Can ebay please, delete all the ads for toilet paper because the big hype,

[annwillems-0]

To whom it may concern, 

Because the big hype, regarding toilet paper, and some people buying ridiculous amounts and than try to make money out of this on ebay , is not something to exept!  Please can you delete these ads? It is not fair, these people are buying so much, so other people are not able to do their normal shopping anymore! 

Thank you 

Kind regards A. Willems

And yes, they do address the post to everyone to cover their backsides.

It's not ok because they buy it in Woolies as much as they can get and then sell it on eBay at huge prices. What a disgusting thing to do in a crisis unAustralian.

"If you don't like the price, don't buy"

That does not solve the problem. 

It's a supply and demand problem. A false demand has been created, and now an overpriced supply (on ebay and elsewhere online). The only solution is to criminalize this price-gouging activity and punish the offenders, thus disincentivizing such behaviour. 

Ebay could make this process easier by temporarily banning the sale of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and other such products on its platforms. It has done this with other product categories in the past. That it has not done so for toilet paper etc already is shameless. I am not going to purchase anything on ebay again until it takes a more proactive stance on the matter.

So you want to stop both buyers who have to buy online and prefer to buy these items on Ebay, and sellers who are genuine and doing the right thing - even though with the cost of postage and other fees as well as a little profit (yes, like other stores) might make their products seem a bit expensive, from purchasing?

Many people have to buy even everyday goods online and can't get to B&M stores.
