eBay, it seems, is working to get rid of preorder auctions as soon as possible. Considering the wide array of possible delays, this seems like a smart move; by allowing preorder auctions to continue, eBay would in effect be sanctioning auctions thay may result in naught but a big, smarting sense of regret in the buyer when little Johnny Seller didn't get the Wii or PS3 he wasn't guaranteed after all. It is eBay who has to deal with the fallout of angry customers when someone can't deliver, but they're dealing with the fallout right now of actions some are calling too militant. Are accusations of fraud a step too far for those behind the preorder auctions?What do you think? Is it kosher to allow preorders to be auctioned off, despite the risks? Are the risks just another part of eBaying? Or did the auction giant make a wise decision?
