eBay on Watchdog
Published November 8th, 2006
It was only a matter of time before someone would
start to complain about the number of designer fakes
being offered for sale on eBay.
Last night(7th November) the influential BBC program “Watchdogâ€
featured the issue citing examples of fake products
they had purchased on eBay. The impression the
program gave was that eBay could do much more to
solve this problem.
The fact that eBay were not prepared to put a spokesperson
onto the program to answer the points raised was also
somewhat damning. Presenter Nicky Campbell questioned
whether if this trade in counterfeit goods could tip the balance
and frighten customers away from eBay.
One thing eBay can be sure of if they do not take decisive action
the problem will not go away. I suspect we will soon be seeing
similar features in the media in the coming weeks. Not what eBay
of their sellers want in the run up to the busy Christmas season.
