Hi thanks to you people, I now know eBay have no interest in overpriced items. My question is, is there any way to alert potential buyer about this? Just come across an item being sold by Boots for £2.99 with a number of eBay sellers pricing the same item for £8+, plus charging £4 if item cannot be delivered and another £4 deduction for something else, which I can't remember because it's way past my bedtime. I'm ok with people makiing a profit but think there has to be a limit.
Ebay don't like price-gouging. So use the 'Report' button (there's one on every listing), and choose 'Price gouging' as the reason for the report.
You can't alert potential buyers unless you've bought one and can therefore leave feedback. But that feedback would be totally removeable, as you saw the price before purchasing, so enabling you to make a sensible buying decision. Presumably you haven't bought one, as no sensible person would buy at that price when they can either buy at their local store, or order from Boots online if they can't get out. But if they do buy at that price, that's their choice.
