Price gouging and inappropriate listings on eBay continue for masks and sanitizer

[sailsseas]

Why does eBay continues to permit the sale of n96 masks and other items after they announced that these items would be taken down.  It is so wrong for sellers to profit during g this pandemic. eBay please encourage sellers to donate their masks to healthcare workers and people who are immune comprised and those with pre existing conditions. PEOPLE ARE DYING AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE risking their own lives in the care of Covid19 patients. 
I saw a mask sell for close to $10,000 today on eBay. This is wrong.

I've reported several masks and they were not removed. Toilet paper listings seem to get taken down, but somehow the masks are allowed to remain. So wrong!!

You dont really think the buyer paid that do you? I notice most of these auctions attract sport bidders.

I was on another marketplace platform looking for tofu today, and one seller wanted $7.50 for a 12-ounce package. $7.50! Now, I call that price gouging!

I don't look for masks, because I don't need any--since I'm staying at home--and I don't look for toilet paper, since I have enough to last me for awhile, but tofu? Yeah, I need tofu. Somebody ought to look into that.

They are still removing those items.

Just did a search and out of 5 results I checked, 3 had already been removed.

Ugh - TOFU?

May as well eat an eraser.

I suppose it might seem that way to the unrefined palate, or if it's prepared by someone who possesses no culinary skills.

Be careful with that soy stuff. If you have low thyroid or hypothyroidism it will make it worse.

I have a refined palate, but it's also refined to 'just say no' to tofu. 😀

If we all ate the same stuff, it would be a boring world!

Tofu is good braised or marinated in sriracha - as a food stuff it tends to soak up whatever you cook it in.

I 'just say no' to most meat, though I do love sausage and bacon (and scrapple) - must be my peasant roots.

OK, we're talking about food.  Does that mean the cat pictures are coming soon? 🐾

[trehar_4]

People are price gouging the sale of all kinds of food items, OTC medications, and health supplements as well.  Anything to turn a buck into $20

[earlyant-77]

Now scrapple is tasty! And 'bacon'(I love slab bacon the best) ..... well ... I'm sure that will be a trigger word to some like 'feedback' is to others someone.

But if I saw tofu in my fridge, then I would probably use it as a sponge.

WHO CARES? I DON'T, AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

You're the one who objected to my post about tofu, and now you post this? I guess I should've posted that as my reply to you! 😂

Yeah, I don't have either of those maladies, or I wouldn't be eating "that soy stuff," would I?   🤣
