The landmark lawsuit also alleges that eBay, in addition to facilitating sales of fake Tiffany goods, also makes millions of dollars from fees charged for counterfeit sales. Two years ago, Tiffany bought several hundred items on eBay and found that three quarters of the items purchased were counterfeit.
