French cosmetics company L'Oreal is suing eBay in 5 European countries - Belgium, France, Germany, UK and Spain - for selling counterfeit bottles of perfume. L'Oreal claims they've tried to reach an agreement with eBay on this matter, but in the end had no choice but to sue them.
This is definitely not the first time eBay has been sued over fake goods: in this case from 2000, they've been sued for sale of fake sports memorabilia. eBay's stance then (and probably now) was that they merely offer a platform for selling goods and that they cannot be held accountable for the authenticity of individual items on sale.
