In light of the current pandemic, there is a spate of price gouging on eBay, in particular, packets of paracetamol retailing at 50p, be sold for £5.00 and upwards, whilst I suppose this is not illegal, it is certainly immoral, does eBay not have any codes of conduct to prevent this?

You are a bit behind the news here I'm afraid.
eBay have removed over half a million items, and banned many sellers for life from their site for life, for price gouging. Profiteering from this crisis is against their policy for Disasters & Tragedies.
Read what they have done from the green banner top of this page, and from the Announcement link bottom of this page.
Yes, of course, some will still creep through, eBay is a MASSIVE site, they cannot police it all themselves, so ask us their members to reprot too.
Report item half way down right hand side, then select Price Gouging >> Price Gouging >> and select the relevant category Sanitation / Hygenie / Medical / etc.
