I think eBay would prefer to cancel listings rather than deal with loads of blag bids and problems with fees, non-paying bidder disputes dragging on for months etc.

Official statement from eBay now posted:
Dear all,
Today you have made it very clear to us that our previous decision to allow the sale of LIVE 8 tickets on eBay.co.uk was not one that the vast majority of you agreed with. As a result of this clear signal from the Community we have decided to prohibit the resale of LIVE 8 tickets on the site.
Although the resale of tickets is not illegal, we think that this is absolutely the right thing to do. We have listened to the views you expressed on the discussion boards and in the many emails you have sent to us. We shall be working over the next few hours to remove all LIVE 8 ticket listings from the site.
Thanks for taking the time to contact us and make your views heard,
Regards,
Doug McCallum
Managing Director, eBay (UK) Ltd.
On behalf of the whole eBay.co.uk team
That is wank, fair enough it is their site and I'm sure they can pick and choose which auctions they stay or which go. However to back down to general demand and from people mearly jumping on the bandwagon who for one have never probably used ebay before or heard of the Internet is taking the piss.
STFU its the right thing to do, also that guy must be making a mint
