Aldi shoppers fume as shopper stocks up on Olaplex dupes only to sell them on eBay

Angry Aldi shoppers have taken to social media after they came across a listing on eBay and not many people happy.

The products being sold on the online marketing platform are Aldi's own range of hair care products which are said to be a dupe of Olaplex - a popular brand known for their three-step process which aims to repair and prevent hair damage.

Their products can, for some, be a little expensive with many looking for alternatives within their budget. And Aldi seem to tick all the boxes for this requirement according to some shoppers with their products going viral on TikTok.

Olaplex sells shampoo, conditioner as well as a clarifying shampoo trio bundle which costs £84 as well as a range of other bundles and singular items.

Aldi's version of this also comes with a shampoo and conditioner as well as a pre-wash and is being sold as an "Olaplex dupe". It is unclear how much the Aldi set usually costs with one of the products being listed on their website as 'sold out' and no price indicated.

However, on eBay the set is being sold for £34.95 plus a near £3 postage fee taking it to a total cost of £37.90. Taking to the Facebook group, Aldi UK shoppers, one customer captioned the photo: "And the craze has started" followed by a rolling eye emoji.

In response to the post, many seemed annoyed that the dupes were being sold for the same price that you can buy the branded versions from with one saying: "Ridiculous! Why would anyone buy it when you can get Olaplex for the same price?"

Another person added: "If people didn't buy off of those greedy Ebay'ers then we wouldn't have this problem. Happens with the Carrots, egg chairs, and anything else that's hyped up and popular."
