|

he madness surrounding Xbox 360's launch last year resulted in a mess in the world of online auctioning. Shady buyers and sellers, obnoxious asking prices (with people obnoxious enough to actually pay them) and a general bitterness amongst gamers over the amount of consoles being sold online, rather than in the hands of people who actually wanted them to, you know, play games.
eBay's started to crack down early-on with PlayStation 3 by enforcing their policy of not allowing auctions where the seller cannot guarantee the item will be shipped within 30 days of the auction's closing. Technically, sellers could have their auction last seven days, which would allow them to ship within the 30 day window, but it appears most didn't take this into consideration when listing.
