LVMH wins compensation from eBay

PARIS (Reuters) - A French court ordered eBay to pay 38.6 million euros (30.6 million pounds) to luxury goods group LVMH for allowing the sale of fake merchandise, in a ruling immediately appealed by the online auction website.

Monday's decision, a month after eBay was ordered by another French court to pay handbag maker Hermes 20,000 euros for allowing the sale of counterfeits, is the latest episode in a long fight between luxury goods makers and the world's biggest online auctioneer.

"We will fight all these decisions in the name of eBay users, and we have decided to appeal," eBay said in a statement.

"If counterfeit goods are put up for sale on our site, we scrap them as soon as possible," it said.

EBay accused LVMH of having a hidden agenda.

"Today's decisions are not about fighting counterfeiting. It's about LVMH's desire to protect commercial practices that exclude all competition," it said.

LVMH claimed damages of about 50 million euros because it said eBay's French arm had not done enough to prevent sales of counterfeit items.

Monday's ruling decided separate cases by several different LVMH brands -- LVMH and Dior Couture as well as perfume brands Dior, Guerlain, Givenchy and Kenzo.

Chambal Fertilisers

Technical Analyst, Rajat K Bose is of the view that Chambal Fertiliser may test Rs 104-105.

Bose told CNBC-TV18, "Chambal Fertiliser has been maintaining its uptrend since the lows of 18th March after that it has never looked back although corrections did happen. As of now if it were to maintain above the recent high around Rs 97 then one can expect Rs 104-105 but there is strong resistance between Rs 110-115. I suggest booking some profit there and for corrective stop, I would mention the level of Rs 85 below that one should book profits and get out."
