eBay Refuses Tesco's Request to Stop Trading of Its Vouchers

Quote:The supermarket Tesco has asked auction website eBay to stop people selling its Computers for Schools vouchers - but eBay says the sales are quite legal...

Some sellers on eBay say they have many hundreds of vouchers they do not need as a result of their purchases. But trading them breaks Tesco's rules...

One of the rules of the Tesco scheme says: "Vouchers may not be transferred between schools, organisations or individuals for monetary payment or any other consideration."...

Buyers who buy the vouchers on eBay are getting a bad deal. The vouchers are being sold for more than they're worth on eBay:

Quote:To buy, for example, a computer drawing tablet worth Â£35 through the Tesco catalogue, someone would need 1,150 vouchers.

Buying those on eBay at the rate of Â£6.50 per hundred, with postage, would mean spending more than Â£74 - for something retailing at Â£35.
