how can ebay still allow ''some sellers'' to list N95 masks while removing other listings ?

[hiser_industries]

blows my mind that identical listings for masks were removed by ebay  while others are allowed to continue and even relist.. any given day you can search ebay  ''US''  for'' N95 masks'' and find over 2,000 listings.  95% of those are price gouging and yet they are allowed to continue selling while others were/are  kicked off. (Ebay dosent mind collecting the associated seller fees on these items either. )   I realize there are folks whoe have the funds and wish to purchase these masks and sanitizers for the safety of their own families. So its good that ebay allows ''some sellers'' to still provide those to the public at whatever price.

Has any ebay sellers whos listings were deleted/banned  tried other avenues of selling their n95 or sanitizer products to the public ?

There's a seller in NY with a listing of 1,800 3M n95 masks listed for $70K

Forget that it is still listed after days, how have authorities not sized the goods? He literally has a photo of a pallet of boxes while healthcare workers are getting infected saving his friends in the city.

Seize? That is $3.5o per mask which is not price gouging. The guy has $65,000 invested in the masks and you believe they should seize them?? Why don't you ask why Billionaire Bankers in NYC and Billionaire ex Mayor Michael Bloomberg who just spent billions on a failed election campaign...why isn't he using his lear jets and connections to help the people of new York. Wait for the Gov to come banign on your door for any extra food... make sure you give it all to them CB...

I sell NFL JACKETS AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD 49ERS AND CHIEFS JACKETS WHEN THE SUPER BOWL CAME.  SO EBAY.. I'M WAITING NOW FOR THAT  CONTROL … CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL.

10,000 listings removed... 10,000 more who get the virus and spread the virus...  thanks ebay.    The market works quite well if you let it.

I could have gotten all the masks anyone needed at a very fair price and no gouging but since I can't sell them on ebay.. WHY BOTHER??  Thanks Ebay!!  EVERYONE COULD HAVE BENEFITED.. WE COULD HAVE SAVED LIVES.. WE COULD HAVE STOPPED THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS..BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I would have had to use my Citicard to buy the masks and they charge  me 28% interest on the card.. NOW THAT IS PRICE GOUGING.!!!

I had a few 3m n95 masks listed yesterday, since I seen so many of the same items still listed. I listed at only $24.00 for two masks . eBay took my listing down. Yet still has many others selling for way more. I have a perfect rating selling on eBay and would never take advantage of a awful situation. eBay should stay out of all legitimate transactions and play fair

34 states have price gouging laws.  You need to report these listings to the state's AG - take a screen shot .  Many AG have contacted eBay.  It was all over the news yesterday -- the companies that have  egregious price gouging.  eBay was , of course, one of them.  My state's AG 's office has over 100 people in a special task force sending cease and desist letters and fining those who haven't complied.  The SG won't do anything.

These masks have been banned since March 5th.  The price is irrelevant.

24.oo for 2 masks is gouging. your only allowed to raise the price by a certain percentage now.

I do not understand it either. If all the other stores, & online stores can stop selling them why cant ebay stop it. All the reps. have to do is search for the n95 masks & there they are.  Sellers are putting a different number in the tittle , but if you look at the masks there are n95 no matter what they say the number is. I do not think it would do any good if you report the seller   for selling them either. They should be made to give them to the health care workers that are putting their lives on the line every minute.
