Why does eBay continue to support scalping? Ebay continues to turn a blind eye to make a buck.

Beyonce tickets sold out YESTERDAY they're already on sale on ebay for doubel the price. Not just Beyonce but every concert- its disgusting. Who kicks these people off? Sorry but you cant tell me these people are legitimately "changing their minds" and have spare tickets to sell only a day after with 100%+ markup. Sickening.

If the ticket sellers see the listings and they can identify the ticket number they cancel those tickets and the buyer can not use them when they try and get in.

Other than that it is up to the buyers if they are willing to pay the excessive amounts.

There is no reason for ebay to do anything....it is not illegal to make a profit when selling tickets or anything else for that matter.

You don't hve to buy the tickets if it offends you.  If you don't want them there is sure to be someone who does..and so the cycle will continue.

I agree. I wish we could go back to the days where we had to line up for tickets...very few scalpers there. Just die hard fans!!!
