Scalped Steam controllers everywhere. Why is eBay facilitating this anti-consumer practice? Is is really worth screwing over consumers just for some seller fees?
Also shame on eBay for not having a report button or an easily accessible support email. Silicon Valley profiteering at its worst.

There are reports of this everywhere and some of them will be scams for non existent items.
What others are doing is reporting them under pre-sale and 'some' eBay listings and / or on other sites have been removed.
Your best bet is if they clearly don't meet the presale policy
