I bought tickets for a Wiggles show last month to take my disabled daughter. I was not aware at first I was on a third party ticket buying site, and paid for the tickets using PayPal.
It was only after I paid that I was sent the e-tickets, and discovered that I had been charged 30% over the ticket price for them. That's when I went searching and discovered the site I was on was well known as a site used by scalpers and that in a lot of cases the tickets sold were not even real.
The tickets did turn out to be real, but I contacted PayPal in a dispute over the extra I had been charged, what with scalping being illegal and all. But their response was that they would not return my money because I had agreed to pay the amount taken.
So it would appear that scalping is perfectly acceptable to them. While I am thankful that my daughter did not miss out, which was a fear right up until we reached the gate, to know that PayPal endorses such activity is disgusting. I imagine this post will be removed, but I will post it elsewhere if it is.
