> > Ebay does not have the right ... to violate law even to protect themselves.

> Yes they do, as they should.

No they should not, and I cannot believe you could say any such thing in good faith.

> if you're abusing their service they need to be allowed to ban you

Who said anything about "abusing their service"?

> Imagine if Amazon wasn't allowed to ban scammers

Nobody is talking about banning scammers.

Don't do this: Don't argue in bad faith. You can still disagree and think companies have the right to commit crimes, but you don't have to act like I'm saying something that I'm clearly not!

> but a private online store can ban users

Actually they can't, because we're now talking about users instead of scammers and abusers: There's something called the Americans for Disability Act, and it protects access to storefronts and no a private online store CANNOT ban users who need an accessibility tool.
