eBay gets strict with PS3 / Wii listings

[wraggster]

Online auction house eBay has made a policy clarification regarding the PS3 and Wii pre-orders, so as not to have the same problems that occurred with the Xbox 360 launch (it almost did). Only experienced eBay sellers (with at least 50 feedback and 98% positive rating) can place a PS3 or Wii console for auction before launch, only one console per account, the picture must be of your pre-order receipt, and you can not set a "Buy it Now" option.

Reasons why we love this:

It discourages fake listings and encourages fulfilled orders.
Desperate gamers who are willing to spend thousands of dollars for an early PS3 can still do so.
Kudos to eBay for setting up guidelines to handle the impending console launch fiasco.

Thats what I should do, buy a PS3, which Sony losses money on, then sell it on Ebay, and make 400+ for it.

Making money at Sony's expense, gotta love it!!
