Hi All,

Prompted by a recent post on the boards, can you tell me why private sellers are allowed to list pre sale items? Doesn't this directly contradict their own policies ( Business or private seller) as these items are purchased from another supplier? 

It is very easy find these listings by searching 'pre sale'.

One seller has sold 148 items at £46 per item. Surely this would trigger an alarm bell somewhere.

Maybe Ebay have been concentrating too hard ending listings such as spatulas and cat claw scissors and have overlooked other serious offences.
