eBay Fined $2.5M in French Perfume Case

Just to be clear, this perfume isn’t for sale on eBay for $2.5 million…it actually cost them that much. At least they didn’t have to pay the $61 million the perfume company was originally asking for.

The auction giant and its European unit were fined 1.7 million euros on Monday by the Commercial Court of Paris, which ruled that the company violated a 2008 court order by not preventing the sale of legitimate LVMH perfumes and cosmetics. LVMH's brands include Christian Dior, Guerlain, and Givenchy perfumes.
