I just got 2 7d batteries off ebay and put one of them in the camera and now it won't come out. Has anyone else had this problem, or knows how to get it out?

7D Ebay Battery Stuck in Camera

Take something that you could use as a handle and superglue it to the bottom of the battery. Wait for the glue to set, then (carefully) pull it out. Very, very carefully. If there's firm resistance (eg like it's locked on something) then hie thee to a service center.
Happened to me too. Got it out with a laptop pry tool. Funny thing is the battery didn't work at first (charge drained after a few days of sitting), and was stuck. Got stuck the next 5 or 6 times, and since has ejected much more easily. Holds a charge now too. Seems to be okay, kind of a pain at first. Had it not been so inexpensive....

I was able to get it out by putting 2 knives in and pulling it out. I tried putting it in 2 more times to see if it would stop sticking, but no luck. Then I wrapped a piece of floss around it so that I can just pull at the floss to get it out and that works great.
The weird thing is i bought 2 of these batteries on ebay and the other one works fine. The one that worked felt a little heavier so I weighed both of them and the one that didn't work was 2.1 ounces and the working one was 2.5. So maybe its something about those .4 ounces that makes it easier to eject the battery.
