 440) from two buyers.
Dr. Massa said Arcapel sued eBay after its suspension, and said, "The judge ordinance is very important because it is one of the first Italian pronunciations in online auction matter, and the first that condemn eBay, highlighting some irregularities on eBay's Italian User Agreement," referencing "the "ease" with which the auction provider suspends Italian users."
Dr. Massa's July 27 article about the case can be found on Intertraders.eu in Italian language (readers can use Google's language tools to translate the page).
