Stop People Selling Essentials Items At Inflated Prices

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want them to put a stop to people selling essentials at inflated prices on places like Amazon & Ebay.
Some people have only been buying things to sell for a profit, like baby milk, nappies, toilet rolls, wash items etc. Meaning people can't get things they need for everyday living. They are going around shops buying as much as they can & then selling them on at inflated prices on places like Amazon & Ebay. People that can't get the items can't buy these things at these prices as it can be as much as a months shopping or more for one item.
