Internet auction site eBay said it would 'vigorously' defend itself against an antitrust class action lawsuit, re-filed in April in the District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that eBay, through its whollyowned subsidiary PayPal, uses illegal tie in and steering practices to improperly 'monopolize' the forms of payment that merchants can use on eBay. The class action was originally filed in March in the Western District of Texas.
