Greedy sellers have been hiking up the prices of masks in order to capitalise on people\u2019s fears. This is alleged to have prompted a response from Amazon and it\u2019s been claimed the retail giant has removed dodgy listings as well as sending cease and desist emails to opportunistic sellers. On Amazon\u2019s marketplace forums, customers and sellers have been complaining about \u2018price gouging\u2019. <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2020\/02\/27\/amazon-tells-sellers-stop-hiking-prices-coronavirus-masks-12312191\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clicking buy on Amazon?
