Ebay were being very careful to ensure that people were not listing fraudulent PS3 game consoles. They were trying their hardest only to allow sellers with good positive feedback to sell the console, as these were the sellers they could trust the most.. Unfortunately, despite Ebay introducing these restrictions, when the PlayStation 3 console was released, there were over three thousand of them listed. People who had bought them for five to six hundred dollars were able to sell them for hugely inflated prices. Supply and demand was working.
