Another piece of evidence that eBay is run by fools.

We've been out of masks and sanitizer for at least a week in California. I would gladly pay 2-3 times list price.

don't forget to get toilet paper lol. In Australia, they currently have guards manning the toilet paper aisles, and newspapers are printing extra blank pages....

A nine years old kid in Wuhan is heating up congee and leave them outside the door for her grandparents who self quarantined themselves in their bedrooms but they must be sharing the same bathroom?

I'm in Florida. We have hurricanes, and supplies run out quick. Want to know what would prevent that? Price gouging. Make it worth while for people to go out of their way to bring supplies in to be sold. Don't allow price gouging, to protect people from being price gouged, and you just prevent them from being able to buy that thing, even if they COULD and wanted to afford the price.

Definitely, reselling masks if anything is connecting buyers with a product they otherwise might have had trouble locating.

Won't argue with ya! I was sourcing masks from home improvement websites, marine websites, medical depot websites, even got some from a sole veteran-owned supply store

Guy was awesome.

Figure they might have otherwise sat on the shelf in the store, but with the internet were able to be shipped to CA, NY, FL, TX

This is lost on me. Could someone explain 'why' toilet paper?

That is incorrect. The death rate from the Flu is 0.1%.
March 3, the World Health Organization said the global mortality rate of the
Coronavirus was 3.4%

Yes, but the flu kills and has killed a HELL of a lot more people. I think that's what they meant. It kills 40-80K a year in America. Cali has one death, and they declare a state of emergency.

As far as the 3.4% number. Yeah, that's complete garbage. The amount of people that got this, and had no idea, or weren't tested at all, is probably staggering. For many, it's barley a mild cold. America has tested a few thousand people. So sure, if 10 die but only 1000 were tested, you magically have 10% rate. America currently has the second highest rate. That 3.4% number is based entirely on a complete lack of information, and we might not ever actually know the real number. But I promise, whatever number they give, will always be an over estimation.

Not sure which item is more popular the people are wanting to scoop us, masks or hand sanitizer.

Currently there is plenty of listings for sanitizer, and this is after the ban for listing masks and sanitizer. I have inventory to sell as others selling it have.
Many are still making a nice profit on sanitizers selling on eBay.
Not sure why these sanitizers are still listed

because ebay isn't all powerful and omniscient. Plenty of sellers selling plenty of things that they aren't allowed to sell on ebay. It's all stupid anyways. Hand sanitizer doesn't work as well as just plain ole soap. Not to mention, most people don't use it right, or enough of it. ANd your hands have to be clean for it to really work. Hand sanitizer companies really played a great trick on humanity. Convincing us it needs to even exist...

And masks are also useless. It's amazing what fear will do to normally rational people.
