Amazon

says it has removed 530,000 offers from the marketplace for coronavirus-based price gouging and suspended more than 2,500 seller accounts in its U.S. marketplace for violating its price-gouging policies.

 

apparently the company listens to customer feedback - so if you see it, report it.

Good!  I bought a box of disposable gloves at a reasonable price yesterday.  When I had checked on the gloves a few days ago, the prices were out of line.

Oh no!  Not disposable gloves.  Gardening season is upcoming and I need those.  Plus, I use them when coloring my hair.

Good, because what I saw on there the other day for that hand sanitizer was ridiculous.

I just got three 8 ounce bottles of it for 99 cents each at my local Harps. And they had several bottles of it, and of some sort of foam hand sanizer too. All was 99 cents for 8 ounces.

@Icegoddess @the prices seemed reasonable when I ordered a box yesterday.  It's supposed to arrive on Sunday.

I bought the Lysol in the brown bottle from Amazon, said to kill coronavirus.  I can't remove the lid.  The lid is made for amother type bottle.  I have sent them emails and feedback, to no avail.  Perhaps that is a bottle of price gouging that I paid for and will not get my money refunded.

They mentioned on tonight's news that e-bay has also suspended sellers gouging on face masks and hand sanitizers.

Good

Maybe they will end up stuck with hand sanitizer that will go bad.
