Stop the sale of baby medicine such as calpol/paracetamol on eBay
eBay must ban or fine users who exploit the current situation with the Coronavirus and shortage of baby paracetamol by selling it on eBay at extortionate prices. Preying on worried parents.
Having had a sick child a week ago I drove round at least a dozen shops/supermarkets/chemists over the course of 2-3 days and could t find any calpol to help my babies fever. I finally got given some from a friend but out of interest I went on eBay to see a lot of people who’d obviously stock piled and were selling £3.50 bottles of calpol for as much as £30. I’m led to believe they’re doing the same with baby formula. This shouldn’t be allowed.
