网商“坐地起价” 网购平台:恶意抬价就下架!

自新型冠状病毒(前称武汉肺炎)疫情爆发以来,我国口罩成为民众抢购物品,甚至一度出现“口罩荒”,也有一些网卖商家纷纷抬高价格,从5倍至20倍左右。网路购物平台旋转拍卖(Carousell)与Qoo10欲请卖家勿“坐地起价”。

旋转拍卖与Qoo10认为在疫情爆发之际,抬高口罩价格的卖家乃牟取暴利,因此要求卖家停止高额出售口罩。

旋转拍卖营运副总裁陈素玲向媒体表示,近期内将和卖家取得直接联系,并建议他们为口罩合理定价,公平分发口罩,若发现定价不合理的口罩将要求卖家纠正,而卖家如不遵循,将可能会被撤下。

Qoo10的总经理涂家林则与旋转拍卖持有相同的观点,表示将对“坐地起价,试图引发公众忧虑与恐慌,借此牟取暴利的商人采取行动。“

他表示,“一经调查后,若发现商家借此恶意抬高价格,将可能会被停止在本平台出售任何商品。”

自疫情爆发以来,全球亦开始陷入恐慌,据卫生部的消息指出,我国目前确诊病例已达10例,患者正接受治疗,而口罩也成了必备的防御工具,为能避免受到感染,许多民众也纷纷抢购口罩,其中最抢手的即是高防御性的外科口罩。

尽管卫生部再度劝导目前身体状况良好的民众无需用到外科口罩,但仍然陷入“口罩荒“。在职总平价合作社(NTUC FairPrice)的官网上可见,外科口罩与N95口罩目前已缺货中;而在屈臣氏的网站上亦可见,至少四种类型的口罩已卖光,而网络上有许多网民也拍下为口罩排长龙的的照片和视频。

而零售商也表示,他们目前也正与供应商合作,引进新的口罩库存。

对此,当局也呼吁,外科口罩对于感到不适,出现咳嗽或流鼻涕,或有呼吸道疾病的民众才有效,若身体状况良好,民众是不需要戴上口罩的。

尽管如此,也仍无法阻止口罩抢购一空。

口罩价格竟涨至5至20倍

《今日报》前往旋转拍卖的网站查看时,在过去三天内,该网站共有500多种类型的外科口罩,而大多数商家均以一盒50个口罩出售,其中价格竟然落在30元左右。

据了解,一般50个口罩通常是要价5至7元左右,但部分卖家也将设定在10至15元左右,而少许卖家则将价格调整至50至100元左右,即一般价格的20倍。

此外,洗手液也成为热销商品,据旋转拍卖的15种洗手液而言,其价格则上涨了四倍。

而同样地,在Qoo10的网站上,涂家林则表示其价格也平均上涨了30至65巴仙。除了暂停卖家用户意外,Qoo10也表示将会采取其他行动来压低口罩价格。

涂家林指出,将会有7万个口罩将于今日从韩国运出,预计周一抵达新加坡,这批口罩有助于缓解口罩短缺,同时也会确保平台上的卖家不会借此牟取暴利。
