A Man Got Banned by Amazon and eBay for Selling Overpriced Sanitary Equipment
As the COVID-19 pandemic scared millions of people across the world since January 2020, many profited a lot from various medical supplies that people so desperately wanted to buy. But one guy is now stuck with 17,000 hand sanitizers he can’t sell because Amazon and eBay banned him for price excavating.
Early February Matt Colvin, a 36-year-old former Air Force technical sergeant, and Amazon seller earned an estimated $90,000 profit after selling "pandemic packs". He secured 2000 'pandemic packs' leftovers from a nonfunctioning company, with products that he managed to buy from a liquidation firm for $3.50 each, instead of its original selling price $5.
With a stock of 17,000 hand sanitizers in his garage, Matt knew he is going to be a millionaire within days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The next day, with just around 300 packs sold, Amazon and eBay took down his posts and banned him for life.
