Baby Formula Sold on E-bay

Just curious if anyone else feels the same way. Currently we are in a baby formula shortage, family’s like my own are in need of it and it seems that people are selling baby formula on E-Bay for double the normal cost, if not more. 
It’s not right when folks are trying to make a profit off of our shortages, especially when it involves our children. 
Then to top it off we’re all struggling to get by with all the other expenses related to the current inflation status. 
I don’t know which route to go, but I wouldn’t mind NOT seeing baby formula sold on E-bay due to the current demand. 
Any thoughts??

Luckily, we are given the choice to buy or not from any store we choose

It's too bad this prescient 2020 introduction is not in production in time for this bizarre formula shortage, but my guess is that it will be accelerated.

I don't want to sound insensitive, but many of us were bottle fed cow's milk and are still alive and healthy 60-80 years later. Realizing that some tummies are tender, soy milk has been another option.  While eBay allows sellers to set their own prices, if you encounter some seriously exaggerated prices, you can report the listings for gouging. If eBay receives enough reports, and decides this is an essential product, they may decide to put baby formula on their list.
