Belgian Tribunal Dismisses L'Oreal Claims in eBay Lawsuit

eBay said the Belgian Tribunal de Commerce has dismissed all claims by L'Oreal brought against eBay regarding the sale of counterfeit items. eBay issued a statement published on the eBay corporate blog "This is the second successful court ruling in a row for eBay, both supporting our view that controlling prices and distribution reduces consumer choice. The litigation of counterfeits against eBay has been exposed as merely a stalking horse. eBay provides a vibrant and trusted marketplace that gives European consumers a good deal. We work to tackle the menace of counterfeit through action and co-operation with rights owners."

eBay claims court victory in Belgium over L'Oreal in counterfeit goods case

Online auctioneer eBay claimed yesterday to have won a Belgian court case against L'Oreal after the French cosmetics giant sued it over the sale of counterfeit goods. L'Oreal has brought cases against eBay in five European nations, including Belgium, accusing the company of not doing enough to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods posted on its auction and sale sites. The Belgian commercial court, the first jurisdiction to deliver a ruling, "has ruled in favour of eBay," said Sravanthi Agrawal, eBay spokeswoman in Europe. The court ruled that the world's largest online auctioneer did not have "a general monitoring obligation" of what was on offer on its site. "The judge confirmed that eBay acted diligently when it received letters from L'Oreal," the spokeswoman added.

Layoffs Possibility Notwithstanding, eBay Wants To Buy Classified Startups

Rumors are floating around that eBay (NSDQ: EBAY) is going to lay off about 10 percent of its 15,000 employees, attributable mainly to an analyst at Wedge Partners, a small Colorado investment-research firm. And while the company has refused to comment on it, it makes sense that eBay will do some rationalization of its business considering its declining profits and stagnant traffic. Despite that, the company is interested in making some more acquisitions in the online classifieds space, according to Jacob Aqraou, GM of eBay’s global classified business. He told WSJ that the company will take over a “fair” number of companies in the next six months or so. With the market being what it is, and the valuations coming down, the company is looking at sites that have leading positions in geographies and industry segments in which eBay does

Amazon vs. EBay: Looking Beyond E-Commerce

There's a very interesting article via MSN Money about how Amazon (AMZN) is beating up EBay (EBAY). I abandoned eBay (EBAY) as an investment many years ago as it's now a "value play" instead of growth, but have always said I'd love to get a piece of the action of PayPal if they ever spun it off in its own entity. It's essentially a Mastercard (MA)/VISA (V) clone. PayPal is now up to 1 of every 4 dollars of revenue for Ebay, and why they don't create value by doing a PayPal IPO is beyond me.

Payments Changes at eBay Go Well Beyond Tossing out Checks

(September 16, 2008) When eBay Inc. announced its all-electronic payments policy last month, the move triggered what an eBay executive calls a “mixed” response, at best, from the online marketplace’s sprawling seller community. But the policy changes go beyond banning checks and money orders on eBay. They include requirements that will force third-party payments vendors, as well as sellers with merchant accounts, to integrate their payment systems with eBay’s checkout process. And they have vaulted an 11-year-old processor in Orem, Utah, into prominence as the first provider other than eBay’s PayPal unit to provide integrated electronic processing.

Tiffany appeals ruling eBay won over fakes

Tiffany & Co. challenged yesterday a federal ruling that largely absolved eBay Inc. of policing its auction site for counterfeit items, saying the judge was wrong to leave the primary burden to the jewellery maker. The appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York extends a case that Tiffany filed against eBay in 2004 arguing that most items listed for sale on eBay as genuine Tiffany products were fakes. Last month, a judge ruled that trademark holders like the jewellery maker, rather than auction platforms like eBay, are responsible for policing their brands online. Tiffany lawyer James Swire said yesterday that trademark law doesn't put the responsibility on Tiffany for policing its own trademark. "The judge's entire analysis of what is Tiffany's responsibility with respect to the site versus eBay's starts from an incorr

GameStop wins in traffic growth, while eBay slips yet again, Nielsen says

eBay (EBAY) Looking to Buy Stake in Gmarket (GMKT) -Reuters

Reuters is reporting that eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) is looking to buy a stake in Gmarket (Nasdaq: GMKT), a South Korean online retailer. eBay would be purchasing the stake from Interpark, a South Korean mall operator, but the companies are currently waiting for approval from the Korea Fair Trade Commission.

eBay Negotiating Minority Stake in South Koreas GMarket

eBay (NSDQ: EBAY) is in talks to acquire a minority stake in GMarket, a South Korean online auctioneer. The talks are with Interpark Corp., the Korean portal that owns 37 percent of the company. A spokesperson from eBay told AP that there was no certainty a deal would be reached or that it would be approved by South Korean regulators—eBay already owns a South Korean competitor, the aptly named Internet Auction. No deal terms have been announced, although shares of NASDAQ-listed GMarket shot up over 14 percent on the news. In 2006, Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) took a 10 percent stake in GMarket, so they’re a beneficiary of this as well.
