If I report these inflated price items on Ebay, will they even look into it?
Yes.

And double their fee %, probably.

I mean, how hard would it be to hold all attempted posts of "calpol" and other keywords for moderation?

Yes, I find it rather odd. I have two places at home where I take video calls: one has one of work's conference logo banners set up in the background (partly to hide a huge stack of regulatory paperwork); and the other is a plain wall. Any effort the video call software spends encoding detail of books is effort that it's not spending on your face, so overloading the backdrop means you get to look like a blockier, jerkier jerk.

The other thing that I find odd is how many people don't put their laptop or phone on a stand or at least a stack of books to raise the camera to eye level, even for TV. You can see some of the male callees have more hair up their nose than on their head, which seems a very odd feature to emphasise.
<taking notes> :okay:

OK I have reported it, I would bar the account totally, that's totally disgusting.
Thank you for trying. Can you add it to your watchlist and see if it disappears? It would be nice to know if they're doing anything.
 
You had to crawl in through the heating ducts?!? Or was it just that you didn't want to queue?

Took me forever to pick the broken glass out of my feet...

The Robert Koch Institute fortunately does the figures in English, and the link gives the current situation that is updated at midnight every day. The average here is 56% for men at the moment, and the section you want is on p. 3 just after the map. Shows men as the majority across all age ranges. You will note on your way through the fairly rapid increase in the number of infections even from yesterday, although mercifully the death rate has been relatively low to date.

Plexiglas sales have increased massively, I saw on the TV news today. I thought it was shops installing sneeze-guards to protect checkout staff, but maybe it's the fault of people schieß-ing the Fensters. ;)
