Starting July 1st 2008 ebay.de has a new rule forbidding the sale of archaeological artefacts without an official document certifying that the object was legally obtained (Pedigree). Hooray!
Hopefully the other national ebay sites will follow.

Ebay just got trounced for millions by a French court for selling counterfeit goods (£32m IIRC, paid to the original makers of the genuine goods). No doubt it's making them rethink their policy of seemingly hoping the goods will be sold before anything can be done about it (thus not cutting into their own profits). About time this happened, especially after the amount of times they've been notified of fakes by people here to seemingly little effect.

Well, all this trade will have to go underground, to more obscure places. As it was before. Really, Ebay helped a lot selling to the "dubious origin artifacts" (or awful fakes :twisted: ). Now it won´t be so easy, at least.
