Profiteering/Price Gouging On Ebay |
|
|
Posted by Train Dude on Thu Apr 2 14:47:45 2020 Is anyone surprised?When in stock, this item sells at most local supermarkets for $2.79. E bay takes a percentage of the selling price so it is in their best interest for items to sell at the highest price possible but do they have a moral obligation to prevent this from happening? |

I was watching an auction for two cans of lysol. It was up to 20 something bids and $140 bucks before the auction vanished and was taken down.I find it interesting because I can see what clear price gouging is, but this was a proper auction, unless they had fake accounts. |

BTW, I also found some toliet paper for sale by an account with a name that looks like soemone smashed the keyboard. 75% scam rating. Seems to take them a while. |

That's why I wouldn't think of buying anything like this from eBay. Worse comes to worse, I'll try Amazon first. eBay has been good for acquiring some HO-scale cars and engines for my collection (since the local hobby shops have gone out of business, apparently Cubans don't like model trains), but that's about it. |
