Felixstowe eBay seller 'made £25,000' from fakes


"A man made £25,000 on eBay by printing and selling goods illegally emblazoned with trade names including Land Rover and Ford, a court has heard.

Christopher Taylor, 42, breached the copyright of the car makers and cartoon brand Looney Toons to sell clothing, stickers and mobile phone cases.

He and his company, Sticar-it Ltd, admitted 20 charges at Ipswich Crown Court.

Taylor, of Felixstowe, Suffolk, was given a 12-month suspended sentence. The company was fined £6,000.

Suffolk Trading Standards said its officers made test purchases from the eBay seller and went on to seize more than 10,000 items from Bridge Road, Felixstowe.

It said Sticar-it Ltd offered a range of services including printing services, and merchandise production such as stickers, phone cases and clothing.

Both pleaded guilty to 15 counts of Trade Marks Act 1994 violations and five counts against the Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1988.

Taylor, of Lidgate Court, had his 12-month sentence suspended for 18 months. He and Sticar-it Ltd were also subject to a confiscation order of £25,200 and must pay £8,000 costs.

Sounds like justice meted out fairly for once... Whistle

But how many more scumbags are doing the same and getting away with it... Evil or Very Mad

Including those stripping and selling stolen parts... Rolling Eyes
