Llexcyiss Omega and D. Dale York, both residents of Indiana, jointly listed a Porsche automobile for sale
Question:
Llexcyiss Omega and D. Dale York, both residents of Indiana, jointly listed a Porsche automobile for sale on eBay. The listing stated that the vehicle was located in Indiana and that the winning bidder would be responsible for arranging and paying for delivery of the vehicle. The Attaways, residents of Idaho, entered a bid of $5,000 plus delivery costs. After being notified that they had won the auction, the Attaways submitted payment to Omega and York through PayPal, which charged the amount to the Attaways’ MasterCard account. The Attaways arranged for CarHop USA, a Washington-based auto transporter, to pick up the Porsche in Indiana and deliver it to their Idaho residence. After taking delivery of the Porsche, the Attaways filed a claim with PayPal, asking for a refund of its payment to Omega and York because the Porsche was “significantly not as described” in its eBay listing. PayPal informed the Attaways via email that their claim was denied. The Attaways convinced MasterCard to rescind the payment that had been made to Omega and York. Omega and York filed suit against the Attaways in small claims court in Indiana, demanding
$5,900 in damages. Explain whether the Indiana courts have jurisdiction over the Attaways.
