I now have 8 bikes awaiting my payment and obviously I dont need a motorcycle.
Can the sellers really sue me? And if they do, do they have a chance?
Also, my credit card isn't on file and I could care less about negative feedback and points and whatnot.
Can they sue you? Sure can. Can they win? Possibly unless you can prove that there was fraud involved.
You should not give your I.D. or password to anyone. Change them. This is on you because you gave permission for the person to act as your agent by giving that info.
Contact each seller and tell them you want to cancel the transaction. An individual seller does not take credit cards, just Paypal.
You wont be sued if you cancel these transactions. You wont be sued if the seller does not live in the same city where the lawsuit would have to be filed.
Your account will be suspended or removed if you dont do something about these purchases.
Kyle, why the "LOL"? What part of this seems to be funny to you? You, by way of your friends, have entered into a legal contract to purchase 8 motorcycles. You can indeed be sued, and you don't stand a chance of winning. The defense of "my friends did it" will not stand up in a court of law.
You may not be forced to pay for the items you legally purchased, however the sellers can sue you in small claims court, of their jurisdiction (meaning you have to travel to their location for the hearing) and collect monetary damages they incurred due to your defaulting on your legal obligation. The sellers can also seek punitive damages as these purchases were done intentionally.
You are on the hook. Your eBay account is done for. Your PayPal account is done for. A judgement against you will haunt your credit rating and ruin your chances to purchase a car, rent an apartment or purchase a home. Who's laughing now? Your friends? With friends like that, who needs fools?
I'd consult with an attorney ASAP. Seriously.
Your credit card may not be "on file" with Ebay, but if you have an account it is tied to your Paypal account, where your banking information IS on file.
At this stage, you can contact each seller and let them know you changed your mind and Paypal to stop any payments coming from Ebay. It may not work, but you seriously need to contact both Ebay and Paypal because as it stands they are looking to you for the payments, not your friends.
Are you joking? No one can make bids on anyone's account without knowing the password.
If you foolishly gave out your password, then of course the sellers can sue you.
Each bid is a legal committment.
As a matter of law, you are not legally obligated under any transaction in which you were not a party. The other party has the burden of proving that you, personally, entered the transaction. An unattended computer terminal is not a party to the lawsuit.
You cannot "unknowingly" be bound to any contract.
In other words, you would move to dismiss for various reasons or alternatively to join other indispensable parties who might actually be liable.
In reality, you simply cancel the bids, due to "mistake", and the sellers re-list.
