Default Price gouging

As a senior with an autoimmune disease, I'm kind of a COVID-19 sitting duck. I fully recognize that price gouging is wrong and my actions are contributing to the problem, but I was still okay with paying $17 for two bottles of disinfectant cleaning spray on eBay.

Then eBay removed that listing for gouging. I ordered something from a different seller whose listing was also deleted but that person got my order in the mail quickly and it's on the way.

I feel like a collaborator in Vichy France, but all the experts are telling us to disinfect up to three times a day and I can't use my diluted bleach solution on all surfaces.

Have you experienced similar dilemmas or lines you're not willing to cross?
