French court had ordered eBay to 19.28m euros in damages to Luis Vuitton Malletier, 17.3m to Christian Dior Couture and 3.25m to the perfume brands.

The case against eBay in a commercial court in Paris was brought jointly by six brands belonging to the LVMH group. Such as LV group’s handbag and luggage, Christian Dior Couture and four perfume brands (Dior, Guerlain, Kenzo and Givenchy).

They alleged that even auctions involving their legitimate perfumes were illegal, because only specialist dealers were permitted to sell them.

The court barred eBay from selling the four perfumes in future.

An eBay statement said LVMH was trying to “protect uncompetitive commercial practices at the expense of consumer choice” and added that it would appeal.
