e-Bay: Prohibits the sale of masks - hand sanitizers and other products related to Covid-19

Following the advent of coronavirus outside China, there has been a huge increase in the prices of some products such as masks and hand sanitizers.

Σaccording to recent information, the eBay announced the complete ban the sale of masks, hand sanitizers and other disinfectants, in an effort to offset price increases and profiteering by several vendors. This new policy is directly applicable in the US.

His new policy eBay was sent to all sellers last Friday, and is immediately applicable to both new and existing products. EBay states that it removes offers for masks, hand sanitizers and other disinfectant products, as well as all product descriptions with "coronavirus", "COVID-19" (coronavirus 2019) and "2019nCoV" (2019 new coronavirus) and other common epidemic words.

As e-Bay states in its announcement:

Since the end of January, prices of COVID-19-related health and hygiene products have soared, especially in stores such as Amazon and eBay. These sites allow third party vendors to advertise and sell their products. According to reports, the  eBay has removed more than 20.000 product listings because these stores power it public panic.

According to eBay, consumers who want to know more can search for the company's new policy, which aims to protect people from the behavior of sellers.benefiting from human tragedy or suffering".

On the issue of price increases on third-party platforms, the measures taken by Amazon so far are relatively less strict. The company simply so far quickly removes the hand disinfectants and masks that have the highest price. However, Amazon has not completely banned these products.

Όas we had mentioned here in our community, the well-known Chinese shops have also entered the dance of speculation, in an article that we published a few days ago and which you can read at the following link.
