Tell Amazon: We shouldn’t have to tolerate price gouging -- especially during a pandemic

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos:

In December, a survey of 750 products sold on Amazon across 15 different categories revealed that, compared to pre-pandemic costs, more than half of the listing prices increased by 20 percent or more, and 136 at least doubled in price.

These price hikes are taking advantage of consumers and creating barriers to product access, during a pandemic where many of those products are essential to families’ health and safety.

Amazon must do everything possible to ensure that all essential products on its site are fairly priced. We ask you to strictly enforce your Marketplace Fair Pricing Policy and remove all cases of excessively priced essentials.
