A group of Nintendo fans on Reddit are banding together to stop Nintendo Switch 2 scalpers in their tracks. Even now, long before preorders have begun, scalpers are already listing the Switch 2 on resale sites like eBay. Listings contain assurances like "preorder confirmed," indicating that the seller doesn't have access to the item yet. These items are going for as much as $670 USD - quite a bit more than the Switch 2's base price - despite the fact that there's no guarantee the seller will actually get their hands on the console.
However, a group of Reddit users, including MrJava- (via PC Guide), have taken it upon themselves to dole out a kind of vigilante justice, seeking out and reporting Switch 2 preorder listings on eBay. Apparently, they've gotten a good result, too: the screenshot below shows six different email subject lines from eBay, each allegedly referring back to another Switch 2 scalper's listing being taken down. And they're not the only one. In the comments, several other users claimed to have done similarly, although with varying degrees of success.
Although scalping and dropshipping aren't technically against eBay's terms of service, so long as the seller doesn't...
