Countering counterfeits.(online offering of counterfeit products)(Brief article)
Five percent of survey respondents said they had bid on or bought counterfeit goods. That would come as no surprise to Tiffany & Co., which has sued 50 sellers and eBay itself, alleging the company was complicit in allowing the sellers to "infest" the site with poor-quality fakes.
But it's not just pricey goods that are being counterfeited, and the problem isn't limited to eBay. Lisa Lyttle, complaint supervisor for the Internet Crime Complaint Center, recommends being especially careful in any online auction of repossessed cars, purebred pets, sports memorabilia, tickets for major sporting events, or hot videogame systems during the holidays.
