Question Re: 3070 scalping in Selling on eBay DND

3070 scalping

prettymischief — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 14:22:42 GMT

Should Ebay stop all the sales of the 30 Series Graphics cards I can understand that people want to make a profit from their items on Ebay but they are purposely monopolising the market on these cards by purposely putting a ridiculous mark-up on these cards.

Now I fully understand that there is such a high demand for these and the opportunist's are there just to basically rip people off.

I know that Ebay will not cancel or stop this action because they would not care about the "morality" of the fact that these opportunists are just ripping people off as things are only worth what people are willing to pay but what about the rest of us who were prepared to buy a card but now we cannot even get ours due to this despicable behaviour.

I hope all these sellers are happy with themselves.. As if we did not have enough stuff to deal with this year....

As you don't give any examples, it does not help but you say there is a high demand.

It does happen that when a seller is out of stock but does not want to lose their position in the listings they upthe price to a level at which no one should buy.

If they had purchases and were out of stock, and used that as a reason to cancel sales, they then get penalised with fees even though they have no sale and if paid, Paypal Fees topay as well.

There is no way that ebay can monitor prices of millions of items to decide what is a reasonable price and what is unreasonable, they simple do not know.

No this is not a HELPFUL answer, I did give examples but I knew that a "community expert" for Ebay would not understand and I DID give examples I said about the RTX Series Graphics cards which are purposely being bought up by Bots and resold on Ebay which is now nothing more than a shell of itself, Should rename is to Scambay as that;s all it is slowly becoming.
