An arbitrator with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center awarded ebay 15 eBay-related domain names .The respondent in this case is Maria Cecilia Vieites . eBay filed a complaint with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center on July 15,2011,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain name.

The 15 domain names are  :

eBay owns many trademark registrations for the eBay mark.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to its trademark.Moreover,eBay contended that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith.

The Panel ordered the 15 domain names to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant .
