The mr fox ones only went for £2 so hopefully will disourage the seller from doing it again
has anyone ever had any success reporting these people? I had an email from sky once about a month later to say thanks for telling us but that was it!
have also come across a lot of people selling LFF tix for profit the scoundrels

this person is even worse:
Tickets to special screening of An Education starring Emma Thompson. Tickets normally cost £6.80 each, but I'm selling them for £8 a pair.

I wish people would stop doing that. I think it's the same person both time phunky... same cinema plus same price. You know theones I reported to eBay the other day... haven't even heard anything!!! The selling seems to have gone through which I thought was really annoying. What's the point of reporting if they don't action it. At least three of us reported it, that says something!
It's one of the conditions to not sell them on... never stops people! Arghhhhh!

Oh no! Makes you wonder whether you should hand out spare tickets to anyone who requests them, doesn't it? I wouldn't really want to see something with my name on it being sold on ebay.
Speaking of which, some time ago I joined the itunes page on facebook to apply for the itunes festival competitions. There were several people asking for spare tickets. One of them was later selling the tickets he got from other people on the same page. Needless to say, somebody unmasked him after a short while. The guy wasn't that clever, otherwise he would have sold the tickets on ebay or somewhere else.

I can't believe people would do this. It saddens me to think people would do this especially if they have been given to them

I think it is a sign of the times. Some people want things for nothing, then when they get them want to make a fast buck.
Ebay should stamp this out! All we can do is keep reporting it when they come up.

It would actually be worth it if eBay actually did it. Phunkyg said Sky took a month to get back to her. I couldn't even find the details to contact them else I would have reported teh eBay dude!!! Do you have any details to contact them phunkyg?
It's something that really gets me off.
