eBay have been sued for allowing sales of French branded cosmetics on their site:http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y09/��As I understand it, it s only supposed to stop French members from buying or selling authentic LVMH perfume products on any eBay site in the world but eBay being what it is, there are also problems for users other than the French (such as yourself).
Just go to a store! Then you can smell and test whether or not you even like the stuff.
Some Countries have bans on what beauty products can be imported (France and Germany are 2 of them)
