eBay UK doing their part to fight SNES Classic Edition scalpers

eBay in various parts of Europe has been flooded with SNES Classic Edition listings, most of which are asking 3 times the price of the hardware. All that changed today, as there aren't any listings for the device on eBay UK. What's going on, you ask? Turns out eBay is trying to keep the scalpers from ruining the fun.

"We will remove listings for pre-release items and accessories if the release date of the item is more than 30 days away," - eBay rep

The situation will pop up again once we get within 30 days of release, but hopefully lots of people will be able to grab a preorder before then. eBay can only do so much, and I think this step certainly goes a long way.
