The settlement includes $46.15 million to the Steiners, $6 million in charitable contributions to non-profit organisations, and a commitment by eBay to issue a strongly worded statement condemning the conduct of three former senior executives. In a statement, the company said the harassment was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” adding that it continued to extend its “deepest apologies” to the couple.
