Hermes, Dior & Louis Vuitton vs. eBay

Filed under: Handbags

In recent fashion news a French court ruled in favor of Hermes in a case they brought against eBay that involved the sales of fake handbags. This case set precedent and although the punitive fines involved are relatively small, the outcome of the case undoubtedly has eBay a little worried. The verdict directly challenges eBay's argument that it is not directly responsible for what is sold on its web site. Did I mention Tiffany & Co., Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton all have similar cases in the works against eBay! In response, eBay has said it takes counterfeiting very seriously and points to the steps it has taken since the case was first launched to improve its anti-counterfeiting measures. I'm interested to see the outcome of all this and I wonder if consumers will notice any changes in online auction policies as a result.

It must be fate, last night driving home on a mostly deserted street I pulled up to a red Dodge Viper at a stoplight, today I learn on a Viper that is being auctioned off on eBay to benefit those affected by Hurricane Katrina. An anonymous donor offered this 1996 Viper to the Pathway Church in Maryland and 100% of the proceeds will go to hurricane relief. The Viper has less than 40,000 miles on it and comes with a soft top and soft windows. Thecurrent bid stood at $32,000 last time I checked.
