An online seller with the username "pharmguy" places a listing for unused prescription drugs on an online auction website. John puts in the only bid. The online auction website removes the listing before the auction deadline ends because prescription drugs are prohibited items under the online auction website's terms and conditions. No payment is transmitted by John. John brings an action against
both the online auction website and the seller "pharmguy" for breach of contract. How would a court rule in this case?
What will be an ideal response?
A court would likely dismiss John's action because the listing for prescription drugs is based on an illegal contract. An illegal contract is not enforceable. John would also have trouble showing mutual agreement with "pharmguy" since the listing was removed before the auction closed.
