Price Gouging

[kmahoney857]

Why does ebay keep posting warnings about price gouging?  My prices aren't any higher than anyone else's handmade face masks.  When I contact ebay, I get a different answer every time.   This is so confusing.  If anyone is price gouging, it's ebay.  Their fees eat up most of the profits I make on the masks.  Does anyone else experience this same treatment?

Your mask needs to be listed in the correct category.

When listing cloth masks, please be sure to follow these guidelines: 

1. The listing must not make any medical claims or claims regarding their effectiveness at stopping the transmission of viruses or diseases 
2. The listing may not mention “Coronavirus”, “COVID-19” or “Covid” 
3. Do not list surgical or medical masks including N95 respirators
4. List them in this category: Health & Beauty > Health Care > Other Health Care Supplies

I wasn't aware that they were.

I'm on ebay several hours a day, every day. I've never seen a warning about price gouging.

Evidently the warnings are about face masks.
