Rejected petition Ban people from bulk buying essentials to sell for profit

Ban people from bulk buying essentials I.e baby milk, nappies, sanitary products, toiletries etc to sell for profit.
Allow people to only sell things at the same price they paid on purchase or less.

More details

In light of Covid-19 and the amount of people bulk buying, I have seen numerous people selling essential items like nappies, baby milk, toiletries, pain killers etc for an extortionate amount of money and a considerable amount more than they paid for it.
This is forcing people to go without as they can obtain these items in shops or afford to pay the ridiculous prices these bulk buyers are asking.
