Tiffany claims that 75% of everything on ebay is fraudulent.

Based on my experience that statistic just seems ludicrous.

Maybe 75% of stuff being sold as Tiffany? Didn't read the original
article but that'd be more believable.

Reading the story at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6030048/, that seems
to be the claim. They took a sample of "about" 200 items and found
that "three-quarters" were obvious fakes. So it sounds like they it
was a sample of items sold as Tiffany, and there's a lack of
specificity (don't they know exactly how many they bought and how many
were fakes?) that makes it sound like there was some exaggeration
going on.
