Stop online inflated prices and bulk buying of baby products etc
Rejected

What the petition asks
The government needs to stop people making money from over inflated selling of essential daily products. Especially online platforms such as eBay and Amazon. Either stop them or cap them. Make all online/supermarkets limit purchases of essentials such as baby formula etc.
Just look on eBay and Amazon. It’s all very evident people are being exploited in desperate times.
