Stop the resale of baby essentials at high prices on selling sites.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop websites like eBay allowing people to sell products such as baby milk and nappies at very high prices during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Times are hard for everyone at the moment. People bulk buying products such as baby milk and nappies which are essential for a babies care and selling on sites at three times the price is unethical and also problematic. Many can barely afford these items in the first place making them completely unobtainable now.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government and Parliament are not responsible for the price of consumer goods.
