Selfish dicks selling 47p Aldi handgels in eBay for £18?

[Legoandloldolls]

I wish Ebay would add a category to report these arseholes.

If some twat wants to buy a 47p product for £19 then knock yourself out. Darwin's theory at play there.....

But seeing OAPs asking in shops for this knowing some utter low life has bought the entire delivery to sell on eBay gives me rage.

I bet Ebay love their cut. I would report it but theres no category.

Arseholes. Yes I am aware I need to get a life and go back to looking for a last minute fucking world book day costume in my dress up pile of doom, but this is why I hate humans and hope viruses kill our species off somedays

ebay has sent a message to ALL sellers that they will stop listings that obviously profiteer from Covid-19!

I haven't really been following this, but I wonder what they'll do about actual auctions rather than buy-it-now prices. And what do we think about the morality of an auction in which the price is driven up by buyers competing?

Supply and demand, it's inevitable when most people have £££ in their eyes

Maybe the “old dears” (have you always been so patronizing to those who happen to have been born before you?) were wanting to buy them to sell them on eBay?

I imagine those who’ve lived through the war and other outbreaks of disease over the years are well aware that soap and water is the best way to wash hands anyway.

For anyone needing/wanting hand gel superdrug has some on their website half price at 61p for click and collect. Some areas do have some.

It's only 62% Ethanol so not the 70% minimum considered to be effective

I agree with you op, people who do that are utter scum.

There was a professor from the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine on the radio on Monday and she said that alcohol in gels should be at least 62% so these are fine.

The BBC report just said 60% fine but I thought it was 70%

Hopefully, they will get that much for them and it will serve them right. If they think it's okay to clear the shelves and profiteer from this, I wouldn't trust them not to delete the gel with water or something anyway. The same applies to anyone selling for huge prices on Amazon or eBay.

Hopefully, they will get that much for them Hopefully, they won't get that much for them

Hopefully, they won't get that much for them

You're probably right

@BombayTricycleClub The trust I work for is trying to order PPE, including small and big bottles of alco-gel, however it keeps being stolen and flogged on eBay.

I agree OP, people are fuckwits.

My local pharmacy was sold out but offered Hibiscrub as an alternative. Not quite as convenient as gel but ok to decant into a small bottle for handbag.

There is loads in production and being flown over from India currently there won’t be a shortage . Well there isn’t a shortage of greedy people it seems anyway . Hang tight !

That's reassuring Choux
Hope those selling them for inflated prices are left with boxes and boxes!

Aren't people awful?

As said before washing hands is the best protection but gel also offers some protection for between washes. Heard a paediatric nurse on the radio who said the best protection was washing followed by gel.
As for those on the make when we are all in this together, well what goes around comes around. The miserable, nasty, evil b.......s

woodchuck we were talking about ebay - ebay sent out message to sellers that they will stop such sales. Not sure howthey will deal with auctions, I think most ar sold on BIN for speed.
I think they need to only allow instant buys on these, with no more than 10 per cent profit.

Good Housekeeping have a recipe for home made handwash Fill small bottle 1/3 to 1/4 with vodka .top up with aloe vera gel . A lot cheaper !
