eBay calls on EU to address digital protectionism

Today, eBay launched a campaign in Brussels calling on the EU to modernize competition, consumer and trademark law in order to address what it labeled "digital protectionism."

Frontier (Europe) carried out a study on behalf of eBay to compare the prices of a range of new consumer products sold on eBay against the price of comparable products sold in retail stores in the UK, Germany and France. Our research indicated that buyers on eBay in Europe benefit from savings of around €1 billion per annum.
