How do you report price gouging on hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes?

[innovatilife]

I can't seem to find categories for it when reporting. What do you choose?

[trehar_4]

Even though eBay banned the sale of hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes there are still so many sellers that have auctions up.  Also continued Price  Gouging of all cleaning products alcohol, gloves, and masks as well.

most that are selling are buying up massive quantities so when the average person goes to store to get items there are none there to buy and they have to pay unwarranted prices to the pigs that are being jerks and buying it all up plus puts people out in the public more looking for products because they don't want to pay 10 dollars a roll for toilet paper on ebay and a lot more likely to catch virus its legal but not ethical at all. I call it screwing your neighbors and friends and thinking only of yourself glad ebay finally got smart and are putting a stop to it

[dakotadale]

My take don't gouge people and charge normal prices and said items will always be there said jerks can set on there mountains of toilet paper and figure out to do with it to funny so I am hoping ebay bans it altogether

Why report?? It’s not in stores!!! If people are willing to pay for a sense of comfort then I say why not?? Again, it’s not accessible anywhere on shelves so if I’m willing to pay then let me!!!

Idc nobody has the right to take advantage of the situation for record a 75-105ct. Container of the wipes 90-almost 200.00 that sure is price goughing when the regular price might just might be and is under 10 bucks. So why is Ebay still allowing this this **bleep** is not right.

[talind_84]

Id sure like to know how they are also. I did report a couple of them that was on bids on a 3 or 5 pk of wipes was 200 plus dollars come on this **bleep** needs to really stop. I had a few extra and guess what i sold them for what i bought them for it wasnt on ebay but at my cost they where sold so someone could have the chance to get some. I dont believe in nor want to see ppl taking advantage of ppl like this. They are grown ppl acting lije this how can they sleep at nite. SMH

[talind_84]

Yeah but the dang sellers on here DONT NEED to be GREEDY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION . If things was being sold at a decent and fair price us ppl wouldnt be turning ur butts in that are doing this. Not saying u are but how can u tolerate ppl doung this to ppl sorry but i cant. It sits with me just like stealing from someone does cuz thats what it amounts to.

[talind_84]

Exactly and its very wrong. They r just letying ppl rob ppl and not do anything bout it. Its horrible they said they where goung to ban all of it.

[topdollarinvestments]

Thats unfortunate for people who need them and have only ebay to shop on.  Let people sell what they want for what they can get.  If prices were higher than items wouldnt get hoarded.  

[topdollarinvestments]

How is this stealing?  What right do you have to tell me how much I can pay for an item?  Or to prevent me from getting what I need at a price Im willing to pay?  Ebay is creating the shortages, not the sellers who HAVE to make a profit.  People buy and sell for a profit every day.  Why is today any different?

[illtakeone]

I have an idea DONT BUY IT...If you dont buy it then the price will fall and you can buy it somewhere else. No one is forcing you to buy anything if you dont want it go find it yourself or just DONT BUY IT. Stop being a mini dictator and just put your dollar somewhere else. Didnt mom tell you no one likes a tatal tale.

[illtakeone]

I say we all elect you the fair police sherriff. If you dont want it go find it yourself or DONT BUY IT. The market will work itself out. No one is forcing you to buy anything

It's not just hand sanitizer now. Isopropyl alcohol can be used to make your own hand sanitizer. I've never paid more than $1.25 for a bottle of this stuff. It's being sold here for about $30.00 a bottle. eBay has been pulling down the auctions for hand sanitizer but seem to be unaware of the price gouging on alcohol. This is disgraceful.

Yes, that is true however...

1. Rubbing alcohol is NOT needed for sanitizing hands of the virus.

 - Public health experts advise that cleaning your hands with either soap and water, or an alcohol-based solution, is one of the best ways to avoid infection.

Either / Or.

2. Nobody is forcing us to buy these things, I personally would highly recommend not giving them your money. Buying from these sellers only reinforces their behavior, do not buy from them and they are stuck with the inventory, take it from me I know all too well how that feels (getting stuck with inventory that won't sell, especially when it's as a result of a brilliant idea).

I agree with what you said. Because nobody is lying, tricking, or forcing people to buy those items. They are adults and they know what the value of that item is to them. Just look at state & local tax & insurance if you want to see price gouging.  And your not being forced to buy those either, you can live somewhere else to avoid the taxes and you can buy insurance from elsewhere. But people chose to live where taxes are high just like people chose to pay $75 for Toilet Paper. They need it or else they will get sick & could die. Who are you to prevent them from taking care of themselves and their family? If someone puts Toilet Paper up for sale for $10.00, that is not price gouging! It's the buyers who make the price go higher.
