Similar to the scalping of tickets to the Nipsey Hussle memorial service a few eBay users planned to auction the memorial booklets for prices upwards of $500, TMZ reports. To combat this, eBay issued a statement to the website to reassure consumers that this action is prohibited, indefinitely.
“These booklets are prohibited under eBay’s policies,” the statement reads. “Any items that attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering are not allowed to be sold on eBay.” Additionally, eBay plans to send personalized messages to those that posted the memorial booklet for sale as to the specifics of their guidelines on profiting off of a tragedy.
As noted by HipHopDX, eBay alongside Craigslist prohibited the sale of tickets to the memorial service, which was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Per the Los Angeles Times, a bundle of four tickets were priced at $400.
