"Scalping" tickets - basically defined as reselling tickets for greater than face value - is indeed illegal in certain states. However, reselling tickets for up to face value is legal nationwide, and resale above face value is legal in most states. The eBay ticket market encourages lawful transactions and has been designed to communicate to users all state ticket resale laws that should be adhered to. Does eBay limit the maximum bid I can place on some tickets? No. Some states regulate the resale of tickets for venues located in their states. It is up to the buyer and seller to abide by these laws. If eBay is only a venue, why does it care about the few jurisdictions that do regulate ticket reselling? It's important for everyone, on and off the Internet, to respect the laws of states where they live and do business. eBay believes it is important to communicate the laws and make its users aware that they could face penalties for violating state laws regulating ticket reselling. Where can I find out which states & Canadian provinces have resale restrictions? Go to the eBay page which details the basics of the laws, or check with your state's government website directly. What does "face value" of the ticket include? Does it include the service charges and taxes I paid when I originally purchased the ticket? The "face value" of the ticket includes the price of the ticket and any service charge and tax charged by the original ticket provider that is printed on the ticket. As with any eBay listing, the buyer can also be charged actual postage costs, but no additional "handling" fees. |
