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
As things are gradually getting back to normal a lot of unregistered business sellers who thought they could make a few quid by in effect trading illegally are in for a bit of a shock.
ebay are clamping down big style on these sellers and so they should.
Hopefully in a few more weeks stocks in stores will be back to near normality and been sold at normal retail prices.
And those sellers who bought in items in order to make a over the top quids in sale will end up looking at rooms of toilet rolls and sanitisation stock for many months to come.
