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