Preorder the Playstation 3
EBay has deleted all auctions for Playstation 3 Pre Order units
from its website today, leaving thousands of Playstation buyers and sellers
without any place to market their wares, for now.
Referring to a forum in the eBay Trust & Safety, all auctions
that are related with Playstation 3 Pre Order have been completely removed from
their main website. Though rapid findings of eBay brought up a small number
of the auctions in question, and if you click throughout the auctions button,
it will only show this notice," The listing is not available". If you ask
eBay, the eBay will reply with a post to you and they will inform you that they are
taking big steps to protect both sellers and buyers in the eBay community due
to the limited slip and the high demand of Sony Computer Entertainment. Actually,
eBay is not allowing Pre Sale of Sony Playstation 3and the sellers who list
their name in the list of preorder providers must have physical control of the products
at all time.
Even as it maintains to be seen precisely why eBay has taken
such measures to avoid Playstation 3 Pre Order, it is improbable that eBay will
do this out of real anxiety preventing the consumer from being cheated. The whole
business model of eBay derived from the unpredictable supply and demand that
comes altogether with owning one of the largest and fastest user bases in the
World.
More possible is the fact that the new Sony Playstation 3 and
any other next generation gaming console auctions are serious objectives for
illegal product listings. Moreover, it would be moderately simple for someone
without Playstation 3 or even Playstation 3 Pre Order to list an auction, setting
up and saying that the console did not arrive when the actual pre order date
rolls around. However, with some wicked wording in the fine prints of the user,
the user could be gone to the mercy of the irretrievably unproductive (and untrustworthy)
PayPal system, the points it is essentially to becomes a crap shoot either the
buyer will accept his/her $2,000 back or not..
Moreover, in groundwork for when the Playstation 3 Pre Order consoles
really do arrive, yet, eBay is taking unparalleled action to make sure the authority
of all future next generation Playstation 3 console listings. Preceding to listing
an auction for a Sony Playstation 3, the seller must make available to eBay
with a photocopy of their ID number, drivers license number, copy of your credit
card statement and your house bill with the current address, an statement or
any receipt that shows "purchase or possession" of the Sony Playstation 3 consoles,
and written recognition of agreement with eBay's policies.
Honestly the problems expose the error in the very center
of eBay. Rationally eBay would only take the above steps to make sure true authenticity
for each and every auction that bypasses throughout their website. In light of the information that eBay does not seem to be attracting
any ways to find a center ground, It is not sure that there is solid evidence
either way.
