Hi, I have had my item removed accused of price gouging yet I am priced in the middle of the market,and cannot reduce my price anymore,despite there being sellers selling for double my price. Whats going on, and how do i get ebay to look properly at the prices of what they are actually selling for.

@doughboybakery

It's not just the price....you appear to be trading illegally....you could only sell as a business seller.....

BUT

Only BUSINESS SELLERS with a history of selling such products may request approved seller status to sell them

Noboby else can sell them even ay 1p each

eBay Policy Now

you were trading illegally selling them while registered as a private seller & still making a profit out of a disaster in breach of eBay policies

Only business sellers with a track record of selling these items are approved to sell them

Simply put.......this is not all about price.....eBay policy is also about seeking to profit from a disaster

2. Were you selling these items before the COVID19 crisis ?? if Yes go to no3 if no go to no5

3. If yes have you increased your prices since the crisis ?? if Yes go to No4 if no go to No6

4 Can you prove this is due to supplier price increases ? If Yes go to No6 if No go to No5

5. You cannot sell these items on eBay

6.You can sell these items on eBay

YOU REALLY NEED TO REMOVE YOUR OTHER FLOUR LISTINGS AS YOUR SELLER STATUSE CURRENTLY DOES NOT ALLOW THE SALE & IF EBAY REMOVE THEM YOU MIGHT FACE A COMPLETE BAN
