Is buying and selling illegal? Which profiteering behaviors are not illegal and which are illegal? Why?

First, not all profiteering is illegal. Selling goods without a business license is actually one of the illegal acts, which does not conform to state regulations.

For example, what price do some businessmen buy in retail and wholesale markets? 1. 1 kg, so he took her to the store to sell it. What's the price? 2 yuan, but this businessman does not have a formal business license, and the goods he sells are not within the business scope of his business license, so it belongs to illegal business and is an act of disrupting market order. If the goods he sells are restricted products, it is also illegal.

Second, it is not illegal for ordinary retailers to get goods in factories and then sell them in stores, and then earn the middle price difference. They have business licenses and operate legally.

Many non-staple food vendors operate according to this sales model. In fact, their own profits are very low, mainly relying on a large number of customers to make profits. Of course, the most important thing is that they can choose a supplier with low price but good quality, thus helping them to sell better and make profits. This is a normal sales method, and it will not take vicious competition to sell goods, nor will it take high-priced sales, so it is a legal means of operation.

Third, buying and reselling is actually buying from one place and selling from another place to get profits and benefits from it. Whether it violates the law depends on whether it is sold according to laws and regulations.

For example, someone sells imported goods, but he has no trading license, import and export certificate of origin and other related business licenses. We don't know his purchase channel. In fact, such profiteering may be an illegal act, because we can't guarantee the quality and safety of goods. It is illegal to sell to customers under uncertain circumstances.
