Regulate bots purchasing collectibles online

Closed 41 signatures

What the petition asks

People are using bots to buy collectibles in the UK and we feel it is making it difficult for genuine collectors to buy items for them self's. When people are bulk buying using bots, they may then put these items on different sites for extortionate amounts of money.

These bot bulk buyers are operating in the UK and we feel it is not fair on the genuine collectors that actually want to collect items and are may be forced to buy them at an extortionate prices from possible black market sellers who have no interest in collecting.
