Its about time someone and in this case "France" sttod up to Ebay. Ebay in my opinion is responsible for everything being sold on their site. They make a profit from every sale, when a counterfeit is sold Ebay becomes part of the crime. And yes, it is a crime to sell and profit from counterfeits. Ebay needs to do more about the problem.

In ebay's defense, they claim to be incorporating stricter measures to help enforce fraud items sold across their site. This is e-business, and we'll have to watch and see what occurs for the auction giant.

In exchange for a share of the sale, the regulator, which is recognized by the State, verifies and guarantees the authenticity of the goods. The catch in eBay's case is for France's judiciary to decide whether eBay is to be considered as a public auctioneer, which is regulated to ensure that the buyer gets authentic goods, or if it is only a tool for private auctions where regulation is not required. The size of eBay and the open character of the auctions suggests the former. But it may not take much compromise on each side to approve of the latter. The decision will be made in hopes to balance properly preventing the sale of counterfeit goods and giving people a convenient way to sell their valuables. Here is a little clarification:

Several competitors, including www.play.com, www.priceminister.fr and www.hitmeister.de are offering localized alternatives. And all three seem to be growing quicker than eBay and capitalizing on the weaknesses. It will be interesting to see how fast the huge eBay can change.
