Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

[noob in 89]

I’ve been a germaphobe since catching the flu about a decade ago; friends and family give me **** about it. Today my brother sent me a text storm with much apocalyptic advice, including to get a gun to protect your Costco food in case the neighbors catch wind of it.

Here’s an article about price gouging on hand sanitizer and face masks. It never once crossed my mind to try to profit off of Coronavirus.

Fortunately I'm already basically a hermit, so this social distancing thing is not really affecting me too much.



My wife on the other hand is having a major tantrum about it all.



Therefore....it will likely affect me in a big way in coming days/weeks.

It takes a special kind of shitbird to exploit people who are panicking about their families' wellbeing. We've got them up here too.

They bought up Lysol wipes and resold them online for a profit. Now Amazon has blocked their account

The account of Manny Ranga and Violeta Perez was blocked for violating Amazon’s policy around inflating prices, according to a company spokesperson. The couple said they’d spent about $70,000 on Lysol wipes and liquid cleaners and made more than $100,000 in sales to individuals and businesses.

Hixson, TN has a population of about 15,000. That guy's garage will be pretty easy to find for the motivated.

I'm tempted to buy single rolls of TP that people are advertising as "new" and open SNAD cases because they're not in the original packaging.

Hey all - random request: working on a project that trains a program to ID fake items based on a picture of a tag/patch/label (Think Canada goose or moncler, for now). Anybody out here accumulated pics with examples of fake or real items? Alternatively if you know of a website where people regularly verify fakes, that helps too. Ideally looking for something with a bunch of pictures (at least 5 or more) whether real or fake.
Thanks!
