Lots of people try and earn a quick buck by selling a console for 3x it’s normal price. Everyone knows this is what’s going to happen because we saw it with the Xbox 360. There were some incidents where people just had a picture of the Xbox 360 box, and sold the box alone for $600. There was another case that happened when someone wrote an “X” on a brown cardboard box, and that ended up selling for big money.
Ebay is starting to crack down are these situations because they knew that it got out of hand. There are the new rules.
- Only one of each console can be listed per seller at a time prior to the system launch dates.
- The seller must only accept PayPal payments and have a minimum of 50 feedback and a rating of 98% or higher to qualify for PayPal Buyer Protection.
- The pre-sale can only be in Auction format, no Buy It Now listings will be accepted
- The listing must include a clear photo of the pre-order receipt in the description of your auction
