  • EBGames is watching your PS3 E-Bay auctions

    All right, let's sum up the quote before we toss it on here: essentially, if you bought your PS3 from EBGames or Gamestop, be careful about putting it up on e-Bay. They're watching for those receipts that are mandatory to be placed up as the picture, and cancelling your auction.

    Here's the quote from Evil Avatar:

    "Today during a conference call, managers of EB Games stores in Canada were told that a list is being made of all pre-orders for Playstation 3's that have been posted for sale on eBay. Lists will be distributed to individual stores and all pre-orders that have appeared on eBay will be canceled by EB in the very near future.

    According to the information I've been given, this is a joint initiative between EB Games, Sony and eBay. eBay's new policy regarding pre-order sales has made this possible by requiring that all pre-order listings include a photo of the receipt."

    Basically, be careful if you plan to do this. If you pre-ordered elsewhere, knock yourself out - all it means is that you'll probably get higher bids, because there will be a lot less auctions.

    Contrary to rumors circulating the Internet, GameStop Corp. has told Next-Gen that it isn’t canceling PS3 pre-orders that appear on eBay.

    “Are we canceling pre-orders that appear on eBay? The answer to that is no,” said Chris Olivera, director of public & media relations at GameStop, which offically merged with EB Games earlier this year.
