Why is Ebay still allowing concert ticket reselling ????

[cocky005]

Hi All,

This is against ebay rules and ticket companys like Ticketmaster and Ticketek also do not allow this practice.

Clearly people are profiting from this but after reporting over 60 diffeent listings myself and talking in person to a supervisor at the ticket agencies the listings are still on Ebay.

Come on ebay are you trying to profit also?

This is clearly an unfair practice as many people who would attend this concert miss out with these robbers profiting.

People buying these tickets have NO payment protection from paypal as clearly paypal only offer 45 days.

These tickets are not available for months in advance with many people being put in the situation where they could be ripped off.

Ebay you need to cancel these auctions and not allow new listings selling concert tickets to be placed on your site.

I will be watching ebay and if nothing is done will take action with Consumer Affairs and other goverment agencies.

Action must be taken now ebay so people are not being ripped off.

I reckon there'll be heaps of One Direction tix on the market just before the concert for pretty low prices anyway. They could very well be has-beens by then.

They pretty much are now.. I saw their CD in the bargain bin for $14.95.. Meanwhile, Toni Childs greatest hits is still selling for $24.95 :^O

There are now. And unfortunately ticket scalping is not illegal in most of Australia.

If you'd actually read what has been posted, you would see plenty of links to laws and ticketing agencies.

No point OP contacting the authorities as they won't care. Nor will OP after this amount of time, either.

yeah i really don't care what you think, and i never said dob on ebay but a person will get a better more accurate response out of the authorities than they will out of you

It is an offence to resell event/concert tickets in Queensland so watch your back for the police are coming to your door
