Price gouging

This is just another problem with eBay. They allow this kind of **bleep** to occure. They claim that listings are screened before they list them (at least that is what customer service tells you when you complain that your listings aren't showing up), but yet the so called screeners allow this kind of price gouging to occure.

Price gouging

It's crazy those sellers list at those prices, but do you think people are going to pay those prices?

 

You can report those listings using:

 

1. Listing practices
2. Search and browse manipulation
3. Other search and browse manipulation
4. "Continue" to open Comment box.


Report "coronavirus price gouging" in the comment block.

Have a great day

Price gouging

eBay doesn't screen each listing before it goes live. It will see if any banned word is there and not let you list but those type of things aren't caught that often. Report the listing and if you don't see changes you can always file a complaint with your state attorney generals office for price gouging, if your state has a law on the books about it. The more complains eBay gets about this, the more likely they will flat out bar any seller from listing toilet paper until this coronavirus is done with.

Price gouging

eBay is actively ending listings that are related to COVID-19 Price Gouging.

If you wish to help eBay police the 1.3 Billion active listings, eBay employees have given guidance on how to report these listings (new guidance as of March 16)

All listings have a "Report Item" link.

On a desktop/laptop this link can be found directly above the description on the right

On mobile, the button is "Report this Item", scroll down past "About the seller"

Use the following Menu options:

Prohibited And Restricted Items
Illegal Items and items encouraging illegal activity
Other Illegal activity concerns

Price gouging

I already reported to eBay. I doubt they will do anything about it. I don't have much faith in the powers that be working for eBay.
