eBay announced late last week that it will be taking down all wristbands that were used for queuing at Queen Elizabeth’s lying-in-state state at the Westminster Hall in London. The wristbands were being sold as memorabilia and reportedly being sold for prices as high as £70,000.
eBay started banning the wristbands after the price hit more than £65,000. People have secured the wristbands to enter the hall and pay their last respect to Queen Elizabeth. Now the American e-commerce site is removing all the listings saying these are against their policies.
As per BBC News, the bands are non-transferable, and although some people may get it, entry to Westminster Hall was still not guaranteed. While eBay has removed many listings already, there are still some Queen Elizabeth bands on the site as some sellers have uploaded them under the new listing.
The company said that those that have managed to remain on the site do not have an active link to the auction or “buy it now” page. Thus, the transaction will not go through.
Because it is an object with historical value, many people want to have it for their collection and keepsake. In fact, people are placing bids for the auctions even for thousands of pounds. As mentioned before, the bids reached £70,000 before eBay took them down.
"These items are against our policies and we are removing them," eBay’s spokesman said regarding their move to ban the bands’ listings.
The wristbands were given out to the public while lining up at Westminster Hall. This allows them to leave the long queue for a moment to buy some food and drink or take a bathroom break.
Apparently, some people took advantage of the event and decided to make money from the bands that has connection with the historic funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The Mirror reported that eBay has seen a huge increase in the number of listings since the Queen passed away.
People were posting remembrance items such as coins, commemorative mugs, bags, and many others. In any case, the wristbands were distributed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to help manage the large crowds who come to see the Queen as she lies in state.
