An article from 'Which?' about "Price-gouging: How to spot it, report it and get your money back".

This could be useful for anyone who feels they have been overcharged for certain products - masks, hand sanitisers, medications, etc. are some of the items that come to my mind:

I agree that people are ripping others off for Covid related items..There are always those who will try to make a quick buck.

BUT a very big BUT don't expect to get vary far with perusing anyone here in Spain if you think you have been ripped off. You will get nowhere. UK legislation does no apply here.

Before you buy be certain you know what the price should really be.

Yes, 'Which?' is the magazine of the UK consumer association and we have many UK residents on this forum.

I always find the Citizens Advice Bureau a useful resource here in Spain.
