Was browsing eBay this morning and thought I'd see if the profiteers had started on medicines.
Low and behold, Calpol prices are astounding and there has obviously people buying up, who don't need it, to sell for a huge profit.
I've done a change.org petition to stop the sales of medicines on eBay so, if you agree, please sign it and we can see if this can be stopped.
As a family with 2 small girls we will probably need this as things continue and have not been able to find any, in store, for the last 2 weeks.

Thanks

Anyone buying medicine off ebay is an idiot I'm afraid,they could be putting anything anything into it as any sales on there are not regulated.
all medicine sales, testing and distribution is controlled by the mhra.
eBay should shut down the whole lot

You can report price-gouging directly to eBay. Just done a load of the Calpol ones.

Thanks all.

Had this response from Ebay:
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. We're in the process of removing items that appear to be attempting to profit from the current health crisis. Visit http://bit.ly/2PSQhw5 for more information on actions we're taking. ~Brianna

Looks like they're doing something about it..
