Have a look at this item
There doesn't seem to be anything for sale for $1.00AUD. The only way to have $1.00AUD listed, is by selecting "Instructions-No delivery", in the quantity selection. Many more listings similar to this are present, seemingly deliberately misleading, or fraudulent. Why does eBay tolerate this? It drags the site down. People get annoyed, then give Amazon, AliExpress, or other platforms a try. Would seem to be in eBay's best interest to remove them, but they are there in plenty.

eBay will not do anything about sellers in China (despite the 'Au seller' they are in China
Buyers keep choosing to buy from such sellers and keep them in business
Their feedback alone would make me click away from them instantly
You could try to report them for keyword spamming but being in China it will unlikely do any good
Or report them directly to Apple

I have had some luck reporting the worst of those sorts of offenders for "search and browse manipulation".
eBay is not quick to act in such cases, and it may take several reports from independent users, but those listings do get removed or changed.
Bookmark a lowest-first search that turns up those sort of listings in your chosen category, and every day report the highest ranked listings that you have not already reported.
