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?

A) You knew very well the price wouldn’t stay at $0.99.

B) You really want to save lives? Donate them to a healthcare facility. Masks usage in the regular population only creates a false sense of safety and have a much lower rate of efficiency because they are not worn, adjusted or removed properly. The best preventative tools for regular people remain soap, water and social distancing.

You need to understand this:

1- I support you on your empathy towards "saving lives". 

2- A private person is not the same as a public person in this circumstances. 

Allow me to explain:

One nurse, medic, paramedic, police, fireman, any person involved in saving multiple lives at the hospital or ambulance, etc  deserve these masks.

It sounds harsh, criminal, lacking empathy towards other human beings, but the reality is that these PATRIOTS are dying because there's no inventory enough so they can use a mask every time they meet a sick person they get in contact with as established by the medical protocols. 

If we, as civilians, not involved in this effort don't have masks, our bad, we have shelter in place for that, but please, give those masks or any other medical supplies to the real heroes fighting this silent and mortal virus. 

Thank you!

You blatantly break the rules and list N95 masks which are desperately needed by health care workers (who are dying as they try to save people who refuse to stay home) and first responders. Then come here wanting pity because you got caught for what ended up being price gouging and use the guise of being directed by GOD as an excuse!! Wow!

The last thing God would want is you trying to get top dollar for them on ebay, even if they were allowed! Health care workers and first responders are way to busy to come here looking for them and would never have time to get into a bidding war. The general public doesn't need N95 masks! SHAME ON YOU!!! Your excuses are very upsetting and so is trying to profit from a pandemic. American family members are supposed to BE STAYING HOME!!! They don't need them. Why don't YOU think about the ramifications of a health worker having to save infected people without proper protection because you selfishly list them on ebay rather than sell them for a fair price to that sector or donate. My nephew is an ER worker and has to wear the SAME surgical mask for a WEEK because they can't get any N95s!!!!!!!! I worry about him EVERY DAY!!! Again......WOW!!!!!

I hate to bust your bubble, but when eBay FORBIDS something from being listed, it doesn't matter if it saves lives or not: YOU CANNOT LIST THIS ITEM. You listing was pulled because of this. It doesn't matter what you think because eBay is in control of this site, not you. It isn't your site, it belongs to eBay. They make the rules. If you want to make your own site and sell it then you can. eBay will kick you off if you relist this item PERIOD.

What part of that do you not understand: THIS ITEM HAS BEEN BANNED FROM THIS PLATFORM NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE IS!

[computeraidllc]

If it gets relisted, eBay will pull it again. This item is not allowed on this platform right now. It is like selling a package of cigarettes which eBay doesn't allow ether! DO NOT RELIST!

[momogoodies1]

You are selling prohibited items period end of story

[momogoodies1]

They are prohibited as far as the rest of it mute point they will pull down your account

[tdumonde2014]

God said "Go forth and make a profit"? Wow!

Look I am getting the feeling that I am in discussion with some of these Fake Bidders.  Fake Buyers.

I am standing in the sun light shouting that these Fakes are causing more harm than good.

If as a Faker you are proud of it.  Then stand up and come into the sunlight too.  Proudly proclaim your Actions.

Proudly show yourself.

Never paid? This buyer left glowing feedback.

eBay banned these items on March 5th so you shouldn't have listed it at all as you violated eBay's policy.  Stop with all the false drama.  No one is going to die because they didn't get your masks.  If you are that concerned I'm sure that there are plenty of people in your own community that would  benefit with your donation.  Try giving them to your neighbors as then you won't need to ship anything and I'm sure they would be grateful.

I would not let that threat prevent me from trying to save American lives.

I am not going to repeat all the things I have already mentioned.  If you are really trying to understand my concern.  Then please read all the posts.

And understand that each and ever Fake Bidder raising bid from a listing of $0.99 to $300.  Is causing Americans to die.  For what reason?

Did god tell you what price to sell them for?  Or what auction settings to use to make sure the most truly needy could win the highest bid?

[aproudparent2010]

It's not your price that was the problem.

The problem is these items are on the Banned list
