Injustice: eBay fined $66m for selling fake Louis Vuitton goods

A Paris court has ordered the online auctioneer eBay to pay 40 million euro ($A65.8 million) in damages to Louis Vuitton for selling fake luxury goods online.

The commercial court ruled in favour of six LVMH brands which accused eBay of putting on sale fake handbags, clothes and other luxury goods and of illicit sales of perfumes in a case that began a year and a half ago.

eBay, the world's biggest online auctioneer, was ordered to pay 19.28 million euro to LVMH and 17.3 million euro to its sister company Christian Dior Couture for damage to their brand images and causing moral harm.

It must also pay 3.25 million euro to four perfume brands - Christian Dior, Kenzo, Givenchy and Guerlain - for sales in violation of its authorised network.

The court barred eBay, which said it will appeal against the ruling, from advertising the cosmetic or perfume brands on its website.

LVMH had argued that eBay had failed to do enough to prevent the sale of counterfeit copies of their goods and that it did not have legal permission to sell its authentic products.

The ruling came amid a flurry of legal action against the online giant, which claims to have some 84 million active users in 39 markets worldwide.
