why ebay doesnt help sellers

[fabio_shop_uk]

Ebay is removing listing of essentials like toilet rolls and hand sanitizers and wipes because listings are not following price gouging  policy as sellers should sell same price as high street shops but how can sellers do that when there is ebay fees and paypal fees on top of that price on top of the postage cost.

most of the sellers want and can sell same price of high street shops and help people and also make a living in this situation because majority of sellers are self employed and there is still no help or funding till June from goverment to help but with the fees on top we have to add on top of the cost and when we do that  our listing gets removed so we bought the items from the factory or distributer and we cant compite with high street shops and  we cant sell it on ebay so what should we do ....Ebay should help us, cut the fees on essential items no ebay or paypal fees so we can help people and help ourself

ebay are removing those items when they are listed by private sellers,

and you are using a private account so you are not allowed to sell them

only registered businesses who were selling those items before the crisis are allowed to sell them now

if you buy items with the sole intention of selling them you need to upgrade to a business account

i have business account as well and tried to sell it on that as well and i was selling them before as well but still removed and i even mentioned in my listing i am selling same price as high street shops plus ebay and paypal fees on top so logically how can we sell same price as supermarkets when there is lots of fees

[pixiesen2012]

ebay decided which sellers they were going to allow to sell those items


there was an announcement all about it:-

if you weren't one of the chosen few you can't use ebay to sell them,


find a different outlet to sell them.

what u say is right but ebay also mentions u can still sell it but same price as high street shops but how can we do will all the fees

[pixiesen2012]

where do they say that?

[fabio_shop_uk]

in the email they sent me

[fabio_shop_uk]

if it was just approved sellers by ebay and no one else ok fair enough but when it says u can sell it but not more than high street price (it is in their email) so it means we can sell it
