At one of my most recent family get-togethers my cousin, who is now a hot shot patent lawyer in Washington D.C., told us all about her latest case that had to do eBay. eBay is one of the most popular online auctions, defined by our textbook as, "E-commerce that allows shoppers to purchase products through online bidding." Sites such as eBay are a great way for bargain hunters to find deals on new or barely used items that they couldn't find anywhere else. The problem with this is that many people have been claiming to sell real designer purses; brands such as Chanel, Louie Vitton, Gucci etc., when in fact they really had a fake and simply posted a picture on the site of an authentic purse. This is the problem with online auction sites, there is currently no way for them to monitor the authenticity of the items people are claiming to have!
