eBay began removing Steam Frame reservation listings after users on /r/steam organized mass reports once Valve sent reservation and waitlist emails for the new VR headset.
Listings had sought about $1,700 for the 256GB kit and roughly $2,000 for the 1TB model, versus Valve prices of $1,059 and $1,299, with some offers apparently already sold.
Community members also traced some sellers' Steam usernames from eBay posts and started reporting those accounts to Valve, aiming to hit both listings and the reservations behind them.
Valve had tried to curb scalping with a randomized sign-up and waitlist system tied to Steam accounts, but the resale attempts show scarcity still created a secondary market.
