we are a company producing blooth headphones. there are some sellers selling our products at a quite low price, and their products are not immediately purchased from us, but some distributors. I'm wondering if there are any good methods to control the price by the company rule? as for the sellers'r behaviours, could it be called an infringement? how could we ask them adjust the price effectively? will ebay customer service will take care of this issue?

Look up the case Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v Selfridge & Co Ltd [1915] UKHL 1, [1915] AC 847

I'm pretty sure that you will find the answers to your question there

sorry but in Australia we do not allow price fixing.

what you are suggesting would be against no only ebay rules but australian trading laws.

why lick it off the ground when you can just guzzle it straight from the bottle?

does a libation hurt?

does it involve removing one's clothes?

Hi Cliff,

In Australia price fixing is illegal. eBay will do notthing.

Best to speak with your distributor.

Other option of course is stop selling to the distributor or increase their pricing or remove any rebates/discounts you have given them in the past (for any future orders).

This can have a flow on affect of distributors not discounting too much to their customers.

except for contacting with these low-price sellers in private to discuss the price adjustment, there is nothing else can do for ebay?

[*crikey*mate* · Accepted solution]

you need to have something in the contract between yourself and the person to whom you sell the items too.

You have no control over the third parties as your contract is not with them.

Read that link I gave you - it explains how Australian Law handles it.

eBay are just a platform, they can't tell people how much they have to pay for their stock and then how much they can sell it for unless there is some kind of legally enforceable document such as a contract.
