How can I report a item for price gouging.

I am unable to report serious price gouging. What usually sells for about $20, this moron is asking $2000. I can not find the correct link to report price gouging..

I doubt that it is price gouging.

The more likely scenario is that the item is out of stock and the seller does not want to lose his place in the searches.

It is quite common for them to increase the price so nobody will buy the item.

Keep watching the item and see what happens.

 

Quite frankly, anyone who would buy at that price deserves to pay through the nose.....nothing  can be that important!

Sellers have the right to list an item for whatever they want, and if a buyer purchases at that price then it is their fault that they didn't do their homework.

It is likely, as mentioned, just being used as a placeholder until more stock comes in. You really don't have to buy it and just scroll down.

What you believe to be price gouging is not so, when you realize 

why the price is so high.

 

The reason is that the Sellers item is OUT OF STOCK

and rather than remove the add, and only waste time to

recreate the advertisement later, the Seller has posted 

an extraordinarily high price  KNOWING that no  one will buy

at that price,

 

It is used as a method of placing sales on HOLD and not price gouging.

It should be clear that no one is being forced to accept and pay any

listed price.

 

You pay what you consider to be best value  for you and base that on

the score of POSITIVE feedback reports on the seller.
