Why does Ebay let individuals sell toilet rolls at auction

[far-2-many-ids]

Why does Ebay allow individuals to sell toilet paper at auction, this only promotes the ridiculous scenes we see of empty supermarket shelves.

Is it in Ebays values to allow people to make excessive profit from someone else’s desperate circumstance.

If only commercial suppliers were allowed to sell these items during shortages then maybe we wont see the bulk buying or large queues of people looking to make a quick buck.

That would only work if you didn't value your account. The trouble is, if you did that a few times, you could end up banned by ebay or blocked by a few sellers which would be a pain if you wanted to keep buying occasionally from this site.
