I looked at a few of the watches on EBay and see that some of the people on eBay posted pictures containing their order numbers. Don't you think Apple would see these on EBay and just cancel their orders?
I meant Apple cancel their orders because they are trying to resell them. I am sure there must be some stipulation in their fine print of their user agreement saying they can cancel an order if this occurs.
Order Acceptance/Confirmation For Online and Call Center Purchases
Once we receive your order, well provide you with an email order confirmation. Your receipt of an order confirmation, however, does not signify Apples acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell; we are simply confirming that we received your order. The Apple Store reserves the right at any time after receiving your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. If Apple cancels an order after you have already been billed, Apple will refund the billed amount.
Consumers Only
The Apple Store sells and ships products to end-user customers only. You may not purchase products at the Apple Store for resale, and we reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if we suspect you are doing so. And were pretty good at figuring that out . . .
Perhaps not, but lack of said fine print doesn't mean they can't reserve the right to cancel preorders if they believe the items are being bought by speculators and profiteers rather than customers who want the product. Until the credit card is actually charged, they can probably do whatever they want legally. You haven't "bought" it legally until the credit card is charged and the product ships. Until then, technically speaking, you own nothing to actually sell.No, not if customers sell them. If I buy something from Apple as a customer, there's no fine print saying I can't sell it to someone else.
I am not sure that is the case when you don't actually own the item yet. That is like me trying to sell a car before I have paid for it and done the paperwork. Say I want a Ferrari. I found a rare one and want to buy it. Then before doing the paperwork I put it up for sale on an auction site with the vin# for more money. You don't think the dealer that actually owns the car can do anything about that? HmmmNo, not if customers sell them. If I buy something from Apple as a customer, there's no fine print saying I can't sell it to someone else.

I think there is an agreement somewhere prohibiting exporting outside the country where the product is intended. There may be a clause somewhere.
My thought is this. If they are canceling orders due to people having one extra watch ordered, too many on one credit card, or other reasons that have been confirmed on these forums, then they are trying to free up some supply. This seems like an easy way to free up more to me. Why target a family that ordered one watch too many and not scalpers?
So in other words, you're hoping Apple will cancel the orders only so you can get your Watch earlier.
That's twisting what was actually said.
What the post is saying is that rather than risk ticking off customers who may be legitimately buying to consume, by cancelling orders that could POSSIBLY be for resale purposes based on flimsy evidence, go after the obvious cases of scalping instead. The info is right out there in the open on EBay, there is no speculation involved. Right now what's already happened is that customers claiming legitimate purchases have had orders randomly canceled above what apparently is a 2 per household limit when enforced the way they've been enforcing it.
