This is not good for eBayers or free trade at all. Especially the part that says "They alleged that even auctions involving their legitimate perfumes were illegal, because only specialist dealers were permitted to sell them." Trademark holders are overstepping their bounds trying to gain TOTAL control over their products. Look at what these honest sellers have had to add to the bottom of each and every listing - Item number: 120276289912. This is just a glimpse of the headaches VERO brand owners have been causing sellers. Also look at
