THIS IS Price Gouging?? Starting bid $0.99, free USPS priority, next day, 1 day auction!

[tubetimenow]

I listed a box of Milwaukee N95 masks:

Listed as a 1 day Auction!
Starting bid at $0.99!
Free Shipping!
Mailed USPS Priority!
Mailed next day!
10% of sale going to relief Fund!

WOULD YOU SAY I WAS PRICE GOUGING?

It looks to me that the Gougers are the FAKE bidders that raise the bid price, bidding out needing legit American Buyers.  Then these FAKE bidders contact eBay to report price gouging. When eBay removes the listing the seller is charged a 10% final value fee, of a value that has been inflated by these Fake Bidders. Thus, since the final value has been FAKE BIDDER inflated to a Price Gouging status, it Stands To Reason that a final value fee of 10% eBay charges seller for that removed listing, should also be classified as Price Gouging. 

The listed item I mentioned at the begining:

1 day Auction!
Starting bid at $0.99!
Free Shipping!
Mailed USPS Priority!
Mailed next day!
10% of sale going to relief Fund!

?IS PRICE GOUGING??

Was bidded up to $300 with 4 hours left.

EBay removed listing.  Here is what that accomplished:

1. thru no fault of mine,is charged $30.

2. Needing legit American bidders are FAKE BIDDER priced out.

3.  EBay collects inflated profit on FAKE BIDDER inflated value.

Imagine if these Priced out true American Bidders or a family member, was to get infected, or God Forbidden, dies.

Can you imagine the ramifications?

Yes, you would be gouging. When people get paranoid and are scared for their lives they will bid crazy prices. Listing at auction is taking advantage of those people. Don't think starting at 99 cents is a good deed because we both know you are expecting exorbitant prices at the end of those auctions.

Your listing violated Bay policy. 

The recent eBay announcement clearly states that no listings of N95 masks are permitted, regardless of price:

Effective immediately, eBay will block new listings and start to remove listings that sell:

Health care masks including N95/N100 and surgical masks

I definitely do not agree with all the fake outrage of price gouging and reporting. That being said, you have no right to complain about the fees because eBay as well as all other platforms have been very clear in stating not to list this stuff right now. If you don't want to pay the fees, then don't list them. It's pretty simple. If you don't agree with the new policies, that is your right. But it is extremely foolish to ignore them, which is why you got burned. Bummer.

@tubetimenow  if you have extra masks then donate them to  hospitals so people on the front lines can be protected. 

Be like this guy>>

You listed something that was against current eBay policy - don’t jump on here to complain because you got caught...

[terrycece62]

You are not to list masks at all on eBay it was announced about a month ago,
LISTING N95 MASKS STRIKEN FROM EBAY DURING THIS NATIONS HEALTH CRISIS PLEASE STOP until the crisis has passed
Better yet donate them 2 your local hospital

Mailed next day, because only interested in $?

10% donated to Relief Fund, because only interested in $?

You list an item that has been banned for a month and you got caught, good.

They should charge you double for listing a banned item and suspend your account forever.

Greed got the best of you!!!! I wish it had cost  you more and were suspended for violating the rules.

[chapeau-noir]

Bringing a deity into this is specious.  Besides Hobby Lobby already tried that gambit.  Didn't work.

[tubetimenow]

I did donate a box to Local Utility workers.

And 2 masks each to 5 friends.

And felt an urgent need to have one of my 2 boxes of 10, go to a unknown needing American.  After praying to God to direct these to true need.

And to those who say I did it for $.

I say, just because that's where your thoughts go to first.  I am glad you did not get these.  Because that is not where any carrying person begins and ends.

This isn't about price gouging. You cannot list N95 masks. These were banned by eBay over a month ago. It doesn't matter the price, you are not allowed to sell them on this platform at the moment. DO NOT RELIST IT. eBay will kick you off the platform if you do!

[tubetimenow]

What about the average American family that needs them.

Don't we see, it is these FAKE BIDDERS making the prices inflated 

I am not complaining about the fee   I only mention to point out the hypocritical eBay policy.

People please, people are dying.  What are you doing to help them?

Inflating the prices beyond their ability to acquire?
