Auction site to ban on Yahoo mask exhibition From 14th to March 5th 15:35
In response to a request from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Yahoo has decided to ban listings on auction sites from the 14th of this month for masks that are running out of stock due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
According to Yahoo, the operation of the auction site operated by the company will be prohibited from displaying auction-style masks for the time being from the 14th of this month.
Masks, which have become scarce due to the spread of the new coronavirus, have been resold at high prices on the Internet, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has requested that the online auction operating company refrain from exhibiting.
In response to this request, Yahoo has decided to prohibit the listing, and will take measures such as deleting it if the listing is confirmed.
It is not prohibited to use a form in which the user decides on a price, not an auction form, but if the price is determined to be inappropriate according to social wisdom, it is necessary to take measures such as deleting it.
For masks and alcohol for disinfection, Mercari, a major company of Flea Market, also confirms the acquisition route to the seller and deletes the product if inappropriate transactions such as resale purposes are suspected. .
