eBay wins in New York

In the lawsuit brought by Tiffany against eBay in a Manhattan court, the court ruled that eBay does not have a legal responsibility to prevent users from selling fake items.

This is at odds with an earlier French court ruling that ebay had the legal obligation.

Great, atleast someone agrees with my thought process. They should penalize those sellers instead and ban them from the site. Ebay is a huge platform and sometimes things can escape their notice. Co's combing ebay to see if there are fakes around should report those sellers to ebay immidiately and demand action.

For me, I agree with the French rather than the American court ruling. Let see if some higher court will rule on this issue in future.
