PARIS (Reuters) -The French prosecutor's office on Tuesday said it had opened an investigation on U.S. E-commerce giant eBay on suspicion of the sale of illicit goods on its marketplace, confirming an earlier report from newspaper Le Parisien.

The prosecutor's office opened the investigation after consumer watchdog DGCCRF had said two weeks ago it had found illicit goods on eBay's market place and other e-commerce portals.

EBay did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
