Scalpers are exploiting the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, listing consoles at exorbitant prices on sites like eBay, far exceeding the recommended retail price. This is particularly frustrating for US consumers who can't yet pre-order. However, gamers are actively reporting these inflated listings, leading to some removals by eBay due to violation of their terms and conditions. While pre-orders are live in other regions, the issue persists in the UK. The fight against scalping continues, as many hope to curb these unfair practices before the console's release.
