This is already a good number of years that eBay is the focus of LVMH for the sale of cosmetics and fragrances.

"We have put in place all necessary means, including additional manual filtering, to comply with this injunction," said the Chief eBay France Alexander von Schirmeister. This court decision is "absolutely disproportionate," he said. The group reserves the right to appeal this decision but it is still "too early" to know what he decides to do, "concluded Alexander von Schirmeister.
