German Court Says EBay Must Halt Sale Of Fake Rolexes
Published July 28th, 2007
EBay must do more to halt sales of counterfeit goods on its site because of a ruling in a German court involving the sale of fake Rolex watches.
EBay reported the measure Friday in a SEC filing, although the actual court decision was reached back in June.
The SEC filing was the latest event in a six-year dispute between eBay and Montres Rolex SA and its affiliates. EBay had won earlier decisions in the dispute.
EBay has been plagued by con artists attempting to sell a variety of counterfeit goods on its site. The auction firm has had some success in tightening up its policies governing the sale of goods. Last month, two men were cited for selling $6 million of counterfeit software on the auction site.
