I think your fight is great and worthy.

I am sick of these major corporation that think they can run roghshod over the small guy. In America at least we have this thing freedom of expression and this is something that applies to corporations as well as the government.

If you are ready for the fight then also be ready to never give up. Here is your plan of action.

1. Study up on the law surrounding your issue. (yoyoyoyo has given you some excellent starting points) This way if you run out of money or simply cannot afford an attorney you can act pro se (or as an attorney on your own behalf).

2. ebay is filing what amounts to a harassment suit, hoping you lack the will and the resources to keep on fighting, so it shows they are not foreign to a bit of dirty pool, well you can "flip the script on them" and play the publicity game. Shout it to the heavens that ebay is bullying you.

3. Contact old stalwart civil rights horses like the ACLU and others to see if they will get on board with you.
