Are you buying up toilet paper and re-selling it here?

Hi I would like to ask all of those buying up toilet paper and paper towels from supermarkets and re-selling on ebay to stop this practice. It is really un-Australian, selfish and doesn't take into account the fact that people in need and who are physically or mentally able to go shopping are missing out. Instead how about you give it away to those in need. Also Ebay you should be controlling this. Take and stand and give us back some confidence that you have some respect and care for the community. Thank you

EBAY DON'T READ HERE

 

Thanks for spamming the boards with yet another thread on toilet paper sellers.

 

Why can't people read the boards before starting another thread on the same subject which is done to death.

 

Read the Discussion/Buying/Selling boards and count 'em.

If you want to ask them, then ask THEM, instead of hiding on the forum where they will never see your post

 

Send the sellers a message and tell them

 

Contact eBay and tell them

 

 

99% of sellers who read here are decent people and sick to death of people like yourself spamming the forum ,blaming us for what eBay allow, what 'these' sellers do and other toilet related trash talk that WE have nothing to do with

 

Funny how out of the 30 odd spammers 'complaining' only ONE has had the guts to to DO anything

You are unlikely to find anyone on the boards who is buying up toilet paper and paper towels to resell on ebay.....and if there are any such people they are unlikely to admit it.

 

Nobody at ebay will see your thread as they do not read here.

 

At least your post is not as abusive as most of the others on the same subject.

Yeah, I have 3 container-loads of toilet paper, sanitizer, paper towels, baked beans, frozen peas and bread that I'm selling on another ID.

 

As soon as I've flogged the lot and bought a mansion in Peppermint Grove, I'll certainly do as you suggest and STOP selling all those things.

Just had a quick look at "Toilet paper" on EBay, it appears that there is little of local brands for sale but a lot of overseas items for sale. I also think that all these suggestions that EBay can control the sale of toilet paper and sanitisers are useless and naive
