Tiffany's in Tiff with eBay

Filed in archive Jewelry News by tammy on February 6, 2006

This has been all over the news, but if you've been living under a rock or maybe the moon, you may have missed the news that Tiffany's is suing eBay. It's long been known that some disreputable eBay sellers deal in counterfeit merchandise, and it looks like Tiffany's has said enough already:

From Forbes.com: "Tiffany [...] the purveyor of jewelry, timepieces, silver, china, stationery, crystal and ubiquitous Elsa Peretti-designed coffee bean links

necklaces, is suing online auction giant eBay [...] for helping to flog counterfeit jewelry. The Tiffany lawsuit, in addition to accusing eBay of facilitating counterfeiting, also contends that Meg Whitman's eBay charges hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees for counterfeit sales."

I have to admit to having mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it reminds me of a flea market set up where sellers may be selling counterfeit jewelry or other items and the owner of the flea market may not know it. So, why should the owner be responsible? But, on the other hand, from the other news reports I've been reading, eBay has been told about certain unlawful merchants and refused to shut them down.

It will be interesting to see the fall out.

Add your response to Tiffany's in Tiff with eBay: Response from: ;knljh (09/18/09 6:58am) Allen Iverson broke out his newest signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XII, during the first game between the Buy Reebok Answer XII Invictus Shoes in November 2008. The Reebok Answer XII Invictus On Sale basketball shoe features a leather upper with internal mock bootie construction that provides maximum comfort. The Nike zoom BB IIreceived its design cues from Japanese-born Reebok designer Nike Zoom BB II Basketball Shoes, who also designed the Answer X. Both Winfield and Kanata have been trading off between the past three Buy Cheap Nike Zoom BB II Men's Basketball shoes to allow for a longer design window and more attention to the development process. It could be argued that Iverson�s series lost its gusto during the VI to IX era. Luckily, for Iverson and his fans, the line has been in good hands the past three years. The mid panel is also generously perforated for greater breathability and the Nike Shox Vc IV Men's Basketball Shoe Black suede toe sets off a nice balance to the simple yet sharp overall look.? The outsole features a sticky rubber wavy herringbone traction pattern and cushioning comes via DMX Ride.
