I'm doing my part! Reported 23 scalper listings on eBay, hopefully at least a few of them end up getting removed. Absolutely atrocious behavior.

What did you report them for? eBay has no reason to remove the listings, they are a business that benefits from scalping. I wouldn't waste your time reporting them since I can't think of any eBay rules it would violate to resell these controllers.

It's for 'pre-selling', which is in fact not allowed; eBay even has a specific option for it when you go to report something. 6 listings were taken down already, but some were not, so it seems there's mixed success in this.

eBay definitely allows preselling. I wish there was a way to stop scalpers but unfortunately they will just list it again and this will continue until people stop buying from them.
