I only have 6 available.

Only Ebay pre approved Business Sellers are allowed to list them. Those that have been selling such items for a long time and not someone who may just be trying to price gouge on items in short supply.

If you really want to HELP and as you say people NEED them then why not donate them to a local residential care home or the like.

You will have to Sell them somewhere else. Takes years of Business Selling on here before you would even be considered as an Approved Seller.

This member forum, no ebay staff here.

You have to an established business seller before you can sell masks, why would a private seller have multiples of these?

"you guys are NOT allowing me to help !" Firstly we are members like you and do not make Ebay Policies.

Ebay no doubt only consider BUSINESS SELLERS with a long history of selling that sort of item, and a good selling record.

You are a Private Seller, you have a No Returns Policy, so even if you were allowed to sell, no buyer should buy from you. Private Sellers do not have a stock of Masks.

I buy these for my work and have done for years, could sell only 6, and that's it. I've paid for them, so why can't I sell them on if it helps? I'm not a charity or a business and nor are the others.
eBay rules the Whole World then...I shall keep them then, thanks to you know who.

Ok......your choice if you keep them and not donate them to someone who is say caring for elderly folk and those carers have none. Ebay have removed hundreds of thousands of listings where people are price gouging hence why now only a select few can sell certain items. Those other members listing certain items who are not approved to do so are being restricted either temporarily or permanently by Ebay.

Remember....we are all in this together.

If I've read your posts correctly, you say you're not a business, and use these masks that you've had for years for work. If this is true (which i doubt, as I believe you bought extra to specifically sell on Ebay at this time), I'm disgusted that you've suddenly decided that now is the time to sell them. That is rank profiteering from people's fear and desperation, and is not only a breach of Ebay rules, but UK law. If you really wanted to 'help', you'd have quietly donated them to a worthy cause, not come to whinge about Ebay's perfectly correct decision on a public forum.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining. Just think - you won't have to buy any more of these masks for your work for a good long time.
