So the PS3 is now less than a month away which makes it legal to list the pre-orders on EBay.
However, the rules are AMAZINGLY STRICT. Here is what one guy says on his listing.
I have met the following requirements in order to pre-sell a PS3: (these rules apply to me the seller, not you the buyer). (http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Playstation-3-PS3-System-Console-60GB-Pre-Sale_W0QQitemZ230040746920QQihZ013QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
1. I must have a Feedback of 50 or more.
2. My Feedback score must be 98% or above.
3. I may only list one system. I may list 1 PlayStation 3 and 1 Nintendo Wii with a photo of my pre-order receipt for each system.
4. I must accept PayPal as my only payment option.
5. I must include a photo of my receipt in the listing.
6. No Buy It Now will be allowed.
7. No one day listings will be allowed.
This is freaking insane. If these rules are true, I cannot list a PS3 since though my feedback is exactly 100%, it is only 12, not 50! Argh.
Why does EBay care? They are the ones getting all the publicity from this, therefore increasing their hits. They should NOT be able to do this.
Can someone contact an EBay representative about this please?
And are these rules only for pre-orders, and once the console ships, will these rules be lifted??

yeah but they helped prevent a whole lot of scammers from tricking people of of thier money i think that was a great idea
1.the feedback is to make sure the person is a trusted seller on ebay
2.paypal lets people get thier money back if some one try's to scam them out of thier money
3.the photo's is at least some sort of valid prof wich can actuly be check and confirmed

They can do it. When you signed up with Ebay you agreed to their rules. Whatever they may be.
As for them lifting them once the systems are made available who knows, but with a such a shortage it wouldnt suprise me if they keep them.
Dont let the door hit you on the way out, beacause I dont want ass prints on my new door!

As I understand, this is for pre-orders only. So once the console officially comes out, these rules should be lifted and it will sell as usual.
And BTW, getting ahold of the eBay reps is extremely hard, it takes days for them to reply to inquiries. WTF.

Nice work indeed. And that's a month before the actual release date. Wow.

well, while the PS2's general lifetime is 5 years, Sony is hoping the PS3 will last 10.

i doubt it will since microsoft is already working on a new system kinda like xbox b4 xbox even was out they started working on the 360
so i doubt sony will be dumb enough to let microsoft take the lead

When and for how much are you all going to start bidding your PS3s at? Also, what type of shipping is best?
