I am still being block saying price gauging and my listing says cloth mask and no reference to virus. i followed instructions accurately. i'm sick of ebay and amazon preventing sales and buying of a product that is now mandatory for all of us to wear in public. my product is high quality, inexpensive, 5GBP per mask and its re-usable, one lasts at least a year or longer. there is no price gauging. Ebay is causing price gauging by limiting the number of sellers allowed to sell. such hypocrisy and stupidity. if you limit sales, then the only sellers allowed to sell, then supply is low, demand is high, hello---this leads to price gauging.
Nor as the pandemic.

They only let them sale "authorized sellers" that is not true. This is a real violation of all rights. Ebay does because of the power. Someone needs to do something. We pay high fees, invest our money clean. Some times we need to loose money because of the price gouging promoted by ebay not by the seller. We the people have loose our rights. I have worked hard in the right way using ebay for the last 10 years. Outstanding perfomance, transparency and still dont let me sell mask ?
What "right" is Ebay violating for you? This isn't our site, it is owned by Ebay. It is Ebay's site and Ebay's rules for their site. I don't understand how you feel they are violating your rights. You don't have the right to sell anything on Ebay unless Ebay gives that right to you. Again, their site, not ours.
It is no different than if you started selling on some other site and they didn't allow certain things from you to be listed. You don't go into any of this with some right to post anything you desire on someone else's site.

The issue is so much more complex than that.

Also Glass cleaner is an "essential" item. Never thought of glass cleaner as such. I was just told the listings that I see on now the sellers are allowed to sell these items because they were selling them before the pandemic. I personally think it has gone on long enough and needs to be updated.
It is the times we are currently in. We need to respect that instead of fighting it. Ebay will announce when they are going to reverse the March directive by them. Move on, there are other things to sell successfully on the site.
FYI, there are antibacterial glass cleaners. I use with Windex version all the time for suitable surfaces.

People want to buy these items and there is plenty to choose from if you don't like the price of what a seller is charging. There is NO MORE shortages on these items.
I know it is hard to believe but some parts of the US still are having trouble keeping a stock of these types of items. I agree it is crazy. But you are incorrect about the shortages. Even in areas you wouldn't expect. I live about 60 miles south of Seattle Washington. In a decent size little town yet it is still an issue here. I can go into our local stores, chain stores like Safeway and Walmart, and still there are empty shelves of where these kinds of things are normally stocked.
I saw wipes for the first time since about April of last year about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Not a lot of them but some. That certainly is an improvement.
We just sometimes forget when things get closer to normal in our little area of the world that it may not be true for others.
