The Total payout is $9.25 million of which the lawyer scum cash-in with over 1/3 of it at $3.3 MILLION!

And you wonder WHY American companies are moving overseas?

Thank You - john edwards and john kerry!

I received one of these email notifications. I will not seek to join the suits. I don't want to encourage bottom-feeders like John Edwards.

If the Court approves the proposed settlement, Class Counsel will make a motion to the Court for an award of attorneys' fees of up to $3,332,500 and reimbursement of expenses of up to $135,000, to be paid from the $9.25 million settlement fund.

I think that no class action lawsuit should be allowed to proceed unless the actual class members "plaintiffs" stand to gain at least $5000 each in damages.

A law like that would really eliminate a lot of this nonsense. I have been told I am a class member in plenty of class action lawsuits where my remuneration ended up being something like 25 cents in coupons, while the lawyers walk away with millions in legal fees.

I also got the email. Have never had a problem with Paypal and have actually liked using it. See no reason to be part of this lawsuit.

Class Counsel will also seek reimbursement from the settlement fund on behalf of certain of the named plaintiffs in the litigation for reimbursement of their expenses related to their service as class representatives in the litigation, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000.

So the people who file a claim get fifty bucks a piece, and the lawyers get a few million dollars. Nice.

PayPal is anti-2A - as they have a right to be. I have a right to enjoy this defeat for them just as I eagerly anticipate Ahh, Oh helL's come-uppance.

I've been a user of PayPal for many years always as a buyer. Over the years PayPal has done some pretty bad things to auction sellers, making them guilty until they prove their innocence if they can.

While I choose not to participate in this class action lawsuit, many have been harmed by PayPal's less than honest mode of business over the years.

[ApplegateRanch]

I chose not to participate in this. No harm, no foul, so no collecting.

Pay-Pal, has been a good service provider to me, paid me good interest; and has never harmed me in any way. By not participating, it does not help Pay-Pal; it just means a minutely larger slice for each of the other 'eligible' "Statutory Damage Fund Participants".

OTOH, I DID particpate in one other class action: My "payout" was a 66% reduction in price for all the individual electric zone-heaters I had to tear out of my walls and replace.

coupon litigation.

On the one hand LEGITIMATE cases like this can only be grouped together. (for example, the industry playing games with screen size vs actual display)

On the other hand, nit pick suits which are by design an attorney fee suit.

(of course the looser pays system would have the 1/3 comming out of the defendant.)

BTW it may not be a third, in most states the percentages go down after 1 million.
