So I hear through the grapevine that eBay’s executives are dancing in the street in the wake of the company’s victory in the Tiffany counterfeiting case. (Several years ago, Tiffany sued eBay for not proactively monitoring the site to prevent counterfeit items from being offered for sale or auction. One person involved in the case on the Tiffany side told me at the time that 95 percent of everything on eBay that was supposedly made by Tiffany was, in fact, fraudulent.) I hope they don’t party too hard at eBay not only because Tiffany is sure to appeal but also because it has lost three similar cases in Europe, brought by Rolex, Hermes and Louis Vuitton. No, the real problem here stems from eBay’s attitude toward its customers: namely, the site had no real responsibility toward rectifying wrongs — of any sort — that occur during an eBay transaction.	1
