Rejected petition To make Scalpers / Scalping illegal

I want the government to legislate to prevent companies or individuals bulk buying high demanding items such as the PS5 / Xbox Series X/S or any other high popular items to then to sell on at a highly inflated price for their own personal profit on various auction websites

More details

The reasons for this is because this prevents genuine customers to purchase said items at RRP this also distorts competition as those scalpers usually operate with bots stopping customers pre ordering or buying high demanding items
