No it wasn't. It was overturned on appeal. But Yahoo stopped selling Nazi memorabilia anyway.

I'm not a lawyer, but that's not how I read it. The appeal by Yahoo! was dismissed according to the wikipedia article, as I read it. How did you read it?
The first court ruled in Yahoo's favor and the appeals court ruled that neither it nor any lower court in the US had the power to adjudicate the matter altogether, which was kind of a loss for both yahoo and the French organization.
