Reporting price gouging

element66_uk — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 12:19:19 GMT

Hi, does anyone know where the ‘price gouging’ button has gone on report an item? I am reporting as many examples of the disgraceful profiteering that has been going on during the covid crisis, often for much needed items. However, as of today I can’t see the button for reporting price gouging

although eBay instructions tell you to use it, it would seem eBay have removed it for reasons unknown.

Yeah, seems to be the case. What a shame, as there are some accounts that def need removing due to blatant profiteering during this crisis.
Thanks for responding though, much appreciated

@element66_uk

The current drop downs do cover this & eBay have removed over 350000 listings & banned users....I have repported 100's myself.....how many have you reported ??

Why are people not bothering to even look at the hundreds of questions on the subject to find an answer before asking yet again !!

Please take the time to read the dozens of similar posts on the forums on the subject

eBay are not allowing the sales....with over 2 million listings on eBay they cannot police this......they cannot ban all adverts as some are charging a correct price

They breach eBay policy........but they cannot simply ban all sales as some are genuine

eBay rely on members to use the report link on EVERY LISTING

I have reverted to

Ok, sorry this triggered you.
Your message was quite rude.
I can see that they have removed it. You picking a different way demonstrates this. I was asking a simple question and didn’t realise there were other discussions. Thanks for jumping down my throat, I am new to the community, as you will see by my number of posts - if it’s got angry folk like you on it, who could be fussed.
