    Interesting?

    I wonder if the Power Sellers auctions got canned as well?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    I always thought that you had to have whatever you were selling "in hand" and that "pre-sales" were not allowed.

    Is this because they are up for pre-sale?

    Didn't know pre-sales were against regulations on the bay.

    They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven.... but they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.

    Smoebody here said smoething about 30 days to execute. I'd go and look on Ebay, but I'm too lazy - I'll just take their word for it.

    For your viewing pleasure, per ebay:

    "Pre-sale listings are those that describe items for sale that are not in the control or possession of the seller at the time of the listing. These listings generally consist of items that are sold in advance of a delivery date to the public.

    eBay permits Pre-sale listings only on a limited basis. The seller must guarantee that the item will be available for shipping within 30 days from the date of purchase (i.e., the day the listing ends or the date the item is purchased from a store front listing). The seller must also clearly indicate within the listing the fact that the item is a pre-sale item with a delivery date that indicates the item will be shipped by the 30th day from the end date of the listing. Additionally, this text must be no less than the default font size of the eBay Sell-Your-Item form. Currently, the default font size is HTML font size 3.

    Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

    Listing cancellation

    Limits on account privileges

    Account suspension

    Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings

    Loss of PowerSeller status "

    I think the key is, the seller must say it will be delivered within 30 days. If that is not stated, it's not allowed.

    It's about time eBay started cracking down on these sleazy pre-sale auctions.

    It's difficult to understand the rush to buy these sets on the secondary market, especially since they are still available at issue price from the Mint !!!

    You have to be able to ship within 30 days. The silver sets aren't expected to be shipped from the mint until december. I applaude this decision.
    Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.
