PS3 presales restricted

This post was written in March 2007; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

If you’re thinking of selling a PS3 before their release later this month, you need to check out eBay’s listing rules. Sellers must offer Paypal as the only payment method, and can only list as auctions for periods of three days or longer. Sellers with more than one console to sell must have more than 50 feedbacks, 98% positive. In addition, all sellers must comply with the pre-sales regulations.

Of course, if you *are* planning to get rich quick by selling a PS3 or two, you might like to remember that some sellers in the States didn’t do quite so well as they had hoped.

In the US sales of the PS3 on eBay were slow, with many sellers returning them to stores as supply from the manufacturer actually kept up with supply.

    [...] This shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone: PS3 presales, for example, were restricted to Paypal payments only. Similarly, new sellers on .com have been required to accept Paypal or hold a credit card merchant account since January. If this development of those policies protects buyers and stems the “I was ripped off on eBay” stories in the press, it’ll be good for sellers too. [...]
