The production and sale of counterfeit goods is illegal and often linked to inferior quality goods and many other criminal activities. If your auction was shut down pursuant to our request, it is because you have infringed the intellectual property rights of one of our Maisons. This may be because the item was counterfeit, infringing the registered design and/or copyright of a Maison product, or because the auction content was misusing one or more trade marks belonging to a Maison. Given the number of items on this platform, it is not possible for us to contact each seller individually before requesting that eBay shut down the auction.
