eBay

Why is it that I list Lysol spray cheap at auction or buy it now and it gets flagged and I get warned yet others are listed at horrible price gouging prices on eBay? I’m offering it at 1/10of what they are asking, I bought a large pack at Costco before the pandemic and my husband hates the smell. Thought I would pass a good deal on but obviously eBay would prefer the outrageous prices.

Because I drive the speed limit and every day these formula one drivers in training zoom past me... They come right up on me and cut in and out of lanes and drive a good 10-20 miles over the speed limit, a lot of times nothing happens... So back when I was young I thought I may be a dummy, so I started to drive like that too... Somehow the police caught me but not them, I did not understand this but when the judge explained to me that one or two more of these incidents they would take my license, why that is when magic happened and I slowed it down.

So my simple advice to you, don't do it.

They will probably catch you and not them.

And they will explain to you, one or two more of these incidents and you will lose your selling privileges.

You see it is exactly like driving too fast, not a good idea.

The thing is, when they give you those take downs they don't say it's "banned", they say it violates "price gouging". The reason is your competition is reporting you and eBay is just accepting all reports as the gospel and taking the listings down automatically. They don't have the man power to investigate.

Ebay is taking down the banned goods but lumping all the violations under the Price Gouging category. So your item was not removed because of the price you set, but because eBay banned these items, and others, on March 5. Here is the announcement.
