eBay UK blocks PS3 auctions
Until February, anyway.
Updated on
First eBay US introduced restrictions on the sale of PS3s - now eBay UK has banned users from offering them altogether.
As of yesterday morning, no auctions for PS3 units or games will be allowed on the site until February 2007 - which is when pre-orders will open in Europe.
Even then, each seller will only be able to offer one PS3, and it must have been purchased within the EU. Sellers must also guarantee dispatch within 30 days, provide a photo of the purchase or pre-order receipt and can only accept payment via PayPal.
In short, if you're looking to buy a PS3 on eBay UK you're out of luck - well, er, in theory, anyway...
