French eBay Ordered To Stop Selling LVMH Beauty Products

Auction site eBay has suffered yet another blow. The Paris Court of Appeal has ordered the French version of the site to stop selling all LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton-owned beauty products. This comes just weeks after the auction site lost a high profile court battle against LVMH over the alleged selling of counterfeit goods.

WWD reports that eBay could be fined as much as 50,000 euros a day if it continues to sell Parfums Christian Dior, Kenzo Parfums, Guerlain and Parfums Givenchy products, as LVMH reserves the right to sell these goods only in selected outlets of its own choosing.

The French capital’s Tribunal de Commerce has initially handed down a judgment on this case on June 30. "The commercial court had ruled that eBay should prevent its Internet site users from using these brand names. This decision, which responds entirely to the demands of the LVMH group, confirms the seriousness of the faults committed by eBay's sites," the group had reportedly said.
