Stop online auction sites or markets places from selling protected items
Provide emergency laws to stop online auction sites and market places from re-selling protected items such as toilet rolls, nappies and wipes
The UK has seen panic buying way beyond a controllable scale, many essential items becoming difficult for all to acquire. Toilet Roll, nappies, wipes all bought up and now being resold online through EBay and Facebook Market Place at a higher than retail price. Pressure should be put on the websites to cease this trade immediately.
