Preorders for the U.S. version of Nintendo Switch 2 went live yesterday night, and as anticipated, the process was disorderly. Retailers encountered technical glitches and the stock sold out rapidly, leaving some customers with their orders being revoked. On eBay, the expected surge of preorder resales from the U.S. has already started, but beware, not all listings are authentic, as some appear to be a part of an anti-scam/bot resistance movement.
Multiple individuals have paid over twice the original retail price for the console, either $449 or $499 with Mario Kart World, to acquire one. Yet, when examining the listings, there are several counterfeit Switch 2s among them. Some posts have already been deleted from the site. It’s important to mention that eBay regulations stipulate preorder listings should only be for items set to release within 40 days. As June 5 is 42 days away, it could mean these listings might get removed and re-listed later.
As you explore, you might come across a product named Switch 2 that’s priced slightly lower. However, upon reading its description, it clearly states that it doesn’t match your requirements.
As a passionate video game enthusiast, I’d like to pre-order a snapshot of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2! Please be aware that this listing is designed to combat bots and scalpers, so refunds are not available in this case. By purchasing, you will receive a .png image of the Nintendo Switch 2 model – please note that no physical console will be shipped with this order. If you have any questions or would like to make an offer, don’t hesitate to reach out!
These listings almost outnumber scalpers who are selling at marked-up prices.
All versions of the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2 share a common description, indicating that they’ll be ready for delivery around June 11th. This morning, I found the cheapest option priced at approximately $715 or best offer, which includes the console and Mario Kart World bundle. If you’re only interested in the console, it appears the lowest price is $650. Further restocks are anticipated soon, with Nintendo’s official store set to open preorders for eligible customers in May. Keep an eye on our Switch 2 restock guide for updates on availability.
The pre-orders, initially set for this month, got postponed in the US due to a shift in dates by Nintendo after President Trump increased tariffs. There was initially worry about a potential price adjustment for the console, but only the prices of some Switch 2 accessories were slightly raised to offset the impact.
