Determining Price Gouging

Who is determining what amount an item is selling for is price gouging? And who determines the products that are essential? I've just had kids multi vitamins listings, elderberry, and vitamin C listings taken down due to a price gouging policy? I've sold many and have all positive feedbacks from buyers.  Besides competitors and random users using the price gouging report option, who sits determining what is too much to sell an item for? Sellers are selling the same items for double the amount.. I just dont agree with this. I sell on Ebay to try and make extra money. I dont sell on ebay to lose m ok ney or break even..

Deflecting from what??  What are people doing??  Are you aware that you joined a platform for what it was designed to do.  Share/seek information.  Not weed through someones that is here for a different reason to insert themself. Wow.

I’m unsure of why you ask for information and when they do a courtesy of providing, you continue trying to engage them into a debate about it. Take the info for what it is. Or more importantly, ignore it since clearly you don’t want it.

You describe part of the purpose of what forums like this are for.  The sharing of information, viewpoints and facts.  Sometimes when someone shares information they believe to be correct, they are incorrect.  They misunderstand in others words.  This poster, while firm in their beliefs, misunderstand.

 

No one has asked for your advice or your interpretation of ebay’s policies.

No one asked you for your advice or interpretation either?  I am not at all trying to be rude or flip, but  are you saying it is OK for you to do this but not me?  Why would that be?  Do as I say not as I do???  You are aware these are DISCUSSION forums.  You will find that most threads are full of similar posts once you spend more time here.

 

This is a post to share i information that someone else may find useful. Clearly you do not.

Certainly that is always possible.  But when their conclusion on what that information is saying is incorrect, it is important to bring that to like so the misunderstanding doesn't travel on to other readers.

 

 So, I’m also unsure why you make yourself part of it. I’m sure there are other forums for debating or sharing your opinions of what others should be doing with their belongings, how you do things, or since someone doesn’t see as you, they are wrong. 

There is no need for me to go elsewhere as this is a forum for just what you describe and more.

 

It’s not this one. Hopefully of you have useful information to share, you will do so. Otherwise, allow others to use this forum as a way to help and inform each other. Thanks.

Interesting.  I get it that you joined the forums this year and posted a few times.  Maybe with a bit more experience you will widen your viewpoint to allow for other opinions, viewpoints and information shared.

The other poster had been price gouging on some of their previous listings.  If you'd do a little more research before you assume you know what is going on it might be helpful.  The poster you are so passionately defending is openly taking advantage of people during a worldwide pandemic.  They are breaching rules set for by Ebay not to mention breaking some actual laws on price gouging.

 

I'm not at all sure what your agenda is here since you are new to the forums and this is my first interaction with you.  I have no idea if you know the other seller personally or just share some of their same viewpoints on price gouging.

 

But either way, Ebay has banned such items as they were trying to sell and they have policies in place about price gouging.  That seller defied both.

Ok.  The only things posted by anyone you are seeking debates and arguments and sharing your opinions of what others should be doing, is factual information.  You’ve been provided that.  Yes, I came to the forum seeking information on multiple topics and shared an experience and information related it to it that other buyers and sellers may have interest in or experienced as well as buyer and seller.  Unfortunately, yes, I see there are others that use it for other purposes and that if I want to get the information I’m seeking, I have to weed through Someone’s opinions on what i buy or how I should spend my money.  It’s not factual or useful information that anyone can use that’s relevant to the topic.    If not possible for you or not interested, I think it’s reasonable suggest that you go elsewhere where people are looking to debate and argue their opinions, even if it’s another post on the forum.

Clearly we have a failure to communicate and you see what you want to see in what others post so you can argue with them.

 

I wish you well.  Stay safe and healthy.
