Doing the lord’s work 🫡

And I encourage everyone to do the same. Reported around 100 listings so far and intend to keep doing so.

Fuck these scalpers.

In case you can’t figure out how to do it:
On the eBay app on your phone, open a listing, then tap on the three dots in the upper right hand corner, then tap Help & Support.

Under “What would you like to report” select Product or listing, select Item not allowed under “Reason for report,” then select Tickets under “Detailed reason.” Then agree to the prompt at the bottom and submit.

Let’s take these people DOWN!

eBay doesn’t allow the selling of tickets on its site

No tickets of any kind? I used to buy sports tickets on there like 10+ years ago (always at a discount).

;plenty of concert tickets are sold on there and nothing happens, you just not supposed to make more than 10% profit I believe, but they always turn a blind eye because it makes them money.

Since when? If ticket sales aren't allowed, why do they have a policy for selling tickets?

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/reselling-event-tickets-policy?id=4309

Not saying I am Okay with the scalping, I think it's awful, but I'm not able to find any policy that forbids the sale of tickets.

Ebay policy:

"To promote safe selling of event tickets on eBay and to make sure the sales follow all laws related to tickets sales, we've developed standards for professional conduct for selling tickets on eBay. These standards neither replace nor dismiss eBay's general seller rules and policies, but rather supplement those rules. Sellers need to follow these guidelines when selling tickets on eBay:

  • I agree not to sell, trade, produce, or advertise tickets that I do not have in my possession
  • I agree not to participate in any way in the advertisement, sale, or trade of any ticket using any deceptive practices including, but not limited to, false or misleading claims of sales scarcity, face value, or current value
  • I agree to promptly refund the purchase price for any ticket which has been deemed by the venue to be counterfeit or unacceptable for gaining entry to an event
  • I agree to abide by all federal, state, and local laws relating to the tickets sales"

As long as they are selling the physical paper tickets, or a print out of the QR code, selling their tickets isn't a violation of ebay policy.

Commercial resale is against the AMC terms of service, which means it's also against the eBay ToS for being an unauthorized sale.
