As for other comments here, there's a lot I could say but in the interest of keeping it within the board rules I would simply ask for others to have some empathy.
There are many reasons parents may want or need to use formula. Yes for some it's a need due to medical issues etc. (I was one of those) and for some it is simply a choice for whatever their reasons - none of which are the business of anyone not directly involved in their situation.
Being a new mom is hard enough and those of us who have been there can attest there will be plenty of other things to second guess and feel guilty about along the way - how your baby gets the nutrition it needs to grow and thrive shouldn't be one of them.
This isn't some gaming system or luxury handbag that you can live without and it's not even necessarily easy to say "just buy a different brand" (again, I've been there. If you have a baby with allergies or sensitivities, this is no joke).
Regardless of your personal opinion about the best way to feed babies, I would hope we can all agree the important thing is that they do in fact get fed.
As I said in my previous post, eBay has recognized the "essential item" status of baby formula specifically in their written policies and in the past has taken action to address price gouging on these items automatically in emergency situations - there is absolutely no reason they can't do the same now.
