EB-Gamestop & eBay not conspiring to cancel PS3 pre-orders

The rumor -- PlayStation 3 pre-orders sold on eBay will be cancelled by EB-Gamestop -- was a stretch when it first surfaced two days ago, and now EB-Gamestop's director of public & media relations Chris Olivera has officially debunked it. "Are we canceling pre-orders that appear on eBay? The answer to that is no," Olivera confirmed.

eBay will continue to moderate PlayStation 3 (and Wii) pre-order auctions using these guidelines:

• Only one of each console can be listed per eBay account prior to the launch of the console
  

• The seller must only accept payment through PayPal, and have at least 50 feedback with a 98% or greater positive rating so that they qualify for PayPal Buyer Protection

• The pre-sale item must be listed in the 3, 5, 7 or 10-day formats, and cannot use Buy It Now

• The listing must include a photo of your pre-order receipt in the description
