The listing you are concerned with is currently at 2.75, no one is getting rich off that listing. On an auction, from what I've seen, Ebay doesn't seem to take action until or unless the time gets to a ridiculous $$ value. So that is most likely why it is still active.
Another thing that may interest you is that even when a listing actually gets sold for an outrageous $$ value, Ebay can and does cancel those transactions. They don't keep the FVF either.
I know it is easy to blame Ebay for everything and certainly they most likely could do a better job on items that should be removed but they have removed many and continue to do so. It is unlikely that no matter what Ebay does they won't make everyone happy. We are a diverse group of people with all kinds of opinions and observations.
That listing should have been removed simply because hand sanitizer is supposed to be banned on ebay, NOT because its at a low price right now. Look at the picture. Its hand sanitizer not soap.
Yes that listing is at 2.75 right now but obviously you are dreaming if you think ebay will be able to jump in and remove it when the price gets too high. Ebay most likely wont be able to remove it in time because most likely the price wont hit obscene levels until the last few seconds of the auction. If you have ever sold anything through an auction that was a highly wanted item you would know by now that the people paying crazy prices wait until the last few seconds of the auction to bid. Please tell me your magic solution how ebay can jump in and end the auction in time when the gouged prices don't occur until the last seconds of the auction.
There is no need to get rude. I simply shared some information with you and some of my opinions. You don't need to agree with me, but you also don't need to be rude.
Maybe this information will help you to get a better understanding.

I wasnt trying to be rude at all but if anyone was rude it was you telling me "Maybe this information will help you to get a better understanding" and then listing a bunch of things for me to read as if youre the teacher and Im a grade school student. If not rude, then definitely condescending. Anyway have a good weekend and stay safe and healthy.
It wasn't meant that way. I did try and lessen your need to read so I ID'd the specific posts on each for this subject we are discussing. You expressed a desire to know more so I provided you with some information directly from Ebay. Of course completely your choice if you want to read it or not. But it would answer some of your concerns.

Ebay could be doing a much better job wording what they are communicating to sellers that are having listings removed.
This is NOT personal. Ebay announced on March 5th that face masks were banned for the time being on Ebay. So they are just trying to get these listings off the site. But this is in no way a personal attack on you. I know it feels that way but it isn't.
@connies251 wrote:Then I would like to know why there are so many face mask still listed. Also they should say no mask are to be sold on eBay, not that I am price gouging. I got no email saying not to sell them on eBay just that I am price gouging.
I don't disagree with you. In fact I've said the same thing many times on this thread and others.
