Need for Stronger Solutions Underscored by eBay Counterfeits Ruling in France; US Decision Imminent

GLOUCESTERSHIRE, England-In light of the recent legal ruling in France resulting in a $63 million fine against eBay for selling counterfeit luxury goods, the global issue of product authenticity among online auction sites has been brought sharply into focus. Cybercrime and "e-fencing" are serious matters in the US as well, costing consumers an estimated $4 billion annually. A judge in the US is due to rule at any time on a similar case brought by Tiffany. This threat was identified eight years ago by the founders of CheckMEND.com, an online property validation service, who have compiled what is now the world’s largest database of counterfeit and stolen goods with more than 100 million records. A simple online search (or "check") allows auction sites, consumers and manufacturers to validate the authenticity of a product for less than a dollar.

Auctionblip has re-launched its service that helps collectors maximize their search for specific items to add to their collections.

Auctionblip also introduced an interactive forum, "Collector's Click," a place where collectors can chat via message boards to share tips, advice and images of their collections with other interested parties.
