Or is this just, no EBAYING for Ps3 pre-orders?

Whoa, removed already.

Null · 10-16-2006, 03:40 PM

you cant sell something you dont own. all ps3's are removed because its not out yet. thats something ebay has always 'tried' to keep up on.

of course people can still sell them once they're out.

Okay, when is the exact release date for Wii. It's very important that I get up early and wait in line at the store.

Crash · 10-16-2006, 05:25 PM

isnt' it monday the 20th? for wii, and friday 17th for ps3?

I think that's the case, so be prepared to wait all day sunday, and all day thursday.

really? nintendo is GENIUS. Waiting over a weekend is much better than skipping out on work, to wait for the ps3.

DAMN YOU SONY, move the launch for waiting on a weekend.

For ebay Wii and PS3 - pre-order sales:

Quote:

Sony Playstation 3 PS3 60GB Premium Console.

System PRE-ORDER  First person in line and will ship first thing November 17th.

ATTN: This auction complies with eBay's Rules & Regulations for a pre-sale item as stated here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/pre-sale.html

And also complies with eBay's new stronger measures for Playstation 3 pre-order sales as emailed to me from Safe Harbor Here:

Due to the high demand and limited supply of PlayStation 3 systems we are taking stronger measures to protect both buyers and sellers in the eBay community.

You must meet the following requirements in order to pre-sell a PS3:

1. You must have a Feedback of 50 or more.

2. Your Feedback score must be 98% or above.

3. You may only list one system. You may list 1 PlayStation 3 and 1 Nintendo Wii with a photo of your pre-order receipt for each system.

4. You must accept PayPal as your only payment option.

5. You must include a photo of your receipt in the listing.

6. No Buy It Now will be allowed.

7. No one day listings will be allowed.

(these are rules for the seller, not the buyer).

Breaking News: PayPal Holds Funds from PS3 & Wii Sales on EBay

Turns out getting qualified to auction your PS3 or Wii on eBay was only half the battle - reports are now coming in that PayPal is holding all the funds from PS3 sales via eBay.

Funds are held and accounts essentially froze until at least November 17, 2006 or when the seller can provide PayPal with a tracking number. Since PayPal is the only payment option allowed for PS3 and Wii auctions, even qualified sellers are left with no access to funds for almost a month, if not longer.

Earlier today we received a report from a seller who had been with eBay since 1998 and with PayPal since 2000. He has over 500 feedbacks with a 99.8% rating. Easily enough for the eBay console pre-sale restrictions. Here is his story:

There goes paying the $50 pre-order, and waiting for a check before picking up the system.... Gotta have the $1000 already to go.

Question is, what the @#)($*)@(*% are they going to do about the BIDDERS F(*&(S*&(*S&D(*& OVER the sellers?

had PLENTY of fake bidders on auctions last year for xbox

Does this policy pertain to the systems after they've been released. Cause that was my plan. Go out and buy one or two and then sell them as soon as I get home.
